Lord Shiva, who is known by a multitude of names and forms, is represented as the Adiyogi in this exquisite brass bust. Lord Shiva is the first yogi, who laid the foundation of what we now call yogic science. Also known as Yogeshwara or ‘Great Lord of Yoga, He is the representation of divine meditation and spirituality.
Yoga is the science and technology of understanding the fundamental nature of how life is generated and how it can be brought to its full potential. It is believed that Adiyogi transmitted the knowledge and a methodical explanation of the inner technology of Yoga to his first seven followers, known as the Sapta Rishis, on the banks of Kanti Sarovar, a glacier lake a few miles beyond Kedarnath in the Himalayas. This goes back to the beginning of time before there was any such thing as religion. The most powerful tools needed to increase human consciousness were realised, and promoted before individuals developed divisive ways of splitting humanity to the point where it appears virtually impossible to fix. Adiyogi history also narrates a tale of Shiva who, bestowed his knowledge on Yoga and meditation to his spouse Parvati.
The statue is inspired by the 112-feet tall Adiyogi bust constructed at the foothills of the Velliangiri Mountains at Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu. Recognised as one of the largest bust sculptures in the world by the Guinness World Records, the sculpture is one of its kind. The 4.5-inch miniature version of the Adiyogi statue offered by us is no less in the positive energy emanated by it. This stunning replica is replete with details of the moon, earrings, serpent and His famous locks. The serene face invokes spiritual energies. The crescent moon symbolizes wisdom and mystic knowledge. The three eyes tell us that he is the Master of the past, present and future, being the pioneer of sun, moon and fire. The snake coiled around his neck is a sign of his vitality or the Shiva principle implanted in each human being. The great ‘Yogi’ is seen completely absorbed in profound meditation – the transcendental reality.
Practising Yoga allows a person to be in union with both their own and Universal Consciousness, signifying a perfect balance of mind and body. There are a variety of ways to learn yoga that one can simply cultivate and apply in their daily lives. However, Self-realization is the primary goal of yoga, which leads to a state of 'liberation' (Moksha) or 'freedom' (Kaivalya). The bust symbolises the possibilities for human beings to attain well-being, reach their ultimate potential and feel connected to the source of divinity. Keep it on your desk or give it to those closest to you on special occasions.
