A Divine Illumination: Lord Ganesha with Devi Parvati and the Auspicious Trishul

Invite the blessings of wisdom, prosperity, and new beginnings into your home with this exquisite brass wall hanging lamp. This handcrafted piece is not merely a decorative item but a sacred emblem, embodying the revered deities of the Hindu pantheon and symbolic elements of immense spiritual significance. At its heart sits Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed god, known as the Remover of Obstacles and the patron of arts and sciences. His gentle yet powerful presence radiates an aura of peace and auspiciousness, making him a beloved deity for all. The artistry in this lamp is evident in every detail. Lord Ganesha is depicted in his classic seated posture, a serene expression gracing his countenance. His large ears, symbolic of his ability to listen intently, and his trunk, often depicted in a curve that resembles the sacred Om symbol, are rendered with meticulous care. He holds his divine attributes, signifying his mastery over various aspects of life. Flanking Lord Ganesha are the graceful forms of Devi Parvati, the divine mother, consort of Lord Shiva. Her presence signifies strength, fertility, and maternal love. The flanking figures represent her as powerful divine beings, their serene faces and ornate headdresses adding to the overall grandeur of the piece. Together, Ganesha and Parvati embody the essence of family, protection, and nurturing, making this piece a focal point of devotion and positive energy. ––––––––––––––––––––

Symbols of Divine Power and Protection

Crowning the composition is the formidable Trishul, the trident of Lord Shiva. This iconic weapon symbolizes the three aspects of creation, preservation, and destruction, representing the cosmic energies that govern the universe. It is also a symbol of Shiva's power and authority, and its inclusion here imbues the entire piece with divine protection and strength. The Trishul acts as a celestial umbrella, safeguarding the deities and the abode they adorn. The intricately carved makara, mythical sea creatures often associated with water and prosperity, on either side of the main deities further enhances the mythological richness and aesthetic appeal of the artwork. These creatures are believed to ward off negative energies and attract good fortune. The circular motif surrounding Lord Ganesha represents the cyclical nature of time and the eternal cosmic dance. From this circle extends a small, functional diya (oil lamp). Lighting this diya during puja or meditation rituals is believed to amplify the spiritual energy of the deities represented, creating a sanctified atmosphere. Below the diya, a beautifully crafted brass bell hangs, its gentle chime said to awaken the deities and ward off evil spirits, adding an auditory dimension to the sacred offering. ––––––––––––––––––––

Whether placed in your puja room, living area, or entryway, it promises to be a cherished addition, radiating peace, protection, and prosperity for all who behold it.

The Trident as a Metaphor for Transformation: Understanding its

significance in Hindu philosophy The trident holds great significance in Hinduism. It is a spear having three prongs and is the principal weapon of Mahadev, Lord Shiva. He is always depicted holding his Trishul (Trident) in one of his hands. The Sanskrit word Trishul is the combination of two words i.e. "Tri" meaning "three" and "Shul" or "Shool" meaning "a stake". Goddess Durga, the consort of Lord Shiva, is also sometimes seen holding the trident in her arm as one of her weapons. She killed the great demon Mahishasura with it. Some Shaivites (devotees of Lord Shiva) also carry the trident with them as a means of protection. The Vedic scriptures are so vast and detailed that they deal with all aspects of knowledge, both material and spiritual. Anything mentioned in the Vedas is not imaginary or false, it is scientific and based on the knowledge of the Absolute Truth. Hinduism is rich in symbolism and Trident is considered one of the most powerful symbols. Let us know more about the trident and know its significance.

The symbolic meaning of the Trident

Considering the Trident only as a mere weapon is an incomplete understanding. There is a profound meaning behind its divine structure.

- The three prongs of the Trident represent the three modes of material nature; Sattva Guna (mode of goodness), Rajas Guna (mode of passion), and Tamas Guna (mode of ignorance), meaning that everything and everyone in the material world is influenced by these modes.

- Some also believe that the three prongs represent the three forces of creation, maintenance, and annihilation. The scriptures mention that the material universe is temporary (Ashashvatam) and therefore it is first manifested and again unmanifested, and this continues till eternity.

- The trident also symbolizes the three planetary systems. According to the Vedic Puranas, there are three worlds within the material sphere; the lower world (Bhurloka), the middle world (Bhuvarloka), and the upper world (Svarloka).

From bondage to salvation

The Trident is seen as a subtle attack on the negative tendencies or Anarthas such as lust, anger, greed, envy, ego, and illusion. These Anarthas pollute the mind and intelligence of the conditioned souls and cover their real identity and consciousness. As a result, they forget their eternal relationship with the Supreme Lord and become engrossed in material existence. The Trident is an awakening for all the forgetful souls to seek spiritual guidance to know about the Absolute Truth.

The attack or stroke of the Trident destroys all the Anarthas within their hearts. When this happens, the person transcends the modes of material nature and is situated in pure goodness (Shuddh Sattva). In this state of existence, he neither laments for the past nor hankers for anything and remains blissful in his spiritual identity. After leaving the material body, he does not take birth again in any of the planetary systems, but rather returns to the eternal abode of the Supreme. Hence, he comes out of the cycle of repeated birth and death and is not subject to the creation, maintenance, and destruction of the material world.

This is achieved when an individual takes the shelter of a Guru (spiritual master), Shastra (scriptures), and Sadhu (saintly persons) which are the most important symbolic representation of the three points of the Trident. Thus he breaks free from the bondage of the ocean of nescience and becomes liberated.
