Whilst recent events have shaken up people’s lives, such as the rioting and looting across the UK, the old paradigm still prevails in some quarters. Recent civil unrest was not unique to Britain, but has taken place in India, across the Middle East and many other places that never make the headline news.

The typical response from the masculine energy and male dominated leadership is to fight fire with fire. Instead of addressing the underlying cause of human sufferings, they are merely dealing with the symptoms. The unrest and behaviour is merely a manifestation of a breakdown that we are all experiencing at some level. The only difference is that in London and elsewhere, some people decided to act out the collective aggression. The rioting was a cry out from the human race that we are human BEINGS, not human DOINGS. Yet, the system will have the majority working harder and harder to just survive.

So where can we begin to learn the real lessons? The modern era has been characterised by lust, greed and the desire to acquire more. These only serve one purpose: the interests of the corporatocracy. Thus, entire governments, financial systems, education, health and economics are all about serving the corporate interest.

In the madness and chaos cascading through the planet, the most important gatekeepers to our conscious evolution have been suppressed, oppressed and even shut down –  the divine goddesses. In a bygone age, this divine feminine was revered, honoured and respected. Today, the cultural programming has led to women being used as objects of lust and merely a commercial entity.

About Romio Shrestha

Romio Bahadur Shrestha was born into a Newar family in Katmandu in Nepal. When he was five years old, two Tibetan Buddhist monks arrived at the door. They said Romio was the seventeenth reincarnation of the master Tibetan Thangka painter Arniko and they gave to him a stock of valuable art materials, explaining that he would, one day, form his own school of painting.

Romio Shrestha is a modern master of the Indo-Nepali-Tibetan Buddhist traditions of enlightenment art. Romio Shrestha’s Thangka’s can be found in many of the great collections of the world including The British Museum, The Victoria Albert Museum, London, The Buchheim Museum, American Museum of Natural History New York, National Museum Moscow, The Chester Beatty Library Dublin, The Voelkerkunde Museum Zurich as well as many private collections around the globe.

Preserving and innovating the ancient wisdom and traditional craftsmanship, Romio founded a school in Nepal in 1968 and now into the 21st century he continues to bring the world of Thangka on into the future. He is living in Ireland today and often on the road spreading the words of Dharma in the world.
