Gods

ganesh

Ganesh, Bestower of Wisdom and Remover of Obstacles

Ganesh is the Elephant God in Hindu religion. It is not strange that he is so highly worshiped because he is humble and wise and shows us that everything is possible.


He rides upon a rat like a big loveable giant, letting his inner beauty, confidence and humbleness shine through. Gentle but big, he attracts the big and the small alike as we feel his compassion and forgiveness. At the same time he is very wise and intelligent. Highly brilliant, yet completely socially adept! That is rare indeed.

With his om-shaped trunk, he is the infinite symbol of auspicious.
He also rules the root chakra, waking up our latent energy and bringing us towards divinity.

shiva

Shiva brings us to meditation and, as the destoyer, he kills the sense of individual being, bringing us to unity.

He is pure bliss, the primordial male and female energies.

Shiva is one of the 3 major Hindu deities of life (Brahma, the creator, Vishnu, the preserver and Shiva the destroyer). He is the father of Ganesh.

Dancing Shiva, also known as Natraja, is highly symolic. Dance is an act of eternal creativity and change, old turning into new and thus can be both positive and negative (celebration and mourning). We are all born, live and die. This is cosmic impermanance.

Hindu jewelry

 

buddha

Buddha, or enlightened one, is considered a man and a teacher (as opposed to a god and a savior). He lived with compassion for humanity and devotion to the universe.
Buddha reached enlightenment or nirvana, coming to his liberation from suffering. Immortality, not of body, but of spirit.
