The Silent Teacher

Behold the luminous form of Dakshinamurti, a manifestation of Lord Shiva revered as the ultimate guru – the teacher of all forms of knowledge. Seated in serene contemplation beneath the banyan tree, He embodies the wisdom born from silence, a concept profoundly integral to Hindu philosophy. This exquisitely crafted brass statue captures the essence of Dakshinamurti, a symbol of enlightenment and inner peace, ready to grace your space with divine presence. Dakshinamurti is often depicted as a young, peaceful figure, despite being Shiva himself, the destroyer and transformer. This youthful representation signifies the timelessness of wisdom, unaffected by the ravages of age. He sits in the yogic posture of ease, teaching his disciples through mudras, gestures, and the eloquence of silence. His posture is indicative of jnana yoga, which focuses on wisdom and meditation to achieve liberation.

The Significance of the Banyan Tree

The banyan tree that rises behind Dakshinamurti is no mere backdrop. It is a potent symbol of the universe itself. Its vast network of aerial roots reaching down to the earth represents the interconnectedness of all things, the pervasive nature of the divine. Like the branches of a vast tree, the banyan represents the many paths that can lead to the same core, which is the root, Shiva. The tree is believed to stand at the foot of the Himalayas, representing the axis of the world, the center of all creation, from where Shiva has sat since the start of time, teaching anyone who approaches him to ask for wisdom.

The Assembly of Disciples

Notice the rishis, the wise sages, seated at the feet of Dakshinamurti. Their attentive postures reflect their eagerness to receive the Lord's teachings. Typically, these sages are representative of the first wise sages on earth, sent by Brahma to populate the earth. However, they were not able to master procreation because of their detachment. Brahma cursed them into being householders, but because of their high stature, they were allowed to obtain wisdom through yoga and meditation. Even the animals around him are receptive to the divine wisdom he is giving. The small creatures are representations of all living beings on the earth, from human, to animal, to plant. All living beings have the innate ability to understand wisdom, when it is delivered properly.

Craftsmanship and Dimensions

Cast in gleaming brass, this statue radiates a warm, golden hue that enhances its divine aura. The intricate details, from the delicate leaves of the banyan tree to the serene expression on Dakshinamurti's face, speak to the artistry and devotion of the artisan.
