 I enjoy religious art from every persuasion. The artist's passion is clearly visible at this Hindu temple. This quote was beneath the sculpture:

(Patanjali):
In the preliminary stages of meditation, the effort seems to come entirely from yourself; you keep forcing your mind to remain pointed at its object. But now you become aware of an outside force, a magnetic power of attraction which draws your mind in the desired direction, so that effort is no longer your own. This is what is known as grace.
