Rules to Remember While Correctly Placing a Shiva Statue at Your Home.
Lord
Shiva is regarded as the most important gods in the Hindu belief. All our
folklores and fables have at least one mention of Lord Shiva. The Lord is
worshipped globally and has inspired a lot of art and culture throughout the
times. Many Lord Shiva Brass Idols are seen in houses who worship
God. Lord Shiva is considered to be
omnipresent and doesn’t have a specific form. He is considered to be the only
eternal soul of the universe, also known as ‘Atman’. He has been depicted in
various types through the times, as Bholenaath who is a Yogi living in the
Himalayas, as Natraja the God of dance, Gangadhara as the protector of the
river Ganga, etc.
Gifting
Brass
Shiva Statue is
a beautiful idea but there are a few rules you must follow before gifting or
installing a Shiva idol in your home.
1. Symbolism
-
It’s vital to remember
and represent the symbolic nature of a Brass
Shiva. He
is the God of creation and destruction. The idol has several aspects that have
significance. Like the ring of fire around his head is a symbol for the divinity
of creation, the drum is to signify the beating of the drum; the lotus is for
the heart and gentleness, flame means the destruction of the current world to
build it again. These are some of the symbols of a Shiva statue and you must
understand the symbolism before placing a statue in your homes.
2. Position
-
Most people who are on
the lookout for an aesthetic Shiva Murti fail to observe and understand its
requirements. The Shiva idol needs to be kept in a particular way to avoid
negative energies. Vastu Shastra or the architectural science said to us in
Ayurveda, tells us to place the Shiva idol in the northeastern corner of our
homes. This corner is also known as the ‘Ishan Corner’ which is excellent for
meditation.
3. Type
of Murti
-
It is imperative to
choose the perfect idol for your purpose. If you’re looking for a calming
effect, you must opt for a sitting statue of Shiva. If you’re looking for an
energetic or enthusiastic presence, you can go for the Natraja Murti as it is a
symbol for high energy. A Shiva
Parvati Brass Idol can
be placed to signify love and balance.
4. Don’t
Overdo It
-
Just one statue can do
the trick if you’ve followed the rules correctly. Keeping more than one figure
may cause the energies to counter react
These
are some of the basic rules to follow while worshipping Lord Shiva and placing
his idols in your house. For aesthetic brass idols visit Advitya’s now.
