A Symbol of Power and Divinity

This striking piece is more than just a statue; it's a potent symbol of divine power, protection, and the eternal bond between Shiva and Parvati. Crafted from lustrous brass, this substantial Trishul (trident) stands tall and serves as a powerful reminder of the cosmos and the divine energies that govern existence. Measuring an impressive 54 inches in length, this Trident is ideally suited for temple installations, home shrines, or as a focal point in any space dedicated to spiritual practice. The Trishul, the three-pronged spear, is the iconic weapon and emblem of Lord Shiva, one of the principal deities of Hinduism. Each of the three prongs is said to represent different trinities: creation, preservation, and destruction; past, present, and future; body, mind, and atma (soul). It symbolizes Shiva's power over all three realms and his ability to simultaneously create, maintain, and annihilate. Holding the Trishul, Shiva is the master of time, destruction, and transformation, a reminder that change is the only constant in the universe.

Parvati: The Divine Feminine Embodied

What elevates this piece beyond a mere representation of Shiva's power is the inclusion of Goddess Parvati's image at the trident's center. Parvati, the consort of Shiva, is the embodiment of Shakti, the divine feminine energy. She is the mother of Ganesha and Kartikeya, and represents love, devotion, fertility, and strength. Her presence on the Trishul infuses the symbol of power with a nurturing and compassionate essence. It illustrates the inseparable nature of Shiva and Shakti, the masculine and feminine principles that are necessary for the creation and sustenance of the universe. In some traditions, Parvati Herself holds the Trishul and thus the embodiment of cosmic power. The integration of Parvati into the Trishul also speaks to the Ardhanarishvara form of Shiva, where he is depicted as half male and half female, representing the perfect union of Shiva and Shakti. This form emphasizes the inherent unity and balance within the cosmos, where masculine and feminine energies complement and complete each other. It signifies the transcendence of duality and the ultimate truth of oneness.

Craftsmanship and Materials

Meticulously crafted from brass, known for its durability and beautiful golden hue, the Trishul radiates with a sense of timeless elegance. The intricate details of Parvati's image, as well as the subtle curves and embellishments on the trident prongs, speak to the skill and artistry of the craftsmen. The use of brass, a metal often associated with purity and spirituality, further enhances the sacredness of this powerful symbol. Displaying this item in your space is sure to add an element of reverence and artistic beauty.

The Trident as a Metaphor for Transformation: Understanding its

significance in Hindu philosophy The trident holds great significance in Hinduism. It is a spear having three prongs and is the principal weapon of Mahadev, Lord Shiva. He is always depicted holding his Trishul (Trident) in one of his hands. The Sanskrit word Trishul is the combination of two words i.e. "Tri" meaning "three" and "Shul" or "Shool" meaning "a stake". Goddess Durga, the consort of Lord Shiva, is also sometimes seen holding the trident in her arm as one of her weapons. She killed the great demon Mahishasura with it. Some Shaivites (devotees of Lord Shiva) also carry the trident with them as a means of protection. The Vedic scriptures are so vast and detailed that they deal with all aspects of knowledge, both material and spiritual. Anything mentioned in the Vedas is not imaginary or false, it is scientific and based on the knowledge of the Absolute Truth. Hinduism is rich in symbolism and Trident is considered one of the most powerful symbols. Let us know more about the trident and know its significance.

The symbolic meaning of the Trident

Considering the Trident only as a mere weapon is an incomplete understanding. There is a profound meaning behind its divine structure.

- The three prongs of the Trident represent the three modes of material nature; Sattva Guna (mode of goodness), Rajas Guna (mode of passion), and Tamas Guna (mode of ignorance), meaning that everything and everyone in the material world is influenced by these modes.

- Some also believe that the three prongs represent the three forces of creation, maintenance, and annihilation. The scriptures mention that the material universe is temporary (Ashashvatam) and therefore it is first manifested and again unmanifested, and this continues till eternity.

- The trident also symbolizes the three planetary systems. According to the Vedic Puranas, there are three worlds within the material sphere; the lower world (Bhurloka), the middle world (Bhuvarloka), and the upper world (Svarloka).

From bondage to salvation

The Trident is seen as a subtle attack on the negative tendencies or Anarthas such as lust, anger, greed, envy, ego, and illusion. These Anarthas pollute the mind and intelligence of the conditioned souls and cover their real identity and consciousness. As a result, they forget their eternal relationship with the Supreme Lord and become engrossed in material existence. The Trident is an awakening for all the forgetful souls to seek spiritual guidance to know about the Absolute Truth.

The attack or stroke of the Trident destroys all the Anarthas within their hearts. When this happens, the person transcends the modes of material nature and is situated in pure goodness (Shuddh Sattva). In this state of existence, he neither laments for the past nor hankers for anything and remains blissful in his spiritual identity. After leaving the material body, he does not take birth again in any of the planetary systems, but rather returns to the eternal abode of the Supreme. Hence, he comes out of the cycle of repeated birth and death and is not subject to the creation, maintenance, and destruction of the material world.

This is achieved when an individual takes the shelter of a Guru (spiritual master), Shastra (scriptures), and Sadhu (saintly persons) which are the most important symbolic representation of the three points of the Trident. Thus he breaks free from the bondage of the ocean of nescience and becomes liberated.
