Murals found at the East Side gallery, on the Berlin Wall.

"Seven stages of enlightenment" - by Indian artist Narendra Kumar Jain, shows a mystical tantra derived from Indian philosophy, symbolising liberation from ignorance and ways to overcome barriers and reach enlightenment, while evoking unity and wholeness.

  2. That is what art can be. An important teacher and healer. You shared important murals today. Thank you, Sami. Is from the youth outreach house of Waikiki. Many run away youth come to the tourist district where there are people to identify and assist them. Wishing you a blessed weekend and week ahead!

  7. You didn’t say explicitly where these murals are, but I suspect they are from your trip to Germany. Very neat. And thanks for hosting.

  9. I liked the statement that the artist painted over the wall of shame. This certainly is colorful, as is the other mural with the third eye.

    1. Thanks Pat. I'll look under spam, unfortunately I'm getting a lot of regular readers comments going to spam, and then real spam getting published!
