@EnvironicsWorld Excellent! Good to know all these benefits, especially as we use a lot of kapoor in our home. Lots of love from Sujata and myself.

A vibrant painting of the end-10th cent., inner ambulatory, Brhadiswara Temple, Thanjavur. Far beyond mere optical reality, the painter conveys dynamic movement and twists of the body. Photographed by myself in 1992.

Inner balance key to strong immune system! Senior doctors worldwide are clear that inner peace is essential for a healthy immune system. It is essentially the balance within us which protects and heals us.

What a smile! Louis Armstrong sings ‘what a wonderful world’. Sheer joy on his face is magnetic. Despite oppression and slavery, the African people always sang joyously.
We could face the present pandemic with this spirit.

Indian artist has long been famous for the very human depiction of animals. This is for simple reason that these artists do not see any difference between human & animals beings. The smile on face of elephant & twinkle in his eye is remarkable

Composite Creature. All of creation is seen in a vision full of warmth. Stupa II, Sanchi c. 100 BCE.
It is time to stop being cruel to bats, chicken, all animals, trees…nature.

If we are guided daily by love, in all that we do, all will be fine in this world and there will be no new “Covid-19”, after this one.
