Hare Krishna Mantra in Wings…

Govinda: One very noteworthy project, however, was the illustration of Lord Vishnu on Garuda.  This was one of my favorites since I am so fond of Garuda.  Srila Prabhupada described that we should show in the painting that when Garuda flaps his wings, the sound vibration of the Hare Krishna Mahamantra is “coming out with each flapping of the wings.”

This picture was done while we were with Srila Prabhupada, and Goursundar and I worked on it jointly.  I drew the Great Bird, Garuda, and the Vishnu figure, and my husband did the background showing swirling sound vibrations coming from the wings of Garuda.  It was also to be used in Back to Godhead, along with Srila Prabhupada’s elaborate description, but I don’t think it was ever printed either.
