When I started painting, I felt transported to those places.  Even, at certain moments, I remember coughing from the dust raised by the horses.  I also remember that I felt great emotion when painting Guru Gobind Singh with the falcon in hand. It was like knowing him in person.  Immediately, I felt a great love for him and his mission in this world.

“The Christians have Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel, and the Sikhs have Mr. O’Brien and the Mural in Espanola. No human being painted this mural. This man was able to do what I could never do – he accurately told the history of this world, and perfectly predicted the events of man up to 5,000 years into the future. I could never make such a prediction, for man would not allow me to do such a thing, but O’Brien quietly told the future of the whole world and then humbly left this planet. O’Brien will be known in the history of man from this time forth and books will be written on his works and pilgrimages will be made to see his murals and the power of his faith captured in paint. I am petitioning to have this O’Brien made the first Christian Saint in the Sikh Dharma.” ~Yogi Bhajan
