A Legacy Etched in Myth

Garuda occupies a prominent place in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain traditions. He is most widely known as the mount (vahana) of Lord Vishnu, one of the principal deities in the Hindu pantheon. More than just a vehicle, Garuda is a close companion and devotee, representing unwavering loyalty and the ability to overcome obstacles. Garuda's birth story is filled with intrigue. His mother, Vinata, was tricked into becoming a slave to her sister, Kadru, the mother of snakes. Garuda, born with immense power and radiant energy, learned of his mother’s plight and vowed to free her. Kadru demanded the elixir of immortality, Amrita, in exchange for Vinata's freedom. Garuda, without hesitation, embarked on a perilous journey to obtain it from the heavens, battling gods and demons alike. His extraordinary strength and determination enabled him to succeed, earning the respect of the gods. However, he struck a deal with Vishnu, giving the Amrita to the gods in exchange for his mother's freedom and agreeing to be Vishnu’s vehicle. This tale exemplifies Garuda's courage, compassion, and commitment to dharma (righteousness). In Buddhist traditions, Garuda are often depicted as powerful protectors against negative forces, especially those associated with nagas (serpent deities). Their image is often found adorning temples and sacred spaces, serving as guardians.

The Significance of Brass

This statue is crafted from brass, a metal revered in spiritual traditions for its purity and auspicious qualities. Brass is considered to conduct positive energy and is often used in the creation of sacred objects. Its warm, golden hue adds to the statue's aesthetic appeal and evokes a sense of divine radiance. Bring home this beautiful representation of Garuda, a symbol of courage, strength, and unwavering devotion, and invite the blessings of the divine into your life. The subtle details and craftsmanship of this piece is meant to inspire and elevate the soul.
