This painting is made from an original
composition drawn by Harish
Johari illustrating the two hemispheres of the brain
that represent the rational and the emotional sides of the
brain. The right hemisphere is symbolized by Shakti and
the left hemisphere by Shiva, the female and male principle,
synonymous of the rational and the emotional aspects of
human consciousness. The two hemispheres are the background
for the two figures. In the middle is shown a cobra, synonymous
of the lower brain, the reptile brain or the cobra-brain,
as it is called. Above the head of the cobra is a triangle
in which shines the pine-cone of the pineal gland. Above
the triangle are a crescent and a dot (bindu), which is
synonymous of the corpus callosum, the empty hollow space
between the two hemispheres. This painting was used as a
cover to some language versions of the Swar
Yoga Book.

of the Brain" teaching poster or read more about
