They say ayurveda dispels the impurities of being, Sanskrit vyakarana (dialectics) dispels the impurities of speech, and yoga dispels the impurities of the Citta (psyche). It is none other than Maharshi Patanjali who, in His various incarnations, collated the prevailing knowledge in all three fields. As Maharshi Patanjali, He traversed the length and breadth of India and put together in no more than 195 sutras everything that there is to know about yoga. The brilliance of Patanjali’s aphorisms lies in the philosophy, and not the methodology, of yoga espoused in the same.
The traditional iconography of the father (and not founder) of yoga depicts a well-built man of youth, whose body transforms into the coils of a snake below the navel. This depicts the importance of the kundalini, the nerve plexus at the base of the spine, visualised in the shape of a slumbering snake. The five hoods of the creature rise in unison behind the Maharshi’s head like a halo, setting off the inherent gravitas of His countenance. Finally, the tail-end of His anguiline anatomy rests against a minimalistic layered pedestal.
How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?
Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.
Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.
In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth.
