Divine Companionship: Lord Balaji and Maa Lakshmi Adorned on Elephants
Embrace the blessings of prosperity and spiritual fulfillment with this exquisite brass statue set, featuring Lord Balaji and Goddess Lakshmi majestically seated atop regal elephants with their trunks raised high in a gesture of benediction. Crafted from durable and lustrous brass, each piece is a testament to artisanal skill and devotion, designed to bring an aura of divine grace and auspiciousness to your home or sacred space.
The elephant, revered as Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, and a symbol of strength, wisdom, and royalty in Hindu mythology, serves as the noble mount for these revered deities. In Hindu tradition, the elephant holds a sacred place. Airavata, the celestial white elephant, is the mount of Lord Indra, the king of gods. The sight of an elephant with its trunk raised is considered a powerful omen, inviting good fortune and warding off evil. The intricate detailing on the elephants, from the ornate trappings to the delicate bells adorning their legs, speaks of their divine status and the reverence with which they are depicted.
On one elephant stands Lord Balaji, also known as Venkateswara or Srinivasa, a prominent manifestation of Lord Vishnu. He is depicted in his characteristic form, radiating divine presence and power. Lord Vishnu is the preserver of the universe, and his presence is invoked for protection, sustenance, and the maintenance of cosmic order. His form, with multiple hands holding various divine attributes, symbolizes his omnipotence and his role in upholding dharma.
Accompanying him, on the second elephant, is Goddess Lakshmi, the divine consort of Lord Vishnu and the goddess of wealth, fortune, beauty, and prosperity. Seated in a graceful posture, she holds lotus flowers in her hands, signifying purity, spiritual awakening, and prosperity. Goddess Lakshmi is believed to bestow material and spiritual abundance, and her presence is sought after by devotees for success, good luck, and financial well-being. Legend has it that she emerged from the churning of the cosmic ocean (Samudra Manthan) holding a lotus, hence her association with this sacred flower.
Together, Lord Balaji and Goddess Lakshmi represent the perfect union of spiritual power and material abundance. Their presence together signifies the belief that true prosperity is rooted in spiritual righteousness and devotion. This beautifully crafted brass set serves as a powerful reminder of these divine principles, inviting blessings of wealth, peace, and spiritual growth into your life. Place this striking duo in your puja room, living area, or office to create an atmosphere of sanctity and attract auspicious energies. Each piece is meticulously detailed, showcasing the richness of Indian craftsmanship and the depth of spiritual symbolism.
Divine Splendor of Venkateshwara Balaji"s Iconography: Exploring
the Symbolism and Significance of the Hindu Deity"s Form
Lord Venkateshwara Balaji is the presiding deity of the
world-famous Tirupati temple situated in the Andhra Pradesh
state. He is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, who took this special form just to be
merciful upon the fallen souls of Kali Yuga and save them from
drowning in the ocean of nescience. He is considered an
important deity in the Vaishnava community. He is the destroyer
of sins. Whoever approaches Him and worships Him with love and
devotion, certainly gets His causeless mercy and attains the
highest perfection of life.
Where to place Tirupati Balaji idol at home?
Lord Venkateshwara is very merciful and has come to this
material world to relieve people from the miseries and pangs of
material existence. The Vedic scriptures such as the Skanda
Purana glorify the Lord and mention the benefits of worshiping
the deity of Lord Venkateshwara. Since He is the Supreme Lord,
only by His mercy and sweet will can anyone come to the platform
of performing loving devotional service. If you want to attract
His mercy, you must bring into your home, a beautiful deity of
Lord Venkateshwara, and install it on the altar.
Although the standards of deity worship are not as strict as
those followed in the temples, there are some things you need to
keep in mind. If you have enough space in your home, you must
install the deity where there are no unnecessary distractions.
Avoid keeping it in your bedroom. However, if there is no other
option, you can place it in a corner of your bedroom.
Why is Balaji’s face covered?
The beautiful transcendental form of Lord Venkateshwara Balaji
is unique in so many ways. He stands bearing four arms holding a
conch shell (Panchajanya) and a disc (Sudarshan Chakra) in His
upper hands. While His lower arms are in different mudras to
bless His devotees. He is elaborately decorated with several
ornaments that look immensely beautiful. But there is something
very interesting about His eyes. His forehead bears a white huge
mark or Tilak known as Urdhva Pundra that covers most parts of
His eyes. The reason behind this is often given that the
devotees who come to take the Darshan of Lord Balaji cannot
withstand the effulgence coming out of His glorious eyes and
therefore the white mark or mask covers His eyes.
Where is real Tirupati Balaji and how old is the deity?
The original or real deity of Lord Venkateshwara Balaji is
established in the Tirumala Temple in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh.
It is believed to have been self-manifested. As far as the deity
is concerned, it is believed to have appeared at the beginning
of Kali Yuga, which means around 5,000 years ago. The Tirumala
temple is famous all over the world and thousands and lakhs of
devotees visit to take the blessings of the Lord and be situated
in transcendental ecstasy seeing the beautiful form of the Lord.
