Art Seva - painting from the heart
Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krsna!
Dear Swami Gaurangapada and assembled devotees,
please accept my simple obiesances.
A dear friend attended this seminar last November. I find it so beautiful that devotees can utilize such a gift, and share their heart's vision.

'“Painting entails so many things – there’s paint and drawing, and drama and emotion and poetry, yes, and bringing all of that into your work.” -Dhriti dasi.
Last Kartikka, students traveled to Vrindavan from the far corners of the Earth to learn the transcendental art of painting Krishna’s pastimes in the first ever BBT Art Seminar.
Thanks to the efforts of Brahma Muhurta dasa, we’re now able to present his film documenting the efforts of BBT artists Dhriti dasi and Ramdasa Abhirama dasa as they share their realizations and consummate craft for painting Krishna’s pastimes in the unique learning environment of holy Vrindavan.
“This course is for those who would like to enter into the world of being able to depict Krishna’s pastimes-having them in their minds, and wanting to express that,” says Dhriti, as the film begins.
The film takes us, with the artists and their students, into the the heart of Krishna’s pastime places–the pastures and groves of Vrindavan – during the early morning hours, seen through the perceptive eyes of the painter.'
