The Divine Boar: A Symbol of Cosmic Preservation

This exquisite brass figurine captures the awe-inspiring Varaha avatar of Lord Vishnu, a divine manifestation that signifies protection, strength, and the relentless victory of good over chaos. In Hindu mythology, Varaha, the cosmic boar, descended to Earth in its time of greatest need. The demon Hiranyaksha had plunged the Earth, personified as the goddess Bhudevi, into the cosmic ocean. It was Varaha, with his immense power and unwavering determination, who dived into the primordial waters to rescue her, symbolizing the universe's rescue from utter destruction. This particular depiction adds another layer of divine grace, as it portrays the goddess Lakshmi, the bestower of wealth and prosperity, seated serenely on Varaha's lap. This juxtaposition highlights not only the protective aspect of the avatar but also the auspicious blessings and material well-being that accompany divine intervention.

Craftsmanship and Symbolism

Handmade with meticulous attention to detail, this brass sculpture is a testament to the artisanal skills passed down through generations. The rich, golden sheen of the brass evokes the divine radiance of the gods. Varaha's powerful form is depicted with the characteristic boar's snout, a symbol of his earthy strength and ferocity in battle. His hands are adorned with symbolic objects, often representing his divine powers and divine weapons. The serene presence of Goddess Lakshmi, adorned in her characteristic attire, adds an element of gentle divinity and nurturing grace. The intricate patterns and textures carved into the brass bring the figures to life, imbuing them with a sense of spiritual gravitas and artistic beauty. This piece is not merely decorative; it serves as a potent reminder of the cosmic balance and the divine forces that safeguard existence.

A Sacred Adornment for Your Home

Bringing this representation of Lord Vishnu as Varaha and Goddess Lakshmi into your home is an invocation of protection, prosperity, and spiritual harmony. It is believed that the presence of such deities can ward off negativity and invite auspicious energies. The compact size makes it an ideal addition to any altar, bookshelf, or tabletop, serving as a constant source of inspiration and a beautiful focal point for contemplation. Whether you are a devout follower or an admirer of exquisite religious art, this handmade brass figurine offers a unique connection to the profound narratives of Hindu cosmology, a tangible piece of divine blessing for your personal space.

The Divine Boar Incarnation: Varaha and His Significance in Hindu Mythology

Varaha Dev is the white Boar incarnation of Lord Shri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Whenever there is a discrepancy in the religious principles followed by the living entities in the material world, the Lord advents and re-establishes religiosity and kills the miscreants. He is the maintainer of the entire universe and comes personally to protect His devotees from great difficulties. The devotees of the Lord always remain engaged in His devotional service and thus experience the highest form of spiritual bliss.

Which demon was killed by Varaha?

The pastime of Lord Varaha killing a demon is elaborately mentioned in the third Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam. There were two demoniac brothers named Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha, the sons of Kashyap Muni. They bore uncommon bodily features and thus flaunted their supremacy everywhere. Their bodies grew just like mountains, touching the sky, and they blocked the view in all directions. The demon Hiranyaksha once upon a time exploited enough gold from the earth, causing it to go out of orbit. The planet then fell into the causal ocean. Seeing this, Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe, was thinking about how to lift the earth from the ocean. He prayed to the Supreme Lord, who then took the form of a small white boar and came out from his nostril. He then grew taller and taller and looked like a gigantic elephant. The Lord dived into the ocean and took the earth on His tusk and lifted it. He then looked at the Hiranyaksha demon with His eyes full of rage and killed him in the water.

What does Varaha symbolize?

The word Varaha is a Sanskrit term that translates into “Boar”. The Acharyas in the path of Bhakti explain that the Supreme Lord took the form of a boar to exhibit His extraordinary potency and to show that out of love and care towards His devotees, He can assume any form to carry out the purpose of relieving them from the danger of demons or non-devotees. The special form of Varaha Dev symbolizes the victory of righteousness over evil. The Lord never fails to reciprocate with His devotees who remain always absorbed in His thoughts.

Although the Supreme Lord Krishna took the form of a boar, it is not to be mistaken as a material form that eventually perishes. The Lord is eternally situated in His spiritual form which is full of bliss and knowledge. When Lord Varaha Dev defeated Hiranyaksha and killed him, He returned to His own abode in the spiritual abode. All the demigods, knowing that no one is equal or greater than the Lord, offered their respectful obeisance to Him and sang His glories.
