Soul and Siva Becoming One This exquisite color painting is the work of South Indian artist A. Manivelu. It depicts the inherent oneness of God and soul and the classic view of God Realization according to Saiva Siddhata. By sincerely sustained meditation and spiritual striving, called ‘Sadhana’, the devotee reaches inward and upward to God, whose descent of Grace grants the ultimate realization of Parashivam, the personal and transforming experience of the divine Self. www.himalayanacademy.com
