Description

Lord Shiva is here shown meditating on a tiger skin. His trident and dambaru are also depicted. His eyes are half closed. Lord Shiva is the ultimate reality; he is both Yogeshwara (Supreme deity of all yoga paths) and Yogishwara (the Master and teacher of all Great yogis). The supreme bliss (ananda) is the essential nature of Lord Shiva, who is also the Universal Self. It is the Lord’s nature to dwell in his own bliss. Lord Shiva is static and his dynamic power is Devi Parvathi. So, he sits and meditates. He carries out various activities through his power, i.e. Devi Parvati. Lord Shiva contemplates on Shivoham (I am Shiva)or Soham (He is I) mantra.

Description

The spectacular brass figure of mediating Lord Shiva Shankar reveals a deep sense of devotion and piety. The Lord is in deep meditation and his eyes are closed. The entire body is finely carved. The snake, the rudraksha garland, his hair, face –all are minutely treated. Lord Shiva is one of the all-powerful Trinity Gods in Hindu pantheon—the other two being Lord Brahma, responsible for the creation of the Universe and Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe. Lord Shiva is responsible for the destruction of the evil forces. Such a destruction leads to a new beginning. He is worshiped across the country.

Lord Buddha is said to have known lot of herbal medicines and taught his disciples about the secrets of these medicines. Ancient teachings tell us that merely seeing the Medicine Buddha, or even seeing an image of the Medicine Buddha, or hearing the name of the Medicine Buddha, can confer inconceivable benefits. His radiant body is azure blue. His left hand is in the meditation mudra and holds a begging bowl full of long life nectar in his lap. As a sign that he gives protection from illness, his right hand is outstretched in the gesture of giving and holds the "great medicine", the myrobalan plant. His left hand rests in his lap, palm upward, in the gesture of meditative stability or meditation, which represents the eradication of sickness and suffering— and, indeed, the very roots of samsara— through the realization of absolute truth. From the point of view of either relative truth or absolute truth, the fundamental cause of sickness and suffering is a lack of contentment and the addictive quality of samsara. Therefore, to indicate the need for contentment, in his left hand he holds a begging bowl.

The brass figure of Medicine Buddha is given a resplendent treatment with a some finesse. The Lord is in a meditative posture and the floral surrounding is delicately carved out. The Lord is seated on a lotus. Medicine Buddha is a fully enlightened being, who is a being who is completely free from the darkness of ignorance.

It is believed that Medicine Buddha protects living beings from physical and mental sickness and other dangers and obstacles, and helps them to eradicate the three poisons – attachment, hatred, and ignorance – which are the source of all sickness and danger. He is a Buddha Doctor. Buddha expounded the Sutra of Eight Thousand Verses revealing the instructions on Medicine Buddha.
