Indian art & design and it’s co-relation with the human mind | Seema Khatavkar | TEDxTCET


correlation with human mind and stress
management everybody close your eyes
please concentrate on the image keep
your breath slow now close your mind
you can still see the image with your
eyes closed please open your eyes with
this example
you know imagining with the
something happened to me when I first
joined meditation class I started
looking deep inside me till I reached a
point it was not just one point there
were seven points emerging with color
design and geometry the quantum leap
towards understanding the art and its
relationship with mind and body and soul
began with the understanding of the
Yetta Bramante the top wind and it means
what is outside is also inside us God
created the world in a geometry
spiritual geometry which is profoundly
used in temple architecture incorporates
many of the keys to the structure of the
cosmos symbol of the archetypal world as
a creation of God you can see the
geometry in the nature also called as
Fibonacci series let us observe the
chakra points in the human body
these are intangible energy centers
which can be mastered only in the yoga
class so don’t try to do it now now let
us understand the chakra system in the
human body
the chakra system offers a framework for
understanding human energy in a way that
integrates mind body and spirit chakra
the sanskrit word for a wheel refers to
energy vortex in a human body first
described over four
years ago in India chakra may be
conceptualized as organizing center for
the reception assimilation and
transmission of life energies each of
the seven chakra are governed by
spiritual laws principles of
consciousness and geometric design that
we can use to cultivate greater harmony
and happiness and well-being in our
lives as well as in the world now let us
understand where our mind is situated
agnya chakra the chakra situated being
our eyebrows in the sukshma sharir a–
its element being mined and Manas its
nature being command understanding and
the Faculty of thought creates conscious
mind pattern it’s the design that
influences our mind first the design
draws our mind from the externalities to
concentrate the goal such designs are
creative which expand our knowledge and
control stress real and lasting
happiness lies within us this is not
perceived because the mind is usually
completely externalized it is very
difficult for us to bring bring the
Restless mind to concentrate on a one
single goal so to control our mind in
ancient days the chakra puja was
developed the chakra puja was done as a
hunter puja but this was not easy for a
grahas star to practice for graha star
to understand his or his his or her own
reality the cultivation of symbolic art
was developed
Yama’s explained the intangible
symbolism integrated in India and
culture the body was the chief place of
worship of God forum is more powerful
than sound what the I see creates a
greater impression then what the years
here on the basis of this distinction
Indian art and culture the higher level
of understanding the values man’s
judgment conceptualization monastic
abstraction depicted in the form of
archetypes in Indian art it helps people
to connect and socialize with the higher
values so practice of Tantra evolved the
techniques to expand our consciousness
as Tantra defines rituals and meditation
acts that can be used to get the freedom
from uncontrollable recurring problems
from Tantra in three-balled intra is
nothing but a geometric design which
incorporates a specific picture or a
line that enforces the energy in the
nature as well as your own thoughts and
desires the fusion of thoughts and
philosophical concepts resulted in
symbols and rituals now let us
understand the symbols enrich how the
symbols enrich the order of our life I
have chosen certain art forms of India
to explain this how the chakra system
has been involved to enhance the human
life the iconography and visual center
of India the iconography and visual
culture has documented a vast heritage
of Indian temple architecture as well as
the science of sculpting the deities
first it seeks to make the tangible
concept of God presence through the
principles of
mitrice geometries and the principles of
depicting the deities of God’s temple
structures were bent on the basis of
chakra system within the human body
the gopura of a temple depicts the seven
chakras that are situated in the human
body so when we go to a temple we ring
the bell the Bell which is just hung
above our head
the moment you ring the bell it vibrates
ohm it activates our sahasrara chakra
ohm is the bija mantra of sahasrara
chakra so once you get activated your
whole body concentrates on the spiritual
spectrum in the temple so let us move to
the second Indian art form which
influences the human mind is the class
Indian classical dance the classical
dance involving mudras and Bundys in
window is a wonderful art form of
spirituality the practice of these dance
form develops balance in the practice
not knowingly or unknowingly the dancer
is also wearing jewelry on certain
chakra points the jewellery are made up
of gold which attract positive energy in
the environment the jewelry is also
predicted with gemstones which are
curved specifically in a geometric
design to energise the chakra system on
you can see the Sun and Moon symbol
wearing on either side of her head which
depicts or Ebay the 9 Chandra by Donna
which is practiced during pranayama the
dancer is also has a hairdo which
energizes the check reports
externally so the next art form which
influences the human mind is Indian
floor art rangoli rangoli which is drawn
in front of our house puts a lot of
impact on the mind of the one who is
entering the house it also attracts
positive energy and harmony inside the
house so whenever a person is looking at
a geometrical design it creates a impact
in his mind relaxes his mind this is how
the rangoli effects on the observer but
it puts more impact on the one who draws
the rangoli so you can understand
rangoli something that relaxes the mind
and suits us completely fourth artform
is on Indian textile so the geometric
forms and symbols are used in the Indian
textiles like ECOT bandha eagle
BOM Chi possibly to name a few the
geometric figures on the clothes put a
huge impact on the wearer either by
spiritual energy or positive energy or
negative energy so the symbols of
geometry here is also used in the
embroideries which enhances the wearer’s
our verses were not just mayor dresses
to be worn they were also depicted the
vichara of the wearer the patterns size
and frequency of pattern on cloth can
have a significant impact on the
spiritual level of the wearer
so next art form is indian painting one
of my most favorite art form for
energizing myself painting is one of the
most delicate forms art of art giving
expression to human mind feelings and
constructing creative things so Cheeta
Chitra it is derived from the word
cheetah cheetah is the last point of our
mind cheetah connects us to our
spiritual creation of the human being it
also enhances the spiritual
consciousness of a man so painting
mandalas gained popularity worldwide as
a mode of meditation through art here I
have chosen few art forms where in the
spiritual structures have been
incorporated the varley painting of
Madhu Pradesh it uses spirals and
triangles which are of course geometric
designs emanating from the chakras you
can see gone.that from maddy pradesh the
images you can search you can see the
subtle images of vibration patterns in
them and this is Lipan artwork from
Gujarat which depicts the spiritual
so the next form of art which influences
our human mind is music when the complex
harmonies are combined together affects
the human mind in a certain way music is
the most easiest form to relax the human
mind so Indian classical music is the
best example of this which relaxes the
human mind the secret to understand and
implement Indian art is through
understanding the chakra system so
Indian Indian spirituality has always
created a value to connect you with the
nature and in your and your relationship
with God to create balance in life the
secret to understand Indian art is
understanding the chakra system if
chakras are balanced well it creates
miracles Thank You Jay [Applause]
