ब्रह्मण्याधाय कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा करोति यः।
लिप्यते न स पापेन पद्मपत्रमिवाम्भसा।
The lotus plant develops and obtains all of its nutrition from the water it grows. If pulled out of the water, it withers and dies. The lotus leaf is so slippery while growing in water that water drops do not soak it but just glide off. Like the lotus leaf, a person who remains unattached to the world and dedicates all acts to the spirit of God is unaffected by the repercussions of karma.
The lotus flower holds a significant position in many cultures. In Hinduism, it is considered a living symbol of wisdom and meditation. Many gods and goddesses are seen sitting on a lotus podium, signifying their position as the patrons of knowledge and wisdom. The goddess Lakshmi, born from the lotus, is also addressed as Padmaja.
This Brass Statue of Lord Ganesha with Lotuses embracing him closely signifies his affinity towards the flower of wisdom and also. It makes a poignant remark that Lord Ganesha is the patron of Buddhi or intelligence and guides his devotees towards the path of wisdom. Here, Lord Ganesha is in his Chaturbhuj (four-armed) form. He holds an Ankusha or Goad and Pasha or Lasso in his two upper hands and a modak in the lower hand while his other hand is in a Varada pose. He is given a magnificent Lotus garland, and two more lotus emerge from both sides of his body. He sits on a lotus podium and shines with a Lotus crown and halo.
The Purna Kalash, a symbol of abundance, is kept near his feet, signifying his control over Shubh or auspicious, and the Mosshak, his vehicle, looks at him with endearment. The statue's gold, silver, and black lacquer finish makes it more attractive. The Om symbol at the center of the stand completes the sacredness of the entire statue. Also, it reminds us that Lord Ganesha always has the blessings of Lord Shiva, and thus, placing this statue can enrich a space with Shubh, Labh, Samriddhi, and Buddhi.
