TALISMANS OF THIRUKKURAL | INCEPTION EDITION | DEVOTION
TALISMANS are spiritual or mystical objects protecting, healing or energising their masters. Ancient Indians practised Wisdom as a tool for certain mandalas (41, 90, 108 Days) and turned it into an Inner Talisman for Lifetimes. Thirukkural, written in 1330 couplets by the eternal Tamil poet Thiruvalluvar in the 5th century CE, is one of the earliest Indian classics about Virtue, Wealth and Love. TALISMANS OF THIRUKKURAL illustrations series is my humble attempt to extract Thirukkural's Wisdom Tools and express them through the iconography inspired by Bengal Folk Art of India aka Bengal Pattachitra.
The devotion illustration depicts a lady holding a flame (spirit) and heart (passion) while standing atop a blazing fire (challenges) with grace and devotion.
Talisman: Devotion
🔆 குறள்: இலர்பல ராகிய காரணம்

✨ பொருள்: தவம் செய்பவர்கள் மிக சிலர் என்பதே உலகில் வெற்றி பெற்றவர்கள் சிலராகவும்,
தோற்றவர்கள் பலராகவும் இருப்பதர்க்கு காரணம்,.

The 'penitents' are few The many shun such pain - 270
✨Few are successful, yet many are not because few are devoted while many are not.
