Jalbhara - the container full of water...






The container full of water - #jalbhara from #kolkata - the assurance of the father-in-law to the groom - the water will never dry up...

from the pretty early days of my life in the serene calm place of a remote district of West Bengal called #purulia, my view towards the teenage discussion of my friends was a little different. for example, when they were trying to find out the vulgarity in the pictures of #khajuraho arts with utter physical sense, maybe I was looking at those from a little different angle. maybe I behaved a bit precociously, but I was like that only. and later I have found that the way we look at the stuff, actually determines our own behavior rather than the person being looked at. and I am sure, many will admit that many of the finest art forms seem to be vulgar if we think with a rigid mind and philosophy but then it creates a real box of jewels the moment we come out from that rigid cage of thought-processing and this is the first step for unlearning the conditioned education that one receives as real.

so as a #guru of my young son, my advice to all the young kids across the globe is that before you build a rigid, judgmental mindset about what is moral or what is immoral, what is good or what is bad, please verify it from your #lordshiva or the inner-conscience and accept whatever advise He offers to you as a pure #wisdom

look at the image of a famous sweet from #kolkata called #jalbhara meaning a container full of water.

can you relate this to anything special about our human body? now, you will surely know why the name is like this.

and here lies the action from your #lordshiva... how will you accept it - as a pure art form or anything else (you got it, right?) and in case you have to explain it to someone from outside #kolkata or #bharat, how you are going to present it? there lies the mental maturity of the person who looks at it and the person who receives the #gyan

the concept of vulgarity is actually a man-made concept. nobody is vulgar in the animal world.
