Sudi Narayan (Sw. Anand Teertha) was born in Kerala, India.
Located in the southern most part of India, the area is popularly known as “God’s own country.”
The region is also well known for its rich cultural heritage and various art forms
including murals found on walls of old temples that often represented great epics of India.
Sudi has been drawing since childhood and has won numerous state and national recognitions and awards.
Later, after moving to the United States, Sudi’s interest and passion for his unique style of art
nostalgically kept growing and he has been continuously creating artworks ever since.
Sudi lives with his wife, Nimmi and daughter, Maya in Suwanee, a northern Atlanta suburb.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

'As unique as everybody else', I have stumbled upon
my creative instincts at a very young age.
Fascinated by the spiritual wisdom of the ancient east
and later inspired by my beloved master 'OSHO',
my creativity began to take some interesting turns
resulting in what later became Meditation arts and Spiritoons (Spiritual cartoons).
In this mystical existence, there is tremendous beauty,
consciousness, joy, and celebration 24 hrs a day.
But the Mind comes in between and doesn’t allow us to see the reality as it is.
Interestingly, except man the whole existence is in bliss already!
Overwhelming beauty, mystifying experiences and heartfelt jokes,
the central themes of my meditation art and spiritoons,
seems to me be the greatest bridges to Reality
as they help one to forget the 'World',
to step outside of their complex Mind to see things as they are.

There is much more to Spiritoons than mere humor and sarcasm.
Spiritoons are aimed at transforming the viewers spiritually in a non-serious way.

If spiritoons can move the viewers a bit toward themselves,
to their inner self, in a crowded world busy with ideologies
and mechanical and often pseudo lifestyles,
my effort as an artist/cartoonist has been fulfilled.
