Pictures depicting Balakbhav (Part 1)

‘A single picture can convey what 1000 words cannot’. This book takes it a step further where each picture in this book not just conveys a beautiful experience but also invokes a spiritual emotion or bhav in the reader. Each one of us may have a different relation with God where we experience God, either as a best friend, as a Guide/Guru, as a mother, as our own child, etc. The pictures drawn in this book by SSRF’s lady seeker Mrs. Uma has portrayed God as all encompassing, as a mother, father, protector, guide, friend, and all other possible relations through the innocent eyes of a 3 years old girl. Her experiences with God, her expressions, and her emotions have been so aptly captured and it captivates the reader to experience the same emotions the little girl goes through. The beauty of this book lies in the fact that the author Mrs. Uma is not a formally trained artist, but due to regular spiritual practice, her emotions and love for God translates into the pictures she draws. Another important message this book conveys is how we all in reality are like 3 years old children of God and God takes complete care of us. Our faith in God should be as undeterred and sincere as a 3 years old trust.
