Drawing: Vimana


  A Vimana is, in the Hindu tradition, a spiritual vehicle that ferries souls to the afterlife, or any other realms where they need to go.  There may be some mysterious connection between this myth and sightings of UFO's.

  This image just popped into my mind's eye, as artistic visions will do, and I did my best to memorize the details of it.  Generally something is lost between the vision in my brain and the sketch in the physical world, but I hope at least the idea is preserved.  I interpreted the image as a Vimana, perhaps my Vimana.  This vehicle just had an elegance and grace to it, while it's form still suggested power, freedom of movement.
