EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Departure of Prince Siddhartha" takes us back to the ancient world of Hindu and Buddhist mythology. This illustration, featured in the first edition of "Myths of the Hindus and Buddhists" by Sister Nivedita and Ananda Coomaraswamy in 1913, beautifully depicts a significant moment in history. In this scene, we witness Prince Siddhartha embarking on his transformative journey towards enlightenment. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring life to the image as we see him bidding farewell to his loved ones before setting off into the unknown. As he mounts his faithful steed Kanthaka, a sense of determination radiates from Siddhartha's face. The cloud-like backdrop symbolizes both mystery and spiritual awakening, hinting at the profound impact this departure will have on humanity. This depiction captures not only a physical departure but also an emotional one – it marks the beginning of Gautama Buddha's quest for truth and ultimate liberation from suffering. Through this image, we are reminded that even great leaders must leave behind their familiar surroundings to embark on extraordinary journeys that shape their destinies. Abanindranath Tagore's masterful artwork transports us into this pivotal moment in history when a prince becomes a mendicant monk destined to become one of Buddhism's most revered figures. It serves as a powerful reminder that sometimes departing from our comfort zones is necessary for personal growth and transformation.
