Mirror of Consciousness: Art, Creativity and Veda

Mirror of Consciousness ambitiously traverses a wide range of themes

pertaining to art, creativity, knowledge and theory. Its unique perspective

lies in its exposition of Vedic Science as brought to light by His Holiness

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and in the application of the principles of this

science to preliminary analysis of the Vastusutra Upanishad. No other

publication has examined art and theory with the same comprehensive vision.

To do justice to the topic of universal value in art and theory, the author

has delved into several areas that impact the visual arts--late

twentieth-century debates in art theory, models of historiography, new

definitions of culture and tradition--in the context of the individual's

own consciousness or simplest form of awareness. Though comprehensive and

detailed, it will appeal to those who are curious about trends in the

visual arts, the advent and impact of new technologies, and the development

of collective consciousness in our time.
