Happy new years message for you...

Goddess Parvati is the Indian Goddess of love and motherhood. An Indian guru from the Himalayas’ who can see my past lives, my present and my future, told me i should worship her, learn from her, to become aware of who i am deep down..that's why i made this painting of her...to remind myself of the feminine in me...

*She is a lover and a mother—powerful in her own right, yet an equal partner in a marriage that combines the erotic and the sacred like no other in the tradition. Invoking the Goddess. She teaches about feminine power.*Of all the Indian goddesses, Parvati is the one who most embodies the complex possibilities inherent in contemporary feminine roles. Deity meditation is a great practice for bringing out the buried strengths of the psyche, and meditating on Parvati can bring a powerfully helpful energy to the challenge of balancing strength and softness. For men, Parvati can be a powerful link to the inner feminine.

May 2013 be about the love energy she teaches about..I wish that not only for me but for all of us...as 2013 is the year of as Tom Lescher says: this is the new era where we learn how to "prepare for (true) union (in order) to end separation"...

Tom Leschers mantra for this week sounds perfect for what i have in mind with this painting of The Goddess Parvati............ 

Mantra 

"With bold determination I rise to the occasion. 

My strength lies in knowing,

That within my heart is growing,

A deeper understanding,

Of what it means to love.”
