Glacier National Park, 2021

Art&Ode is a result of a lived experience – a healing journey that began with the birth of my daughter who has motor and a vision impairment, making her an auditory learner. Over the years, my search and research for solutions in cutting-edge medical world and life sciences, made me progressively convinced of a path more ancient and pure – Vedic science.

When COVID hit and we couldn’t go out, it made us go inward. Kirtans, candles and listening to Vedic mantras with my daughter became a ritual and it was transformative – What a beautiful, ancient and simple human science that nobody talks about – Audition, olfaction and vision, all three senses working at a deep level, healing, manifesting, disseminating and metaphysically transforming us inside out.

It’s been a profound, personal experience that I’m compelled to share through our candles that are diligently prepared, with devotion, to serve a purpose. Each one going through a tika and a mantra recitation ceremony before it’s sealed and shipped to their new home.

“Yatha Pinde Tatha Brahmande, Yatha Brahmande Tatha Pinde” – Yajur Veda.
(As is the human body, so is the cosmic body, as is the cosmic body, is the human body.)

Om shanti, shanti, shanti.
