Copy of the painting by N. K. Roerich. Mother of the World

She covered her face. Weaving the yarn of distant worlds. Messenger of the unspeakable. Lady of the uncaught. Lady of the unsubmitted!

By your order the ocean falls silent and the whirlwinds cause the features of invisible signs … She, having covered her face, will stand guard alone, in the radiance of the signs. And no one will climb to the top. No one will see the radiance of the twelve-symbol of her power. Of the spirals of light, the sign was woven itself in silence. She is a driver going for a feat. The four corners, the sign of affirmation, was revealed by her as parting decision …

The order is silent, all-pervading, irrevocable, indivisible, not rejected, dazzling, generous, indescribable, non-repeatable, intact, indescribable, untimely, urgent, igniting, revealed in lightning. "

But the star wreath in this shining galaxy of warriors for the ascent of mankind belongs to the woman. Roerich glorifies the Mother of the World - the highest aspect of the mother of humanity and the feminine, which he called the creator of the heroes of humanity.
The most remarkable picture in this cycle is The Mother of the World (1924). At an unattainable peak, covered by the azure of an unlimited starry sky, in the circle of the light of its all-encompassing radiance, with its face closed (this means, according to Eastern legend, that the feminine principle on earth is not yet balanced with the masculine one), It blesses the world.
This picture echoes the Roerichs fresco Queen of Heaven in a church in Talashkino, where the Mother of the World also prays for peace and the rebirth of mankind.
