New Chellappaswami Art
Chellappaswami was one of Sri Lanka's most respected 20th century gurus. He lived from 1840 to 1915 and was the guru of our Yogaswami and the shishya of Kadaitswami. Today we received this unusual artistic depiction of Chellappaswami from a devotee who loves the paramparai and without our knowing worked for many hours using AI and Photoshop to give a fresh rendering of the Great Sage. AI art is evolving quickly as you can see. But so is art in general. If you skip to the second slide, you will see the original art which formed the basis of this new one. This old art was produced by a devotee of Chellappaswami, Tiru Ponnambalan, and is really the only image of him we have from someone who knew him.

Jai Ganesha!
Thank you Swamis for this post. Vividly remember praying at this Shrine in 2011 and 2012, which brought joy and appreciation. Also prayed at the Shrine of Sivayogaswami in Columbuthurai, Jaffna. Thank you Gurudeva, Satguru Bodhinatha and Kailasa Paramparai.
