Art and culture serve as the foundational pillars of any society, passed down through
generations. In earlier eras, these aspects were predominantly centered around spirituality
and a connection to the divine. However, as time progressed, various facets of life became
tainted by superficial and self-centered pursuits.

Drawing parallels with the eight principal queens of Lord Krishna, Srimati Chitralekha stands
out for her artistic prowess. In the spiritual realm, one of her primary services to Radha and
Krishna involves creating auspicious and beautiful paintings of Sri Sri Radha and Krishna,
presenting them to the divine couple.

The present age of Kali has witnessed a decline in the purity of art, music, lyrics, dance,
dress codes, and even food, as all spheres of life succumb to degradation. It is now
imperative to restore our lost art and culture to their pristine glory.

India presents a diverse array of arts, including Madhubani, Pichwai, Tanjore, Decorative, and
more, where local traditional expressions of devotion to God have been passed down
through generations. Following in the footsteps of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada, the
Founder Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), who
skillfully synthesized traditional Vedic art with realistic Western fine art, I, as a qualified artist
under the guidance of my spiritual master HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj, have taken on the
mission of creating much-needed Vedic art while keeping our tradition and culture at the
core.

Producing numerous large-sized paintings that have captured the hearts of many, the urgent
task now is to preserve and promote this Vedic art. As an artist, I humbly request, on behalf
of the artists' community, your encouragement and support in acquiring these auspicious
Vedic art pieces. Recognizing that original paintings may be expensive for the general
public, digital canvas prints of various sizes are now made available.
By purchasing and adorning your homes and temples with these prints, you contribute to the
restoration, encouragement, and support of our lost Vedic art. I earnestly appeal to each of
you to consider assisting me and the ISKCON society in upholding the principles of sacred
art.

Feel free to reach out to me for further details at +91 96198 87872 or
art.divinity108@gmail.com. I eagerly look forward to your precious partnership in fulfilling
the sacred mission of reviving our ancient sacred art and restoring its lost glory in
the society at large.

With gratitude,
Yours in the service of Vedic Art,
