In this soulful episode, CJ Miller speaks with contemporary artist Victoria Tara, whose captivating paintings emerge from meditation, healing, and devotion. Raised by the Sea of Azov in southeastern Ukraine and now rooted in Miami, Victoria blends Eastern and Western traditions to create visual meditations—paintings that act as portals to inner peace.She shares the moment her artistic path became clear while participating in Kumbh Mela, the world's largest spiritual gathering at the sacred river Sangam, where dualities dissolve and Oneness is remembered. In the river, she received a vision and a word: Yantra—the ancient Hindu symbol of divine geometry. Today, she leads workshops where participants paint yantras as intentional meditations.Victoria and CJ explore the role of stillness, the symbolic power of the lotus flower, and what it means to paint from a place beyond thought. Her work invites us into the space between the sounds, where the essence of light—beyond any name—reveals itself.Art becomes the practice. The painting becomes the prayer. Visit her at victoriatara.com and on Instagram @victoria.tara.artWant to learn more about CJ Miller?

Crowds of people at Kumbh Mela religious festival. Stereo 48kHz 24bit.

"This field recording was of the crowds of people at Kumbh Mela, in Pryagraj, India. This Hindu pilgrimage is celebrated every 6 or 12 years and is the largest gathering of people on earth with an estimated 400 million people attending earlier this year (2025). The festival is located at the flood plain of the Ganges and Yamuna Rivers. The water is an important aspect of this religious event -- where the flowing water has a divine energy representing spiritual sustenance. The sound of water flowing gently is included in the background of my piece along with the sounds of the huge crowds -- the sea of humanity -- that has gathered here. Woven throughout the sounds of these people, are traditional classical instruments, like the tabla and sitar to provide the piece with a background rhythm or pulse. And then perhaps most importantly, the voice of a female Indian classical singer is included and slowed down, which to me represents the significance of each person gathered here out of all these millions.  "I lived in India for one year awhile ago, and gained a deep respect for the significance of these religious holidays, festivals, and pilgrimages for the Hindus from the friends and colleagues I worked and spent time with. In some ways these massive religious events remind me by contrast of what has been lost in our calendar year traditions in the West, where the main holidays are simply opportunities to go shopping and buy stuff that no one needs. I appreciated the opportunity to work with this field recording of this year's Kumbh Mela pilgrimage, as a reminder of the importance of honouring my own family and cultural heritage, and of the importance of understanding that everyone has a place in the wonderful and awe inspiring varieties of cultures from around the world."

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 4th of March and here are the headlines.Supreme Court Discharges Man Accused of Hurting Religious SentimentsThe Supreme Court has discharged Hari Nandan Singh, who was accused of hurting the religious sentiments of a government official by calling him “miyan-tiyan” and “Pakistani.” While the Court acknowledged the remarks were in poor taste, they did not meet the threshold of the alleged offence. The court overruled the Jharkhand High Court's decision to proceed with the case, emphasizing that the statements did not qualify as an offence under Section 298 IPC.Rajeev Chandrasekhar Criticizes Asianet News' Maha Kumbh RemarksBJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar condemned remarks made on the Maha Kumbh by the Malayalam TV channel Asianet News, which he owns. In a Facebook post, he reminded the channel's management that "faith is important for every Hindu." The controversial remarks were made during the program Cover Story, aired on March 1, which allegedly mocked Keralites attending the Kumbh Mela and taking a dip at the Triveni Sangam.Maharashtra MLA's Son Detained After Argument Over DrivingAbu Farhan Azmi, son of Maharashtra MLA Abu Azmi, was detained by Goa police after an altercation with two locals over driving behavior in North Goa's Candolim. Azmi and the two locals, Zeon and Joseph Fernandes, were detained for disturbing the peace. The argument reportedly started when Azmi's vehicle, a Mercedes SUV, made a lane change without signaling. The incident, which occurred near Newton Super Market, led to public complaints, but all involved were later released after police formalities.Odisha Man Kills Parents and Sister in Fit of RageA 22-year-old man allegedly killed his parents and sister in Odisha's Jagatsinghpur district by striking them with a heavy stone early Tuesday. The accused, who had been under severe stress due to family arguments, told police his father had assaulted him, accusing him of drug use. He said his father had broken his tooth during the altercation. Police believe the killings occurred in a moment of anger triggered by these ongoing family tensions.Trump's Tariffs Trigger Trade War with Canada and MexicoNew 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico and a 20% tariff hike on Chinese goods have sparked trade tensions between the US and its top three trading partners. Canada quickly retaliated, announcing tariffs on $20.7bn worth of US goods, with further measures planned if Trump's tariffs remain. China also imposed additional 10%-15% tariffs on US imports, alongside export restrictions on US entities, escalating the trade conflict. These tariffs came into effect immediately, adding strain to global trade.Trump Orders Pause in Military Aid to UkraineUS President Donald Trump has ordered a temporary pause in military aid to Ukraine following a confrontation with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House. The pause affects US military equipment not yet in Ukraine, including weapons in transit to Poland. While the halt is described as temporary, it reflects growing tensions between the two countries. US officials indicated that the pause would continue until further decisions are made about Ukraine's commitment to peace talks with Russia.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by the Indian Express.

Dans la baie de Salvador de Bahia au Brésil, les Saveiros voguent toujours. Mais ils sont les derniers voiliers traditionnels en bois, à acheminer des matériaux de construction vers des rives difficilement accessibles. Ils ne sont plus qu'une dizaine à convoyer pierres, graviers et sable, à la force du vent. Ils étaient plus d'une centaine, il y a environ 60 ans, approvisionnant Salvador, la capitale régionale en produits agricoles.Routes et ponts ont eu raison de ce trafic. Et, au désintérêt général, s'ajoute l'impossibilité pour les charpentiers de marine de trouver les arbres nécessaires à l'entretien des bateaux.► « Brésil : le transport de marchandises en voilier traditionnel, à bout de souffle », un Grand Reportage de Quentin Bleuzen.

'The Kumbh Mela—a congregation for spiritual cleansing of the soul, where taking a dip in the holy waters is believed to wash away sins and bring people closer to the divine—is something that should stand beyond politics.
