A solo exhibition by renowned artist Prof. Sunil Tambe, Principal of S.S.V.P.S. School of Art, Dhule, has been organized at the prestigious Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai, from April 1 to April 7, 2025. This exhibition is based on the theme “Saathidar: Timeless Spiritual Longing, the Modern Woman, and Devotion.”
This show was inaugurated on 1st April 2025 by Prabhakar Kolte(eminent artist) in the presence of Kanwaljit Singh(veteran actor), Prakash Bal Joshi, Dolly Thakore, Dr. Sanjay Bhide, Vinay Patil, Vinod Bhadane, Shyambabu Naidu among others.
The exhibition explores the idea that Krishna is not just the ultimate goal of our spiritual journey—he is also our eternal companion. When one is immersed in devotion, an unbreakable attraction towards him arises. The soul longs to see him, to be near him, and to merge into his divine embrace. However, Krishna is not easily perceived by our physical senses; he is entirely spiritual, while our minds remain entangled in worldly attachments. Only through genuine devotion can we transcend to a higher spiritual state and experience his divine presence.
This idea is beautifully expressed in the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 18, Verse 61):
“Ishvarah Sarvabhutanam Hriddeshe Arjuna Tishthati |
Bhramayan Sarvabhutani Yantrarudhani Mayaya ||”
“The Supreme Lord resides in the hearts of all beings, O Arjuna, and directs their wanderings according to their past karma, as if they were mounted on a machine made of material energy.”
Krishna is never far from us; he resides within our hearts, guiding us, waiting for us to turn towards him with devotion and surrender.
From Meera Bai to modern women, the eternal longing for Krishna has remained unchanged. The devotion that once illuminated Meera Bai’s heart still flows in the hearts of young women today. Krishna’s love is beyond the boundaries of time, and so is the longing for him.
Through his paintings, Prof. Tambe has beautifully expressed this eternal devotion. His artworks illustrate that just as Meera Bai was completely immersed in Krishna’s devotion, the modern woman too experiences the same spiritual longing today. The emotions in her eyes, the devotion that permeates her entire being—these paintings are not mere visual representations but profound spiritual experiences brought to life through art.
