Sagar Upadhyay

?What makes me photograph is just the simple beauty, the brilliance of silence, the very art of light, which is an art itself, when it slides down from rays to the tree, an the shadows which dance to the notes of the wind.........the way it kisses a face, the way it sparkles into someones eyes, the way it rests on a chair, on a woman's body, the purity of nudity , the essence of femininity.........and the silence, ......................Photography gives me silence, the space, that moment which is so present in its peak of glorious beauty, the nature of existence which is ever new, ever blooming ever existing around us, It always talks to us in the language which only can be felt, and this is the bliss of having a medium in hand which sometimes can capture what the soul sees through the eyes..........I am a lover of light, beauty, woman an chair and thats what I like to photograph an try to make a poem through my photographs. ?

Amit

THE STORY OF CREATION GURU Dear Souls, Not long time ago, I have read some books and i concluded that spreading spirituality is the way of life to live in the universe. From that day i had in my mind and heart that the purpose of my soul in this lifetime on this Earth is to spread spirituality, and from that moment i think i received the message from God, the seed of creating Guru. One day, i was talking to Manasi Sose (Guru member) and she told me that i am going to achieve something next week. On Friday, next week, while looking to a spiritual site, a flash came into my mind, how would be to create a spiritual website with all the data i have been collected, to help other people who are on a spiritual path to avoid all the problems i had to face in getting answers to my questions. Because to get correct answers is a must. So by God's Grace, on 20th august 2008, i created Guru. From Art of Living (Jai Gurudev), i came to know about word Guru. The same time i was discussing to my sister and she told me about the meaning of a Guru , is the remover of ignorance! Liana, sister from Romania, was 1st soul to join and took the responsibility of helping in administrating and managing the site. Another sister, Supreetha from India (Guru member), suggested me the orange and yellow colors for the background, because yellow and orange are the colors of Guru planet (Jupiter) and Sun, in Vedic Astrology, and it will be helpful with much energy. By guidance of Almighty and his messengers souls, a remover of ignorance in form of Guru website has been created. With Luv and Blessings. OM Shanthi

Robert Prochazka

I live in Strážné, Czech Republic ( former Czechoslovakia ), in the heart of the Krkonoše Mountains. Photograph with the camera NIKON D3100 with lens 18-55 AF-S DX VR + 55-200 AF-S VR and with PANASONIC Lumix DMC-FZ45. Though my passion for the mountains long preceded my passion for photography, I have found that photography often provides the motivation to explore places I might not usually hike to, in weather I might not usually prefer to hike in, at times of day that I might usually rather be sleeping. The result is that my photography takes me to spectacular scenes I might not witness otherwise, and I hope to share these scenes with others through my photos. I love traveling and seeing new places, especially in the mountains! I make most of my photographs in remote wilderness areas, usually backpacking for many miles and oftentimes bushwhacking through the woods to explore places where no trails exist. The earth is a big place with lots of variety, but in my opinion it doesn't get much better than relaxing next to an alpine lake, surrounded by towering mountains and wide views. One goal of my photography is to record and communicate some of those moments of paradise in nature. Also more generally, I want to show the purity, grandeur and unique character of mountains and perhaps inspire people to appreciate and respect the remaining wilderness for themselves. Hope you enjoy looking at my photography and thank you for your support.
