The connection of
Lakshmi with the lotus, a symbol of purity, beauty and divinity has been
underlined, by her floral halo, gorgeous lotuses in her secondary hands, the
floral emblem of her waistbelt, and the Kamalsana or lotus throne she is
enthroned on. Attired in a lovely saree and ornamented with intricate jewelry,
goddess Lakshmi opens her lotus eyes and smiles blissfully at the world, a
smile that enchants and assures the heart of her devotees.
Lakshmi: Embodiment of Abundance
Invite the benevolent presence of Lakshmi, the Hindu Goddess of wealth, prosperity, and fortune, into your home or sacred space with this exquisitely crafted brass statue. Depicted seated gracefully upon a lotus, a symbol of purity, enlightenment, and detachment from the material world, this representation of Lakshmi serves as a powerful reminder of the abundance that is available to us. This beautifully detailed statue is meticulously crafted from brass, known for its auspicious qualities and its ability to conduct positive energy.
Lakshmi's very name is derived from the Sanskrit word "Lakshya," meaning aim or goal. She is not merely about material possessions, but also about the attainment of spiritual goals and the fulfillment of one's dharma (righteous duty). Her presence is invoked to foster harmony, love, and well-being in all aspects of life.
The Divine Consort
In Hindu mythology, Lakshmi is the divine consort of Vishnu, the preserver of the universe. She incarnates with him in various forms, always ensuring the balance and well-being of the cosmos. When Vishnu descended as Rama, Lakshmi was Sita; when he was Krishna, she was Radha. This inseparable bond signifies the importance of both spiritual and material well-being for a complete and fulfilling life.
Associated with Diwali, the festival of lights, Lakshmi is welcomed into homes with open doors and bright lamps, symbolizing the dispelling of darkness and the ushering in of prosperity. Her worship is not merely a ritual; it is an invitation to cultivate the virtues of generosity, compassion, and gratitude, which are essential for attracting and maintaining true abundance.
Details and Dimensions
This statue showcases the goddess with the attention to detail that is common to traditional artisanship. Holding lotus buds in two of her hands that suggest purity and spiritual unfoldment. The other hand is open to offer blessings and bounty, while the fourth hand holds a pot overflowing with riches. The statue is 2.6 x 1.3 x 1.0 inches.
This statue is more than just an artifact. It is a focal point for meditation, a reminder of the divine feminine energy, and a source of inspiration to live a life of abundance in all its forms. Whether placed on your altar, desk, or any special corner, it serves as a constant source of positive energy and a beautiful representation of the Goddess Lakshmi.
