You are the Potter and Iam the clay!

Yes i love photography !
The best locations of photography in Bengaluru is Pottery Town.
Located in the middle of Namma Bengaluru.

Today we gonna explore the life of a potter.
Occasionally God places reminders in my life.
God's timing is never our timing and God's ways are higher than our ways.

Kumbhara means potter , there is a board displayed here it reads
"Kumbhara kelasa devara kelasa " means "Potter's Job is God's Job"



A Potter's house , today we explore Potter's house

After studying in christian Institution for 16 years , i remember this quote.
In Bible the words that came from Jeremiah  - "Go down to a Potter's house and you can hear my words/message there"

O house of Israel , can i not do with you as this potter , look as the clay in the potter's hand , so are you in my Hand , O house of Israel .





It is the reminder that we need to be moulded , shaped and designed by God.
If iam hard he will have to break me to shape me to perfection.
If i decide to take short cut to escape this pressure by lying and cheating - i cannot be perfect.
Yet most of us want to escape this pressure by lying , if you are being sold out then you can never get perfect.














A must visit to see the world of potters and their workmanship. After all it is the evidence of  Indus Valley Civilization
Ming Vases in China or Meiji Potter of Japan
Harappan and Mohanjodaro is the evidence of pottery culture in South east Asia including the North Asia (Japan + Korea)

He is in the process of turning his imagination into God so that your prayers reach God and your celebration sparkle.








Inside the Potter's house.



















He want to sell as much as idols as possible so that his celebrations also sparkle
The ones who make our celebrations sparkle.




A Potter's home that is brilliantly creative .
Dust ,Mud and Clay  all capturing the human imagination
Play with Mud , shape it and paint it




Expressing oneself with clay.








Clay mud and creativity.




Before you buy an Idol remember it is with the dust and fire the potter had created this Idol.
Firing Kilns generates a lot of smoke . Imagine the efforts a potter has put into this.





Art is in the heart.
Ideas lead to masterpiece.

Variety of Ganesha's for your Darshan or Darshana (In Kannada)














Where every inhabitant is a potter
Currently more than 20 Families in the potter town





The lord of Knowledge and Wisdom .



























Thou art the potter , Iam the clay
Mould me and make me ,
After thy will
While iam waiting
Yielded and still









I know the fire in the end will only enhance my beauty , iam ready for being crushed because i want you to shape me , and i will not escape this pressure by lying and cheating. Iam not scared of survival.

Explore the pressure and difficulties of life, so that you are being shaped and designed by God's hands .

He may use trails to shape you , put pressure to shape you , but let him shape you.




First man on earth was made of Dust and next by Spirituality .
We are linked to clay - God is relentlessly reshaping our lives , spinning and crushing us into a beautiful piece of art .




The kiln....The final firing of clay artifacts for drying before painting

Oh the fire , the burning temptations and trials ,
The fire lying ahead will only enhance my beauty.





Back home!




So are you ready to being crushed ? Let the God design you and shape you , dont escape the pressure through short cuts . What i meant by Short cuts was Lying , cheating ...anything that is evil.
Any short cut will only make you imperfect.

The message of the day:
Yeh Aasman , yeh zameen , kya bana saka hai kabhi koi bhi khudrath...you know that song!




Bible verses of Jeremiah



Let God Design you and shape you , because we are the most beautiful creation of God , pls remind this to yourself. Wishing everyone a happy Ganesha Chaturthi.
