Tantra - an innermost search with artist's perspective by Prabuddha Ghosh


Tantra - an innermost search with artist's perspective

By Prabuddha Ghosh



'Who am I?' 'Whence have I come?' 'Where am I going ?' Tantra says: I am all this. Soham 'I am He' or Soham 'I am She' for 'there is no difference between me and thee'..... Sri Ajit Mookherjee (Author of Tantra Art, Tantra Asana, Yoga Art and The Tantric Way)

 


Tantra is an essential freedom, freedom from all bonding, mind-constructs, from all mind-games; freedom from all structures and of-course away from social engineering, freedom from the other.

 


Tantra is a space to belong a cosmic world to live. Tantra is emancipation. Tantra is 'On the journey towards yourself', Tantra will awaken your ability to be touched, your sensibility, sensitiveness and sensuality. All those wonderful qualities have often been forgotten... sometimes ignored too...

By accepting Tantra, we become more human, more real, more blissful and of course "more complete." We identify and can motivate our inherent sensual spirituality, we discover parts of ourselves that have remained hidden or have been reserved. With Tantra, an energy is released that is evolutionary, metamorphosed and "upwardly motivated." We can use this energy for pleasure, for achieving our worldly goals, and for aiding our spiritual evolution. Familiarity with and practicing Tantra can help a person to enjoy life to the fullest. It can help do away with guilt or fear, break down self imposed or limiting cultural boundaries, and guide us in our search for solutions, cosmic solutions. Tantra teaches us to become familiar with our mystical nature, and when we do so, our boundaries expand. We enter into new domains of awareness. We become empowered, more fulfilled, and towards more perfection to live a human life.



"Tantra is not a religion in the ordinary sense - religion again is a mind game; religion gives you a certain pattern. A Christian has a certain pattern, so has the Hindu, so has the Muslim Religion gives you a certain style, a discipline. Tantra takes all disciplines away." .... Osho

Raghu Rai: The Unflinching Eye That Framed India’s Conscience by Prabuddha Ghosh

Raghu Rai: The Unflinching Eye That Framed India’s Conscience by Prabuddha Ghosh In the long and unsettled narrative of modern India, few visual chroniclers have worked with the moral clarity, emotional depth, and sustained intensity of Raghu Rai. To speak of him merely as a photographer is to understate the scope of his engagement. He is, more precisely, a witness to India’s becoming—its fractures, its continuities, its silences, and its eruptions. Across decades, his lens has moved with a rare steadiness through the country’s most defining moments, refusing spectacle while never relinquishing the power of the image. Born on 18 December 1942 in Jhang, in undivided Punjab—now in Pakistan—Rai belonged to a generation marked indelibly by the trauma of Partition. Geography, for him, was never inert. It was memory, rupture, and inheritance. Punjab was not simply a birthplace; it was a divided consciousness. That inheritance would quietly shape his sensibility. There is, in his work, an unm...

A New Vista in My Creative Journey: Entering Digital Art by Prabuddha Ghosh

A New Vista in My Creative Journey: Entering Digital Art in 2025 by Prabuddha Ghosh A fter more than thirty-five years of dedicated engagement with photography and nearly two decades of sustained practice in digital photography, I have now entered a new and significant phase of my creative journey: the field of Digital Art. This transition has emerged organically through reflection, experimentation and encouragement from individuals whose guidance and faith have been deeply meaningful to me. In particular, I wish to acknowledge the constant motivation and mentorship of my friend and senior artist, Shri Atul Padiaji of Vadodara, Gujarat, whose encouragement gave me the confidence to explore this medium with greater seriousness and depth. Equally important has been the role of my younger brother, Shri Jayanta Khan of Kolkata, who, through his persistent inspiration over more than a year, urged me to take this decisive step and begin a new chapter in my artistic life. I also believe t...
