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

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...

Sunflower: The Luminous Axis of Art, Spirit and Contemporary Consciousness By Prabuddha Ghosh

Sunflower: The Luminous Axis of Art, Spirit and Contemporary Consciousness By Prabuddha Ghosh The sunflower remains one of the most evocative subjects in visual culture—bridging art, spirituality and lived experience. More than a botanical form, it operates as a symbol of light, temporality and inner alignment, continually reinterpreted across cultures and artistic movements. Native to the Americas, sunflowers were cultivated by indigenous communities for food, medicine and pigments used in craft and visual expression. Introduced to Europe in the 16th century, they gradually evolved from utilitarian crops into ornamental and symbolic forms. Their heliotropic nature—turning toward the sun—established them as universal emblems of devotion, vitality and spiritual seeking. In India, the sunflower resonates with the energy of Surya, embodying abundance and the eternal rhythm of life, death and rebirth. Across cultures, it has symbolized courage, longevity, gratitude and optimism. Even i...

The Unwritten Verse: Tagore’s Soul in Color and Form by Prabuddha Ghosh (Commemorating the 164th birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore)

The Unwritten Verse: Tagore’s Soul in Color and Form (Commemorating the 164th birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore) by Prabuddha Ghosh Rabindranath Tagore , fondly and universally known as Gurudev , is widely celebrated as a Nobel laureate in literature. However, what remains lesser known is his profound and unexpected entry into the world of visual art during the later years of his life. While primarily recognized for his poetry, prose, songs, drama, novels, and philosophical thought, Tagore’s foray into painting revealed yet another dimension of his boundless creativity. Although he began this artistic journey relatively late, his artwork resonates with an intensity and vividness that are both enigmatic and deeply human. His artistic expressions are far from mere historical artifacts—they are living, breathing creations that continue to captivate the contemporary imagination. Here's a closer look at why Tagore’s art remains remarkably relevant today: Tagore’s paintings ...
