Samvid: The Enlightening Goddess
$2,100
Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of knowledge and arts, represents the free flow of wisdom and consciousness (Samvid in Sanskrit). She is the mother of the Vedas, and chants to her, called the 'Saraswati Vandana' often begin and end Vedic lessons. She symbolises light, knowledge, enlightenment and truth. In this sculpture in sandstone, she is shown with four hands holding items with symbolic meaning -- a book, a rosary, a water pot and a musical instrument -- the book representing the universal, divine, eternal, and true knowledge, the rosary representing the power of meditation and spirituality, the pot of water indicating powers to purify the right from wrong and the musical instrument, typically a veena, representing all creative arts and science.

Srishtikarta: The God in Leisure
$549
Lord Vishnu relaxing in Kshira Sagar, the milky ocean could be one of the most grandiose imagery in Hindu mythology. Considered the lord of the universe (Srishtikarta in Sanskrit), this sculpture evidently showcases his serenity and how he manages to tame his creation. Lying on a bed of cobras whose poison has turned nectar, Lord Brahma springing from his navel seated on a lotus, Vishnu’s divine consort Goddess Lakshmi attending to him-- all complete the leisure that god of his stature enjoy. But in mythology, this imagery has many meanings. One being that the ocean stands for bliss, the serpent for time, diversity, desire and illusion, and the goddess Lakshmi for the material things and powers of the creation.

Santana: The Eternal Lord
$275
Santana or Narayana is the Vedic Supreme God. He is also known as Vishnu and Hari and is venerated as Purushottama or Supreme Purusha in Hindu sacred texts such as the Bhagava Gita the Vedas and the Puranas. Narayana is the name of God in his infinite all-pervading form. The Puranas present a seemingly divergent, but accurate description of Narayana (as an Enlightened Supreme Being). The fifth verse of the Narayana Sukta, a hymn in Yajurveda, states that Narayana pervades whatever is seen or heard in this universe from inside and outside alike. Another important translation of Narayana is The One who rests on Water. This brass sculpture depicts Narayana along with his better half Goddess Laxmi and his mount Garuda.
Suggested Placement: In the living room or the prayer (puja) room

Nisada: The Musical Note
$85
Creation without sound at the centre of it is considered impossible. In Hinduism, the sacred syllable Om embodies the essence of the universe - it is the "hum" of the atoms and the music of the spheres - and sound in general represents the primal energy that holds the material world together. Shiva, the supreme lord is considered as the creator of the sound and the music (Sangita). Hence the highest musical experience is Ananda, the divine bliss.
