“Bhasam” (Destruction of Ego)

“Bhasam” is the sacred fire that reduces the ego to ashes, revealing the eternal Self beneath. The painting evokes the purification that arises when pride, attachment, and illusion are consumed in the flame of divine wisdom.
The Gita teaches that the destruction of ego is liberation, where the small self dissolves and the infinite shines. Each stroke is a reminder that only when the ego burns can one awaken to true consciousness.
“Bhasam” inspires surrender, humility, and recognition of the eternal, allowing the soul to rest in unbounded light.
Bhagavad Gita Reference:
“यथैधांिस सिमद्धोऽिग्नभर्स्मसात्कु रुतेऽजुर्न।
ज्ञानािग्नः सवर्कमार्िण भस्मसात्कु रुते तथा।।”
(Chapter 4, Verse 37)
Meaning: Just as fire reduces wood to ashes, so does the fire of knowledge burn all actions to ashes, purifying the soul.
