Devotion Drawing

Devotion is an original graphite drawing of Sri Anandamayi Ma. Mataji is in a contemplative, reverent pose with palms pressed. Lisa Prajna Hallstrom refers to her as one of India's great female saints. Sri Anandamayi Ma left her body in 1982, several months after I was born, so I've never had an opportunity to receive her darshan (which roughly translates as a viewing of a holy person, face-to-face). That said, studying photographs of Mataji has invited her Presence into my daily life. I've found that the process of drawing her has allowed me to spend "time" with her. The experience has brought a seeming sense of vitality to the representation of her physical form. It's been a gift to create. I trust the energy of the piece will serve as a reminder of her loving Presence to all those who encounter it. As recounted in Alexander Lipski's The Essential Sri Anandamayi Ma: Life and Teachings of a 20th Century Indian Saint, Mataji once said, "Whether one takes the path of devotion, where the 'I' is lost in the 'Thou', or the path of Self-Inquiry, in search of the true 'I'--it is He alone who is found in the "Thou" as well as the 'I'." This drawing on paper comes unmatted, unframed, and ready for your personal decorative touches.
