God is a visual language of silence

One afternoon after lunch as I was coming out from my friend’s home

in Saket in New Delhi noticed a very fine and famous monument ……..

Qutab Minar ….a UNESCO World Heritage site .. ….

association of brain memory suggest that a very dear friend

and a fine photo artist has a studio near by …….

so decided to call as I visit him once in a blue moon …….

he was delighted to hear me and asked me to come so visited him …..

reaching his office ……. looked at each other for few moments ……

there were a TV crew to interview him

and

I also was pressed for time for a music concert in the evening ……..

asked his permission to leave so he asked …..

why did I visited him for such short time ?……

usually it will last long hours ……

so replied ….. for your DARSHAN …….

so he asked what is DARSHAN …….

replied him …… visual language of silence …..

Darśana (also Darśan or Darshan; Sanskrit: दर्शन) is a term meaning “sight”

In the sense “to see with reverence and devotion,”

and could refer either to a vision of the divine

or to being in the presence of a highly revered person.

“By doing darshan properly a devotee develops affection for God,

and

God develops affection for that devotee.”

Darshan is ultimately difficult to define,

since it is an event in consciousness—

an interaction in presence between devotee and God/guru;
or
between devotee and image or sculpture,

which focuses and calls out the consciousness of the devotee.

In either event, a heightening of consciousness or spirituality is the intended effect.

Hari Anant Hari Katha Ananta

Kahahi Sunahi Bahu Vidhi Sab Santa

Lord (Hari) is infinite (Ananta),

and

so are the stories (Katha) about his glory

All learned seers (Santa) narrate (kahahi) these

and

listen (sunahi) to them in many different ways (bahu vidhi)

ram footnote :

Since all creative languages comes out from silence ……

everyone has own choice and medium of expression and explanations…….

so have your own language …… it can be dance , vocal music , instrumental music , painting , poetry , writing , watching , talking , walking and any thing of our own choice …… all as prayer of divine ….. all with silence ……. all in totality …… all in oneness …… to understand this visual language ….. as
