Mandela The Gift of Love
Please Click On The Picture Link Below For More Information.
Description:
This work shows Nelson Mandela being crowned by Afra, the
first Black Ascended Master, with a halo with the words for love in all of the
official South African languages. This highly emotional piece displays the
respect and honouring of a great man, who has brought love and inner peace to
people the world over.
The artist had the opportunity of working with President
Mandela when he was asked to meet with the Secretary Generals office of the ANC
in 1993. Since then, he had a burning desire to give back to the man who has
given so much to the world. In this painting, Dr. Durst wanted to create the
dignity and yet humanness of President Mandela as he waves and smiles to all of
us, while being crowned with Love. The painting is called "The Gift of
Love" which is appropriate for the South African man who walked to freedom
not only onto the world stage, but into the hearts of millions.
When Afra ascended, he asked to be called simply a brother,
or frater, in Latin. And so a frater became the name Afra and the continent is
called Africa in his honour. It is so appropriate for Afra to have crowned
Mandela because of his transcendence to symbolize brotherhood and love.
