Reseña del libro "understanding: inspirational drawings and passages (en Inglés)"
A Unique Journey to Understanding is a marvelous journey through the poetry and art of V.J. Kohli. A learned man with an English Honors and a Masters degree in Liberal Arts, V.J. is also presently working towards a PhD in metaphysical research. Though a student of the sciences, V.J's inspiration to create spiritually meaningful sketches happened upon him while he was nursing his father, who had been suffering from an advanced cancer. This urge lasted for fifteen weeks, during which time he created approximately four hundred sketches; stopping suddenly once his father passed away. Understanding is a creation of the highest art, born of that period in his life when V.J. was most vulnerable. This stunning collection shares what he has come to understand, and continues to learn, with people around the world. The pages are full of the enlightened poetry expressing the nature of life, existence, reality, humanity, death and the spirit. Beside each artfully crafted poem, is a corresponding sketch; conceptual in nature, minimalist in execution, and flawless in its design. Despite being surrounded by sadness and the feeling of inevitable death, the themes of the sketches are positive and of carefree abandon. Unlike other books that fall within this genre, V.J.'s ground breaking idea of pairing poetry with art is particularly poignant in helping translate to others those things in life which are the most difficult to understand. The interactive second half of the book, invites the reader to practice drawing the concepts written within the poetry themselves; clears the path for an active, enlightened, and participatory self discovery.
