The Divine Beauty: Exploring the Meaning and Symbolism Behind
Krishna Statues
Lord Krishna is known by various other names such as Govinda,
Gopala, Giridhari, Madanmohan, Radharaman, Maakhanchor, etc. The
Vedic scriptures mention Him as the Supreme Lord, the cause of
all causes, and the controller of living entities. In the
Bhagavad Gita, Krishna Himself says that there is no Truth
superior to Him and that in all the Vedas, He is to be known.
Different people see Him differently. Some people see Him as
their son, some as their friend, some as their master, and some
as their beloved. He is the source of all pleasure and bliss.
There are so many pastimes described in the Vedic literature
where it is seen that whoever approached and served Lord Krishna
with full faith and devotion, was never bewildered even in the
greatest calamities, and was always protected by Him. Lord
Krishna is therefore the ocean of mercy.
Lord Krishna expands Himself into different forms to fulfill a
particular purpose in the material world. For example, to save
His five-year-old devotee Prahlad from the ghastly attacks of
his demoniac father Hiranyakashipu, the Lord assumed a special
form of half-lion and half-man, Narasimha, and appeared from a
stone pillar and killed the demon with His sharp nails. This
shows an interesting quality of Lord Krishna. He is very
possessive about His devotees. He never tolerates blasphemy
against them. Those who try to harm them in any way, the Lord
punishes them the hardest way.
Is Krishna statue good at home?
If you want to please Lord Krishna with your service and
devotion, keeping the deity of the Lord will be good for you.
Wherever there is Krishna, there is opulence, victory,
extraordinary power, and morality. Worshiping the deity is one
of the easiest ways to build a strong relationship with the
Lord. There is no difference between the deity of Krishna and
Krishna Himself. The Lord said in the Bhagavad Gita that we can
worship Him by offering Him a leaf, a flower, water, or a fruit.
If the Lord is pleased, you will feel great satisfaction within
your heart and you will experience transcendental bliss.
Therefore, keeping the deity of Lord Krishna at home and
following the necessary rules and regulations in the deity
worship process is highly auspicious.
Which Krishna statue can be kept at home?
There is nothing more sublime than serving the lotus feet of
Lord Krishna for it is the very aim of human life. Therefore,
you can worship any form of Lord Krishna as your heart desires.
You can either keep the deity of the original two-handed form of
Krishna playing His flute or the childhood form of Krishna
eating butter. You may also keep the deity of Krishna along with
Srimati Radharani, His internal potency. If you want to attract
the causeless mercy of the Lord and engage in His offenseless
service, worshiping the deity of Lord Jagannath, the most
merciful form of Lord Krishna would be the best for you. Lord
Jagannath does not take offenses of the devotees and only looks
at their good qualities and intentions.
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.
