Art has the capacity to awaken social consciousness and
lead a person towards spiritual self-realization. However, in the
present age art has become a slave of both commercial and political
interests. Renaissance Artists and Writers Association, (RAWA), was
founded by
Prabhat Rainjan Sarkar in India in 1958 in order to restore
art to its true role as an instrument for social and spiritual awakening. He envisioned a New Artistic Renaissance where artists and
writers would unite and inspire society to move forward in a progressive
direction.
A well designed website that features a web radio station for spiritual music and connects with several RAWA initiatives around the world. A very inspiring site for all artists and writers opening the door to creativity on the path of spirituality. It is also linked to Renaissance Universal magazine that since 1989 has been a relevant alternative voice and since 2005 it is published online at www.ru.org
