Symbolism and Artistry

This depiction is rich with symbolic meaning. The figure is crowned by a multi-headed serpent, a powerful representation of Kundalini energy – the dormant potential within us all. This coiled serpent, depicted enveloping the lower part of the body, is said to symbolize the transformative power that lies at the base of the spine, awaiting awakening through yogic practices. The upper pair of arms hold a chakra (wheel) and a conch shell, embodying the symbols of Vishnu – knowledge and the cosmos. In the main arms, he holds his hands in a position of prayer and mindfulness, known as "Anjali Mudra." The arch above the sage is ornate in its detail.

A Legacy of Knowledge

Patanjali's contributions extend beyond yoga. He is also credited with works on Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, and grammar. His teachings highlight the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. By placing this piece in your home, studio, or meditation space, you not only invite serenity but also honor the intellectual and spiritual legacy of a true visionary. It will serve as a visual reminder of the importance of self-awareness, discipline, and the pursuit of holistic well-being. This hand-crafted sculpture measures 8.2 x 5.5 x 2.0 inches.
