This art work is entitled Tu Kisti which in Farsi (Persian) means:

Who are you?

I have previously shown several 3D versions under this title, but for this first CD in a this new issue, I have chosen a to start with something closer to traditional styles.

Who am I? is surely the fundamental question that concerns every thinking individual. I have certainly wrestled with it for the last 30 years. Religion, philosophy, mysticism, literature, poetry, science, art all try to address this question in their different ways. I have come up with my own answer (actually I have 2 answers) which I shall offer in my philosophical system Neurosophy and which will appear on this Site in due course.

The original calligraphy in this work came from the pen of my friend, the London-based Indian calligrapher Aziz Ahmad. It transcribes in Farsi script a verse by the acclaimed Pakistani philosopher-poet Allama Sir Mohamed Iqbal (1875-1938) who wrote in Urdu as well as Farsi.

An English translation of the verse reads:

Who ar 't thou?
That the blue skies
Have opened for thee
A thousand starry eyes?
