There are several pathways to attaining Nirvana. It is the union of Right Knowledge, Right Faith and Right Conduct that eventually leads to Nirvana.
The central multicolored figure represents a neuron; it is the memory bank as well as the source of transmission of full spectrum of knowledge. There are several categories of knowledge. Every human being has intrinsic faculty to harvest them. Each of the knowledge is assigned a specific color. Green-derived from scriptures, blue-subjective cognition, red- super sensory perception, orange- reading the thoughts of others and light yellow-omniscience. Black indicates ignorance or lack of knowledge, which pervades the human kind resulting in the cycles of birth and death.
The light background reflects the aura that surrounds the person having righteous knowledge. One must appropriately apply it to start the process of attaining Nirvana.

Inside an Indigo Books store, the word "knowledge" is painted on the wall in large block letters above the massive magazine stand. The room was very quiet despite being full of shoppers. The only sound that made everyone look in my direction was the distinctive shutter click of my camera.
Model: Cazz Walker.
Setup:
We went to the University of Kent's library and ended up shooting in the critical theory section. Istood on one of the things to step on when you need to reach the higher books. I gave Cazz a 580EX and he put it in his shirt with the head looking out, with the wide angle shield out and the catchlight thingy out as well, in oder to make sure that the light would spread nicely over the entire book and that some of the light would be bounced back down onto the book by the flap. Result: the light bounces off the book onto Cazz' face and breast, from where it bounces onto his hands and a little bit on the back of the book.
I had a friend's SB-800 to the left just in front of Cazz (hidden by the book that sticks out on the left), but it didn't fire for this shot. I used the eBay triggers from Gadget Infinity for the first time here, still with the shipped batteries, and they're not 100% reliable. Which happened to be good here, as it allowed for more ambient light to remain around the edges while I twist-zoomed during the exposure. I should have seen the potential of this during the shooting and opened the aperture a bit, but this one turned out ok so I guess it's alright.

Our Daily Challenge ... knowledge.
Books were the record of much knowledge for centuries but the Internet has had a huge impact on where we store information and how we find it. No individual could possibly know and remember everything that they will ever need to know in their lifetime but if they know how to find what they need to know using books, Internet, other people, experimentation etc. it will not be a problem.

KNOWLEDGE, WEIGHT & LUSTRE is the topic for Sunday ~ May 16th, 2021
Saraswati is a Goddess that was worshipped in the Vedic religion. She is the goddess of knowledge and all literary arts including music, arts, and speech. She is also worshipped as the Goddess of thoughts of truth and forgiving. She is mentioned in the Rig Veda as well as in Puranic texts. It was likely that She originated as a river Goddess because Her name in Sanskrit means "she who has lakes or pools". (Taken from: www.thaiexotictreasures.com/saraswati.html)

"Has it ever occurred to you, Euthydemus, ... that though pleasure is the one and only goal to which incontinence is thought to lead men, she herself cannot bring them to it, whereas nothing produces pleasure so surely as self-control?”
“How so?”
"Incontinence will not let them endure hunger or thirst or desire or lack of sleep, which are the sole causes of pleasure in eating and drinking and sexual indulgence, and in resting and sleeping, after a time of waiting and resistance until the moment comes when these will give the greatest possible satisfaction; and thus she prevents them from experiencing any pleasure worthy to be mentioned in the most elementary and recurrent forms of enjoyment. But self-control alone causes them to endure the sufferings I have named, and therefore she alone causes them to experience any pleasure worth mentioning in such enjoyments."
– Xenophon, Socrates and Euthydemus in "Memorabilia", 4.5

365 Project - Day 245
This is a Jaume Plensa installation I shot on day 99 (flic.kr/p/hMwoYn), a cold November night. We had the most amazing blue skies today (I didn’t even use a polariser for this shot) and I missed quite a few great photo opportunities later on day 245 because I didn’t shlep my camera to the Opera where we spent the evening.

After being inspired by Flicker I have decided the only way to improve on my photography is practise, practise, practise!! Today was an attempt at self portrait – and as you know I prefer to be behind the scene rather that in front! Myself will be revealed as time passes on so, what’s for my first photo?? My fave pastime at the moment is reading photography books. So for my first shot - me engrossed!! I did not realize just how difficult taking self portrait can be in regards to focus, and how time consuming it becomes to constantly set self timer and recompose etc. A learning experience today. So for my first shot – my 44 year old hand holds a wealth of knowledge that needs to be applied to real life!
For knowledge, too is itself a power.

Diwali also known as Deepavali and the "festival of lights", is an ancient Hindu festival celebrated in autumn every year.[3][4] The festival spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair.[5][6][7] The festival preparations and rituals typically extend over a five day period, but the main festival night of Diwali coincides with the darkest, new moon night of the Hindu Lunisolar month Kartika. In the Gregorian calendar, Diwali night falls between mid-October and mid-November.
Before Diwali night, people clean, renovate and decorate their homes.[8] On Diwali night, Hindus dress up in new clothes or their best outfit, light up diyas (lamps and candles) inside and outside their home, participate in family puja typically to Lakshmi - the goddess of wealth and prosperity. After puja (prayers), fireworks follow,[9] then a family feast including mithai (sweets), and an exchange of gifts between family members and close friends. Diwali also marks a major shopping period in nations where it is celebrated.[10]
Diwali is an important festival for Hindus. The name of festive days as well as the rituals of Diwali vary significantly among Hindus, based on the region of India. In many parts of India,[11] the festivities start with Dhanteras, followed by Naraka Chaturdasi on second day, Diwali on the third day, Diwali Padva dedicated to wife-husband relationship on the fourth day, and festivities end with Bhau-beej dedicated to sister-brother bond on the fifth day. Dhanteras usually falls eighteen days after Dussehra.
On the same night that Hindus celebrate Diwali, Jains celebrate a festival of lights to mark the attainment of moksha by Mahavira,[12][13] and Sikhs celebrate Bandi Chhor Divas.[14]
Diwali is an official holiday in India,[15] Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Mauritius, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Suriname, Malaysia, Singapore and Fiji.
TamilNadu
Known as Deepavali(தீபாவளி) in Tamil Nadu (தீப + ஆவளி = தீபாவளி meaning series of lights[56]), it commemorates the death of Narakasura at the hands of Lord Sri Krishna. It is believed that Narakasura, a malevolent demon, tortured common people and they prayed to lord Krishna to defeat him. The people then celebrated Narakasura's defeat with sparklers, lights and firecrackers. This celebration has continued down the generations as Deepavali. In Tamil Nadu, Diwali falls on the 14th day preceding the amavasya (new moon) in the solar month of Aippasi.[citation needed] The day begins with an early morning oil bath, wearing new clothes, bursting of firecrackers, visiting Lord Ganesha, Lord Vishnu and Shiva temples. The exchange of sweets between neighbours, visiting relations, and preparing Deepavali special sweets are traditions of the day.
Typical Deepavali celebrations begin with waking up early in the morning, before sun rise, followed by an oil-bath. The bathing tradition involves extensive massaging of warm til-oil containing pepper corns and betel leaves.[citation needed] New clothes are typically worn as a part of celebrations. After the bath, a home-made medicine known as "Deepavali Lehiyam" is consumed, which is supposed to aid in soothing digestive problems that may ensue due to feasting that occurs later in the day. Sparklers, firecrackers and lights are used extensively, much like the rest of the world where Deepavali is celebrated. Though the rest of the country celebrates Diwali traditionally on an amavasya day, Tamil Nadu will celebrate it on the preceding day, Naraka Chaturdashi. In Tamil Nadu, Diwali is calculated when chaturdashi prevails during sunrise, precisely at 4am-6am. If chaturdashi prevails after 6am it is not considered. For example, if chaturdashi tithi begins at 2:30 pm the preceding day and ends at 1pm next day, the next day will be celebrated as Diwali. Contrary to the rest of the nation, diyas are not lit on the night of diwali. Lamps are lit on the night of Karthikai Deepam, in the Tamil solar month of Karthikai.[citation needed]

Title: Petit Larousse, o los ciegos y el brontosaurio (Petit Larousse, or The Blind Men and the Brontosaurus)
Date: 2018
Medium: digital collage
This is a collaborative work by Yamandú Cuevas, Julia Cuevas, Marta Villa, Mariana Fossatti, Mauricio Planel and Marcia Albuquerque. The work traveled online between Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Playa Verde and Solymar (Uruguay). Was made using analogue and digital techniques.
As collagists, we work with preexisting material extracted from diverse sources, like encyclopedias, dictionaries, popular magazines and illustrated reference works. It is a fascinating material to work with, but specially interesting for this exhibition, because it allows us to play with the traditional senses about what knowledge is and how it is represented, modifying the classic narratives that have been used to transmit it, in different times and contexts.
Our main source of images was a Larousse dictionary in Spanish, from 1985. Like every dictionary, it follows an alphabetical order, but such order is at the same time a disorder. When turning the pages we see countries, machines, animals, plants, symbols and maps mixed in a fascinating chaos. It's like a great collage.
This work is also a reference to the parable of the blind men and the elephant. Different parts of the body of a brontosaurus (instead of an elephant) appear in each collage: the head, the trunk and the tail. In the same way that the blind men do, we perceive different parts of an unknown animal. Then it is necessary to share our individual perceptions in order to reach an agreement about what that animal is. And like the blind men in the parable, we tried, although will never be possible a single interpretation.
This work was created for the Wikimania 2018 "What is Knowledge?" Art Exhibition, curated by Siko Bouterse and Johnson.
