Ek Onkar

The symbol ‘Ek Onkar’ – ੴ– which is in the center of this painting communicates the idea of one creator which is manifest in all of existence. The creator and creation are one entity; inseparable in the way an ocean is made up of its individual drops.

The word, Waheguru – ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ– is pronounced “Wah-hay-guru.” Wah means Infinite, hay means Thou, and Guru means Higher Self, or the Divine Teacher within each sentient being.

This is the mantra which has been lovingly handwritten minutely in the painting to portray the omnipresent Divine energy.
