The Bodhisattva of Wisdom and Enlightenment

This exquisite brass statue depicts Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, Compassion, and Enlightenment in Mahayana Buddhism. Revered as the embodiment of all Buddhas' wisdom, Manjushri is a central figure in Buddhist teachings, guiding practitioners towards clarity, insight, and spiritual liberation. His name, derived from Sanskrit, translates to "gentle glory," a fitting descriptor for the serene yet powerful presence he exudes. In Buddhist cosmology, Manjushri is often depicted as a young prince, signifying the pure and unblemished nature of wisdom. He is believed to have manifested in various forms throughout history, illuminating the path for countless beings. ––––––––––––––––––––

Symbolism and Iconography

The craftsmanship of this handmade statue, meticulously created in India, brings to life the profound symbolism associated with Manjushri. In his right hand, he brandishes a flaming sword, representing the cutting of ignorance, illusion, and doubt. This sharp blade is not meant for physical harm, but for severing the karmic ties and mental afflictions that bind sentient beings to suffering. His left hand holds the stem of a lotus flower, which blossoms above his shoulder. The lotus symbolizes purity, spiritual awakening, and the unfolding of wisdom, pristine and untainted by the muddy waters of worldly existence. The gentle upturned palm of his left hand, in the gesture of *vitarka mudra*, signifies the expounding of teachings, the sharing of profound wisdom with all who seek it. ––––––––––––––––––––

A Representation of Inner Strength and Clarity

Seated in a serene meditative posture, Manjushri embodies a state of profound peace and unwavering focus. The intricate details of his crown and adornments speak to his celestial nature and royal lineage, yet his expression is one of gentle compassion, inviting all to approach him without fear. This statue serves as a powerful reminder of the wisdom that resides within each individual, waiting to be awakened. By contemplating this image, devotees can cultivate their own inner wisdom, develop discernment, and cut through the complexities of life with clarity and understanding. It is an object of devotion, an aid to meditation, and a beautiful testament to the enduring power of Buddhist art and philosophy.

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.
