A work of art is a corner of creation seen through a temperament.
-- Emile Zola. 1840-1902. Mes Haines.
It is the glory
and good of art, That art remains the one way possible of speaking truth…
-- Robert Browning. 1812-1889. The Ring And The Book.
Let the arts become
the mirror of the society and society for the arts. They are not merely for
entertainment or hobby
but it is sadhna, the worship. Understand the nature, temperament, and creation
of the artist, you will understand the truth.
Why the cultural
colors of the country are faint ? Why differences, disrespect are growing
between Guru & disciples ? Why the
roots of Indian theatre are loosing their ground, lost their hold on people?
Why the dances do not get involved in social issues?
When do the painting, art forms become a medium of Pooja? Why the country
is getting away from the arts and artists? Why?
Why? There are numerous, infinite questions which prick and set us wondering.

answers, we met outstanding artists, giants, legends of the country, like
Mrinalini Sarabhai, Pt. Kishan Maharaj, Habib
Tanvir, Mahasundri Devi, Sharon Prabhakar, Javed Akhtar, Lila Samson, Anita

inherit in their creations. Their answers bewilder & stagger us. They
