Welcome to The Art of Dharma
The legends of Hinduism and the eternal battle between
Dharma and Adharma are brought to the modern age of story-telling, with compelling visual imagery.
Born in India, C.V. Sastry is a Yorkton resident whose work delves into the profound depths of Hindu
philosophy, mythology, and spiritual symbolism.
A Bridge Between Mythology and Modernity
From Hanuman’s first meeting with Ravana—portrayed as a clash of power and righteousness—to his eight Siddhis, showcasing the original superhero with divine abilities, each artwork is a gateway
to understanding the depth of Sanatana Dharma. The works also draw parallels to the modern world, shedding light on contemporary ethical dilemmas, leadership, and the pursuit of knowledge.
One of the defining themes of this work is the scientific and philosophical depth of ancient Indian thought.
The depiction of Hanuman leaping toward the Sun transforms into a metaphor for
seeking wisdom, battling ignorance, and overcoming obstacles in the path of enlightenment. Similarly, the ascent to heaven and descent to hell showcase karma, choice, and the consequences of human action, reminding us of the intricate moral framework embedded in Hindu philosophy.
The works emphasize how Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism) is not a set of imposed rules but a universal order, a guiding principle of righteousness that applies to all beings, beyond time and space.
