Vannakkam Ted: Welcome to these forums. That kind of search is tough. If you know anything about it at all, try googling. Suggestions might be Dakshinamurthy, or Balaji or Yogi along with the word painting. I wish you luck. You can also probably copy it to a disk, and take it in to a decent photo place and get a poster made for a few bucks. There's also the chance the artist is some humble being not wishing to have his name on it.

namaste Ted.
Welcome to HDF. Since this image appears in the "Dungeons and Dragons" community forum at http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?p=2308072, could it be part of a computer game?

To her whose feet are washed by the ocean, who wears the Himalayas as her crown, and is adorned with the gems of rishis and kings, to Mother India, do I bow down in respect.

Namaste Ted,
This picture was actually drawn by an ISKCON artist Pariksit Dasa for the Bhagavad Gita As It Is. It is called The Mystic Yogi Leaves His Body. It relates to Chapter 8 verse 25:
The mystic who passes away from this world during the smoke, the night, the fortnight of the waning moon, or the six months when the sun passes to the south reaches the moon planet but again comes back.
You can order a print from www.krishna.com
Hope this is of help to you.
What is the most amazing thing in the world? That at every moment we are surrounded by evidence of death and yet we behave as if we will live forever! - Mahabharata
Namaste All,
I think this picture means Yogi is attending Moksha
