03.12.2011 Mymensing. Bangladesh- In Bhagawat Gita Lord Krishna said “There is a banyan tree which has its roots upward and its branches down, and the Vedic hymns are its leaves. One who knows this tree is the knower of the Vedas.” (Bg 15.1) Here the material world is described as a tree whose roots are upwards and branches are below. We have experience of a tree whose roots are upward: if one stands on the bank of a river or any reservoir of water, he can see that the trees reflected in the water are upside down. The branches go downward and the roots upward. Similarly, this material world is a reflection of the spiritual world. The material world is but a shadow of reality. In the shadow there is no reality or substantiality, but from the shadow we can understand that there is substance and reality. Source -Wikipedia
“Good photojournalists are always moving. First identify your subjects then point your camera to find a dramatic angles, otherwise your photos like a blah pictures.” I recorded many times as an eyewitness. My main interest lies in documentary storytelling focusing on global issues . . .
