One of my Western friends once asked me, Why do Hindus worship Gods in Animal and Plant forms? Its because, I told my friend, Hindus believe God is OMNIPRESENT i.e., present everywhere & in everything. There is no place where you cant find God. All plants & animals are as important to them as human beings & sacred too.
Agreed, says science! All living beings on this planet are equal & play important roles in the complex systems they live in. Treating their roles in the complex webs with respect & protecting them is a must for the very survival of mankind. Because when there are no plants & animals on this planet even man cannot survive on earth.
Although there are several plant & animal forms that are worshipped by Hindus, I chose only the important ones for my painting. My painting shows Ganesha, the God with an elephant head. Blue Jay is considered in some parts of India as incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Nagaraja is the snake worshipped all over India. Hanuman is the monkey God. Tulasi (Oscimum) is a sacred plant & cow is a sacred animal for Hindus. Lord Vishnus ten incarnations include Varahavatara (varaha=pig, avatara=incarnation), Narasimhavatara (nara=man, simha=lion)-God with lion head, Koormavatara (koorma=tortoise) & Matsyavatara (matsya=fish). All these plant & animal forms are worshipped by Hindus as they are considered sacred by them
The double helix of DNA represents life which is central surrounded by a ring of chromosomes- to show that life in all its forms is sacred. Bringing science, religion & art together for the cause of conservation is my main aim in painting this picture.

Thanks, Lilalee., for your comments & appreciation. Conservation is the most important to me as a person belonging to the field of science. I took help from religion to spread this message.

Krishna: A very thoughtful sharing of the Hindu religion on the sacredness of life. I really enjoyed it, as it was educational for me. I think all medical doctors should have a deep appreciation of life. I do hate to hear doctors tell patients they have very little time to live, when often that is not the case. Lila
