“Number is the ruler of forms and ideas, and the cause of gods and demons.” ~ Pythagoras
“God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant, and the cat. He has no real style. He just goes on trying other things.” ~ Picasso
During my travels I surveyed spiritual practices among many different cultures. One of the many ways individuals find their higher power is through arts and sciences. Here are a select few obervations:
Whirling Dervishes in Konya, Turkey
CERN Headquarters, finding the god particle, Geneva, Switzerland
Pythagorean Design – The Parthenon, Greece
Handel’s Messiah, Carnegie Hall, New Yor
Dancing in Imperatriz Leopoldinense in Rio Carnaval – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Origami Master – Tokyo, Japan
Magic Square at La Sagrada Familia, Barcelona
Gaudi’s Hanging Model of the Sagrada Familia, Barcelona
Ganga Aarti ceremony in Rishikesh, India
As an added little bonus, you can check out the whirling dervishes in action and Parmarth Niketan’s Ganga Aarti ceremony in Rishikesh.
I hope you enjoy them!

Isn’t life wonderful? And that Picasso quote…love it.
Way to go!
Very nice! We hope you could visit the Philippines. Our country’s devotion to spirituality will astound you.
love everything about your blog 🙂
I’ve long thought of the Arts and Sciences as the flip side to the Religion “coin.” They all attempt to define the infinite in a finite form. Thank you! xoM
Thank you for leading my footsteps to your blog. It’s wonderful to be an armchair traveller to all these places. The Picasso quote is awesome 🙂
Thank you for sharing this. The whirling dervishes video took me back to a centered space within myself that I have not connected with in many moons. Thank you again.
What amazing travels you’ve had!!
