Transcriptions #10: Om Sarvesham Swastir Bhavatu
12” x 12” x ¾”
Original mixed media painting on canvas
Om Sarvesham Swastir Bhavatu was inspired by a YouTube video I came across of Tina Turner chanting this Peace Mantra with a group of children. Their interpretation was so beautiful I immediately decided to create a painting featuring the mantra.
The attached book is sewn in place above three canvas cloth panels hanging from a twig. The following words are repeated on two of the hanging strips of canvas cloth (on the right and the left). They represent the mantra's meaning.
"May there be happiness in all
May there be peace in all
May there be completeness in all
May there be success in all"
The center panel displays the text in Sanskrit. Both the Sanskrit and the English transliteration can be found on the open book. The background canvas is textured and painted. The sides are painted to match the rest of the canvas and the signature and date can be found on the side.

Om Sarvesham Swastir Bhavatu is the largest canvas I have painted in a number of years. I had fallen in love with this mantra after seeing a YouTube video of Tina Turner performing this chant. It is referred to as the Peace Mantra.
The two large panels of canvas cloth were painted and attached to the textured and painted stretched canvas. Then the book was sewn in place. The mantra appears across the back canvas in Sanskrit and the English translation is hand written across the painted cloth panels as follows:
"May there be happiness in all
May there be peace in all
May there be completeness in all
May there be success in all"
The sides are painted to match the rest of the canvas and the signature and date can be found on the side.

Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha is a Tibetan Buddhist mantra and the focus of this painting. One of the inspirations for the Transcriptions Series was the beauty of the written alphabets of ancient languages. The Sanskrit letters for Om Tare Tuttare are exquisitely beautiful.
A piece of painted canvas cloth becomes a backdrop to the homemade book sewn onto the canvas. The book holds the general meaning behind each of the words of the mantra. In effect, the mantra refers to the three stages of spiritual fulfillment.
The stretched canvas is textured with mulberry bark paper and painted. The sides are painted to match the front of the canvas and it is signed and dated on the side.
