This captivating brass statue brings to life the divine essence of Dakshinamurti Shiva, the Avatar of Lord Shiva in his Jnana Dakshinamurthy form. Seated beneath the sprawling branches of a banyan tree, the four-armed deity assumes the Lalitasana, surrounded by earnest sages engrossed in his profound teachings. The imagery is intricate; his right foot subdues the symbolic demon of ignorance, 'Apasmara,' while his left rests gracefully on his lap.

Dakshinamurthy's upper arms wield a damru with a serpent and a flame, symbolizing cosmic rhythm and enlightenment. The Vyakhyanamudra in his lower right-hand beckons followers to engage in enlightened discourse, while the left hand holds a bundle of kusha grass, signifying reverence for sacred scriptures.

Immersed in yogic meditation, Dakshinamurthy radiates a perpetual state of bliss, representing the joy inherent in spiritual enlightenment. This brass masterpiece encapsulates the divine wisdom and transformative energy associated with Lord Dakshinamurthy.

The Divine Teacher Embodied

Behold a meticulously crafted brass statue, embodying Shiva in his Dakshinamurti aspect. This form represents Shiva as the supreme teacher, the dispeller of ignorance and the granter of wisdom. Cast in shimmering brass, this depiction brings the profound energy of divine knowledge into your space. The statue measures 8.5 x 5.8 x 5.3 inches, making it a striking focal point for any altar, study, or meditation room. The beautiful detailing allows the light to catch and highlight the intricate designs.

The Significance of Dakshinamurti

Dakshinamurti, literally "facing south," is a unique manifestation of Shiva where he is seated in a yogic posture, often beneath a banyan tree, imparting profound wisdom to his disciples. This representation transcends the usual roles of destroyer and creator associated with Shiva. Here, he is the silent guru, communicating not through words, but through the subtle language of mudras and the unwavering gaze of divine presence. This silent transmission of knowledge is considered the most powerful and direct path to enlightenment. The symbolism embedded within this form of Shiva is rich and varied. The four kumaras or the first four disciples are usually depicted. Their presence signifies the importance of lineage and tradition in the pursuit of knowledge.

Meditative Asana and Symbolic Gestures

Observe Shiva seated in the lalitasana posture, a pose of relaxed composure, atop a lotus pedestal. This posture speaks of ease and access to the divine. The lotus, arising from muddy waters, symbolizes spiritual purity and enlightenment blossoming from the depths of worldly existence. Shiva's raised right hand displays the Jnana Mudra, a symbolic gesture where the thumb and forefinger unite, signifying the union of the individual soul (Atman) with the universal soul (Brahman). It is a gesture of knowledge, wisdom, and liberation. The palm is turned towards the viewer, extending a blessing of understanding. In his other hand, Shiva holds a book or a serpent, embodying both wisdom and cosmic energy. Around Shiva are the first four Kumaras or disciples who seek knowledge.

The Banyan Tree and Eternal Knowledge

Behind Shiva is a representation of the banyan tree. The banyan tree, with its aerial roots descending to the earth, is a symbol of the eternal nature of knowledge and the interconnectedness of all things. It suggests that wisdom is not confined to a single source but is constantly renewed and available to those who seek it with sincerity. The statue beautifully renders this symbolism, making it a potent reminder of the boundless potential for learning and spiritual growth that lies within us all. Acquire this statue and invoke the blessings of Dakshinamurti Shiva, inviting wisdom, clarity, and enlightenment into your life.
