I resonate with the moon,
I resonate with her moonlight.
A reflection from the sun,
A reflection of his sunlight.
Together they are,
ਏਕ ਜੋਤਿ ਦੁਇ ਮੂਰਤੀ
One light in two beings.
chand-jyot is an exploration of digital meditations, and the moon. This is the same moon that stood above Guru Gobind Singh at Chamkaur, this is the same moon that we stand under today. Imagine the stories she has to tell, imagine this blessed joon (lifeform) of hers.
The Chand (moon) was in full bloom when we celebrated the first time our world felt Guru Nanak’s jyot (gurpurab). The moonlight was shining through the Darbar and a strong urge welled within me to finish Sukhasan and Ardaas in the darkness and moonlight. I left Darbar with a quiet calling to do a m(edit)ation on this. As I was doing it, the lens flare and crescents became a symbol (co)incidentally:
The Gajgah. A shastar worn by the Akali-Nihangs on their Dastar Bunga (turban fortress) depicting extreme gallantry and valour. Literally means grappler of elephants, thought to have been worn in ancient times as an emblem of distinction by powerful warriors - Reference: Warrior Saint: 4 Centuries of Sikh Military History (Vol. 1)
