Divine Serenity: Vishnu Under the Naga King

This exquisite brass statue captures the serene and cosmic posture of Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, as he rests upon the divine serpent, Sheshnag. Vishnu, with his four hands, embodies balance and omnipresence. In his upper right hand, he holds the Sudarshana Chakra, a celestial discus symbolizing cosmic order and the power to destroy evil. His upper left hand gently holds a conch shell, the Panchajanya, which represents the primordial sound of creation and the awakening of consciousness. The lower right hand is raised in Abhaya Mudra, offering protection and reassurance to devotees, dispelling fear and ignorance. His lower left hand rests gracefully upon his knee, conveying a sense of divine repose and inner peace. The artistry of this sculpture is evident in the meticulous detail. Lord Vishnu is seated in a meditative pose, embodying tranquility amidst the vastness of existence. He is adorned with regal ornaments, reflecting his divine status as the supreme being.

The Cosmic Serpent: Sheshnag's Embrace

Encircling and supporting Lord Vishnu is Sheshnag, also known as Ananta, the primordial serpent, representing infinity and eternity. Sheshnag's multiple hoods fan out majestically, forming a protective canopy over Vishnu. The serpent’s coiled body serves as a divine couch, signifying Vishnu's transcendence over the material world. In Hindu mythology, Sheshnag is said to cradle the entire universe and is believed to sing the glories of Vishnu. He is often depicted with a thousand heads, though here he is shown with five, each rendered with a distinct expression and detailed scales. The scales of the serpent are intricately etched, adding a tactile dimension to the visual splendor. This iconic imagery of Vishnu resting on Sheshnag is deeply rooted in Vedic traditions. It symbolizes the eternal cycle of creation, preservation, and dissolution, with Vishnu as the constant, unwavering force at the heart of it all. This representation also signifies the union of consciousness (Vishnu) and primal energy (Sheshnag), a fundamental concept in Hindu cosmology.

A Testament to Craftsmanship

Crafted from high-quality brass, this statue possesses a timeless allure and a rich, lustrous finish that will only deepen with age. The warm golden hue of the brass evokes a sense of divine radiance and sanctity. The solid construction ensures its durability, making it a cherished heirloom for generations to come. Whether placed in your home altar, meditation space, or as a centerpiece in your living room, this statue serves as a powerful reminder of divine protection, cosmic balance, and the enduring quest for spiritual peace. It is a piece that resonates with deep spiritual significance and artistic excellence.

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.

Sheshnag: The Divine Vehicle of Lord Vishnu and its Symbolic Significance

According to the Vedic scriptural injunctions, Lord Vishnu is the Supreme Lord, the protector of all living entities, and the cause of all causes. Just like the pastimes and names of Lord Vishnu are transcendental, His form is also transcendental, above and beyond the three modes of material nature. He bears four hands that carry a lotus flower, a conch shell, a discus (the Sudarshan Chakra, and a club. Although Lord Vishnu is above the effects of the three modes of material nature, He is the predominating deity of the mode of goodness (Sattva Guna) and thus maintains the entire material world.

Which snake does Lord Vishnu sleep on?

You may have seen the beautiful images, deities, and paintings of Lord Vishnu portrayed as reclined on a coil of the body of a big snake in the middle of the ocean of milk (Ksheer Sagar). It has multiple hoods spread across the entire body of the Lord, giving Him all protection. This snake is not an ordinary one but is the eternal servitor of the Lord and is called Sheshanag or Anantashesha. Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious activities and a predominant increase in irreligiosity, the Lord appears to re-establish the principles of Dharma. But He does not come alone. He comes with His eternal associates that serve Him in different forms of loving exchanges in Vaikuntha. For example, when Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, appeared on the earth in Dwapar Yuga, Sheshanag came in the form of Lord Balaram with him.

What does Vishnu sculpture symbolize?

As stated by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita, He appears in the material world to protect His devotees and to kill the miscreants. The Lord is very merciful to every living entity but those who have taken His shelter and engage in His loving devotional service are especially taken care of by Him. The devotees worship and serve the deity of the Lord with all their hearts. In this way, they develop genuine affection and love for the Lord. The Lord being situated in the hearts of all living entities as Supersoul (Paramatma), also reciprocates with His devotees and gives them the highest form of bliss. The deity of the all-powerful and all-merciful Lord Vishnu is the symbol of purity and love. It is not just a piece of stone, metal, or wood, but is the Lord Himself.

What is the power of Sheshnag?

The Vedic scriptures mention that Sheshnag is the immediate expansion of Lord Vishnu who serves Him with pure devotion. The Acharyas in the path of Bhakti also explain that Sheshnag represents the Guru Tattva. Without the mercy of Guru, the living entity cannot attain the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord. Sheshnag comes in the form of Balaram or Lakshman in the pastimes of Lord Krishna and Lord Ram respectively. Without pleasing Balaram, one cannot understand the nature of Lord Krishna, or without pleasing Lakshman, one cannot know Lord Ram. Similarly, if one wants to serve Lord Vishnu, the mercy of Sheshnag is needed. When it is achieved, Lord Vishnu, without any delay, accepts even a fallen soul and gives Him liberation from all kinds of suffering. Such is the power of Sheshnag.
