INDIA - Thought the concept of
gurudakshina was outdated? Think again. Still believing in the age-old ritual, Pieter Weltevrede, a Dutch spiritual artist, is back in India to donate his Ganga Series of Paintings to the Ganga Natural Heritage Museum. His objective is to bring it closer to its motherl and as per the desires of his spiritual guru (teacher), the late Shri Harish Johari. His upcoming exhibition in Mumbai showcasing Indian spiritual art on silk is titled Tat: Twam Asi (that thou art), which is collection of religious paintings based on Indian gods and goddesses as well as real, contemporary India. The proceeds from the project will go to the Har Har Gangye Project, a new campaign to clean the polluted river that will be announced on the same day. “I feel humble and happy to be able to contribute towards the awareness and preservation of Ganga through the Har Har Gangye Project. A river so sacred and pure needs to be taken care of,” insists Weltevrede. [
