Embodiment of Compassion: The Green Tara Statue

Invite the benevolent presence of Green Tara into your sacred space with this exquisite brass statue. Handcrafted with meticulous detail, this representation captures the divine essence of one of Buddhism's most revered female bodhisattvas. Green Tara is the embodiment of enlightened activity, compassion, and the swift dispelling of obstacles and fears. Her serene countenance, adorned with an elaborate crown and intricate jewelry, reflects her noble status as a celestial being who has attained profound spiritual realization. The posture of the statue is significant. Seated in the lotus position, with her right leg extended, Green Tara is depicted in a state of readiness to descend and offer aid to those in need. This active pose signifies her constant vigilance and her willingness to swiftly respond to prayers and cries for help. In her right hand, she makes the *varada mudra*, the gesture of giving or blessing, extending it downwards towards the earth, symbolizing her generosity and the granting of wishes. Her left hand rests in her lap, holding the stem of a lotus flower, a powerful symbol of purity, enlightenment, and the ability to remain unstained by the suffering of the world, even while actively engaged in it. The lotus flowers blooming beside her further reinforce this symbolism, representing the blossoming of wisdom and compassion.

A Divine Protector: Mythology and Symbolism

The origins of Green Tara are steeped in captivating mythology. According to Tibetan Buddhist lore, she emerged from a tear of compassion shed by Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion, as he witnessed the suffering of sentient beings. This tear transformed into a radiant green lotus, from which Tara herself sprang forth. This origin story highlights her deep empathy and her direct connection to the suffering of the world, making her a swift and powerful protector. She is known by many names, including "She Who Ferries Across," referring to her ability to guide beings across the ocean of existence and suffering. Green Tara is particularly invoked to overcome fear, anxiety, and physical dangers, acting as a swift refuge for devotees. Her green color is associated with the active, dynamic aspect of enlightened activity, representing growth, vitality, and the blossoming of spiritual potential.

Artistic Craftsmanship in Brass

This statue is cast in durable brass, a material traditionally favored for its ability to hold intricate details and its sacred associations in many cultures. The rich, golden hue of the brass lends a sense of divine radiance and timeless elegance to the piece. The detailed ornamentation on her robes, crown, and jewelry speaks to the skill and dedication of the artisan. Each element, from the delicate curves of her facial features to the fine patterns etched into her attire, is rendered with reverence, creating a powerful and inspiring devotional object. This statue is not merely an artistic creation but a sacred vessel designed to inspire peace, courage, and spiritual connection.

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.
