#blacklivesmatter. One World. Be the Change.

I won't stay silent as an artist/designer by profession (that is my Dharma (duty/chosen path) in Hindu Law) I fight/communicate through visuals/my design πŸ‘ŠπŸ™

Concept :

All FAITHS (symbols of every major faith). ONE WORLD. WE Together stand against racismβœŠπŸ™

Black color - #blacklivesmatter, I ask my South Asian Hindus how can you be racist towards Black people when you worship Black deities?

Lord Krishna's name in Sanskrit means "black/dark"

Goddess Kali's skin is black- the color in which all the colors merge; black absorbs/dissolves them she who destroys ignorance and removes darkness.

Lord Yama (Lord of Death & Justice) is described as tall, dark, handsome

Shani Dev ( Planet Saturn & Intelligence) is depicted as black

All murtis (statues/deities) in South Indian Hindu Temples are made of BLACK granite! - colonizers screwed up our thinking, but THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE. LOOK at the murutis, understand!

Red- The color of love, passion & anger. I love my African/ American friends. I'm very angry about the racism they have to face in this world every single day.

World w/fist - We stand together must fight injustice as one world βœŠπŸ™

Prayer hands - Seek the divine, be kind, be compassionate. Lend a hand to all those hurting/in need.

White outlining black fist - #whitesupremacy we MUST FIGHT AGAINST IT. I work in the world of art, fashion, beauty, luxury, museums, interfaith - ALL VERY WHITE. Why aren't POC given the same working opportunities?

Hindu law states in Sanskrit Language:

Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam - THE WORLD IS ONE FAMILY

Loka SamastāαΈ₯ Sukhino Bhavantu- LET THE ENTIRE WORLD BE HAPPY
