Hindu Goddess Kali Bhairavi
Figurine
This Kali statue measures 7.5 inches high
Bhairavi means "terrible."
The Tantras says of Bhairavi, " Softly smiling, you shine with a crimson
glow that may be compared to a thousand newly risen suns. You wear a silken veil
and a garland of skulls. Blood smears your breast. Three voluptuous eyes adorn
your lotus face; the moon is your diadem. Your lotus hands show the gestures of
victory of wisdom, the granting of boons, and the allaying of fear."
Here, the four-armed Kali holds the
noose that symbolizes material attachment, the goad representing wrath, the
sugarcane bow that represents a mind full of desires. These tools are delicately
attached, so place Her safely.
Goddess Kali causes the burning and destruction of all limitations, preconceived
ideas, erroneous conceptions, and illusions regarding our individual existence.
Kali's specific action is necessary for protecting us from harmful influences
and for guiding us in spiritual growth. A mother defending her children, the
Great Cosmic Power Tripura Bhairavi, Kali is destroyer of the obstacles and
hardships on the spiritual path. Her creative center and opening to the vulva is
subtly pronounced in this depiction.
Kali is one of the ten Objects of Transcendent Knowledge (maha-vidya). It is
through the destruction of all that appears to us desirable and by facing what
appears to us most fearful, that we can become free from bondage and attain the
aim of our existence, the limitless supreme bliss of nonexistence. [India, 1500
C.E.]
This Kali Statue is made of black
antique stone color resin.
