Currently I am working on illustrations for a translation of the Bhagavad Gita. More information regarding the publishing of this book will appear in this section later in 2009.
New work in progress also includes the five Buddhist Tara's, painted in egg tempra on wooden panels in icon-style, and a series of small yantra on calfskin vellum, which will have the finished option of either hanging on a flat vertical surface, or being set in a stand to allow for display/use or table top. Information regarding the gallery showing of this work will also be posted in this section in fall of 2009.`My offering of yantra, which will include specific numeric yantra to contribute in bringing personal balance based on your individual Vedic Astrologic makeup.

(Based on the Black Sect Tantric Ba-Gua)
This diagram can be over-laid over an entire property, a building, an individual room, a desk, a stove or a bed, etc. Always orient the entry into the house or room along the bottom of the chart. This means you will always enter a home or a room through one of the three possible door positions: Knowledge, Career or Benefactor positions. Orient each room in the house according to the door of the room, not the front of the house.
