Behold the exquisite Shadakshari Lokeshvara, a divine form of Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, embodying the sacred mantra 'Om Mani Padme Hum'. Seated in vajraparyankasana on a lotus throne, this brass sculpture radiates compassion and wisdom. His four hands are meaningfully adorned: the right holding a rosary, signifying liberation from existence; the left clutching a lotus, symbolizing detachment; and the principal hands in an adoration gesture, cradling a precious jewel. The deity's slender form, with half-closed eyes in meditative grace and a gentle smile, exudes serenity. Adorned with rich, bejeweled ornaments and intricate garments, this piece celebrates the harmonious blend of ascetic purity and worldly splendor, crowned by a detailed five-crested crown.

The Bodhisattva of Compassion

This exquisite brass statue embodies Chenrezig, also known as Shadakshari Lokeshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion in Tibetan Buddhism. His name literally translates to "The Lord Who Looks Down," and he is a central figure revered for his boundless love and mercy for all sentient beings. In Buddhist lore, Chenrezig is said to have wept tears of compassion, and from these tears, Avalokiteśvara (his Sanskrit name) was born. This deity represents the ultimate empathy and the embodiment of the Mahayana Buddhist ideal of delaying one's own enlightenment to help all others achieve theirs. ––––––––––

A Vision of Serenity and Power

The statue depicts Chenrezig with his characteristic four arms, a representation of his multifaceted ability to help beings in all directions. His primary two hands are held together in the Anjali Mudra, the gesture of prayer and reverence, signifying his devotion and his role as a mediator between the earthly and divine realms. In his upper right hand, he holds a crystal mala, symbolizing the continuous cycle of reincarnation and the practice of reciting mantras to achieve liberation. His upper left hand clutches a lotus flower, a universal symbol of purity, enlightenment, and the unfolding of spiritual awakening. The serene expression on his face, with eyes gently closed, conveys a profound sense of peace and unwavering focus on the suffering of others. He is seated in the lotus position, a posture of deep meditation and spiritual balance. ––––––––––

Artistry and Cultural Significance

Handcrafted in India, this statue is a testament to the skill and dedication of traditional artisans. The intricate detailing, from the ornate crown adorned with precious jewels to the finely sculpted robes and the decorative base, showcases the rich heritage of Indian craftsmanship. The lustrous brass material, polished to a warm golden hue, lends the deity a divine aura, appearing to radiate a gentle, benevolent light. In many Buddhist traditions, the creation and veneration of such statues are considered acts of merit, fostering a deeper connection to the teachings of compassion and mindfulness. The presence of this statue in a home or meditation space is intended to invoke the blessings of Chenrezig, encouraging the practice of compassion in one's own life and offering a visual reminder of the path to spiritual awakening. The symbolism inherent in each element of the statue serves as a guide for practitioners on their spiritual journey.

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.
