Fountain of Colours in the Baroque Heart of Prague
We invite you to the uplifting exhibition of Jharna-Kala: The Fountain Art by Sri Chinmoy, where the artistic experience blends with the experience of meditation. Discover the beauty of art, that speaks directly to the heart in the magical Vrtba Garden.
The exhibition is held under the honorary patronage of Indian conductor Maestro Debashish Chaudhuri in the spirit of the universal message of the timeless Indian tradition “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,” or “The World is One Family“.
For Sri Chinmoy, the source of this exceptional artistic creation was the deep silence of contemplation, from which inner experiences welled up like a fountain, expressed through the harmonious interplay of light, forms, and colors. His artistic expression thus captures insights into the moment, through which speak his love for humanity, the harmony of life, a sense of beauty, and the pure joy of creative energy.
“His art is extraordinary and utterly unique. It is unlike anything I have ever seen.”
— Martin Kemp, Professor of the History of Art at Oxford University and a leading world authority on Leonardo da Vinci
