Embodiment of Divine Justice and Power

This exquisite brass statue depicts Lord Narasimha, the half-man, half-lion avatar of Lord Vishnu, in a moment of ultimate triumph. He is shown in the iconic act of slaying the demon Hiranyakashipu, a pivotal event in Hindu mythology that underscores the triumph of righteousness over unrighteousness. The image is a powerful representation of divine intervention, safeguarding devotees from malevolent forces and affirming that good will always prevail. The intricate craftsmanship of this handmade statue, originating from India, brings to life the ferocity and divine grace of Lord Narasimha. His leonine features, combined with his powerful human form, are rendered with remarkable detail. The fierce expression on his face, the flowing mane, and the muscular build all convey immense strength and resolve. The multiple arms, a common depiction of deities in Hinduism, signify his omnipresence and his ability to act simultaneously in various realms. In his hands, he holds symbols of power and divine authority, ready to dispense justice. The hood of cobras emerging from behind his head is a significant element, symbolizing his control over the primal forces of the universe and his association with protective energies. –––––––––––––––––––

A Divine Narrative Cast in Brass

The story of Lord Narasimha and Hiranyakashipu is a cornerstone of Hindu theology, illustrating the concept of karma and the Lord's promise to protect his devotees. Hiranyakashipu, a powerful demon king, had received boons that made him virtually invincible, leading him to arrogance and persecution of those who worshipped Vishnu. His own son, Prahlada, was a devout follower of Vishnu, which enraged Hiranyakashipu. Despite numerous attempts to kill Prahlada, his devotion remained unshaken, and Vishnu ultimately manifested in his terrifying Narasimha form to protect his ardent devotee and destroy the demon. Narasimha emerged from a pillar, demonstrating that the Lord exists everywhere and can take any form to uphold dharma (righteousness). This event highlights that no material boon can overcome the divine will and that true protection comes from unwavering faith. This brass statue serves not only as a beautiful decorative piece but also as a constant reminder of these profound spiritual lessons. The act of slaying Hiranyakashipu signifies the destruction of ego, pride, and the negative aspects that bind us. It represents the overcoming of obstacles and the attainment of inner peace through devotion and adherence to righteous principles. The golden hue of the brass adds to its auspiciousness, reflecting the divine radiance and the enduring nature of truth and justice. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this statue is a testament to the skill of Indian artisans and a cherished item for those seeking spiritual inspiration and a connection to the divine.

Unleashing the Power of Narasimha: The Divine Avatar of Lord Vishnu

Narasimha Dev is an incarnation of the Supreme Lord Vishnu or Krishna. He assumed a special form of half-man (Nara) and half-lion (Simha) to protect His five-year-old devotee Prahlad from the ghastly attacks of his demoniac father Hiranyakashipu. He killed the demon to prove that whoever is surrendered to His lotus feet is always taken care of by Him. Lord Narasimha is worshiped in many parts of South India and is considered an important deity in the Vaishnava Sampradaya.

What does Narasimha symbolize?

Although the form of Lord Narasimha appears fierce to the general people, it appears as beautiful and sweet as the lotus flower to His devotees. His ferocious yet transcendental form signifies His rage towards the demoniac persons who try to harm or blaspheme His devotees who are very dear to Him. The devotees always worship and remember Lord Narasimha in their minds because He is the source of all bliss and fortune and is also the cause of all causes. The Vaishnav Acharyas explain that the Lord"s killing of Hiranyakashipu symbolizes the killing of Anarthas such as lust, anger, greed, illusion, attachment, and false ego residing in our hearts. One who has taken the shelter of the lotus feet of Lord Narasimha is at once purified of all contamination which is a barrier in Bhakti.

Which day is for Lord Narasimha?

Since Lord Narasimha is Vishnu Tattva, the Vaishnavas worship Him and observe fasting from grains on Ekadashi which comes on every 11th day in the Hindu or Vedic calendar. On this day, the devotees either completely refrain from eating and drinking anything (Nirjala) or only take grain-free Prasad for satisfying their hunger. They chant the Lord"s holy names, visit temple, and read His pastimes mentioned in the Vedic scriptures. Being completely absorbed in the thoughts of the Lord, the devotees peacefully observe the fast and remain blissful. Another very important day dedicated to Lord Narasimha Dev is “Narasimha Chaturdashi” which comes once a year. It is celebrated as the appearance (His advent on this planet) day of the Lord. On this day, the Vaishnavas congregate in the temples and chant His unending glories and beg for His causeless mercy so that they may eternally be engaged in His devotional service.

How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?


Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.

 

Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.

 

  • The best and simplest way to maintain a brass statue is to clean it at least twice a week using a soft cloth or cotton rag. This will prevent dust from accumulating on the surface. Dusting is especially important for outdoor statues since it is prone to dust accumulation much more than indoors.

 

 

  • To give a natural shine and luster to the statue, you may apply coconut or olive oil using cotton on every portion. You can use a toothbrush to get to the small crevices but do not be too harsh. This will make the brass statue appear fresh and new with a polished look.


  • In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth. 

 

Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
