The bhoomisparsha mudra is of great symbolic meaning. It is a portmanteau of the words ‘bhoomi’, which is Sanskrt for earth, and ‘sparsha’, which means touch.


It refers to the stance of the dhyani Buddha’s hands (‘mudra’) wherein He reaches down to the earth beneath Him with the tips of His fingers, as if to call upon Mother Earth as the sole witness to the transition taking place within Him.


As such, the seated murti of the gentle Buddha that you see on this page captures Him right at the moment of Enlightenment. Such a figure would make a valuable addition to the dwelling-space of any devotee.

A few things set this composition apart from your run-of-the-mill bhoomisparsha Buddha figures. For example, instead of a long, loose, flowing robe that covers Him from a single shoulder to ankles, the Buddha here is clad in a silken dhoti tied right below the navel. It reaches down to the mid-foreleg, revealing to view the clear stance of His legs.


He is seated in padmasana, the stance (‘asana’) of the lotus (‘padma’); and in His mastery over the most difficult of the asanas of yoga, He looks sublime. In fact, sublime is just the word to describe the composure of that sweet, princely face.


Another distinguishing aspect of this bhoomisparsha Buddha is the sheer proportion of ornaments He is wearing. Despite having been at the zenith of His austerities when the Enlightenment took place, these convey the timeless glory of the Lord.



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.

 

  • The best and simplest way to maintain a brass statue is to clean it at least twice a week using a soft cloth or cotton rag. This will prevent dust from accumulating on the surface. Dusting is especially important for outdoor statues since it is prone to dust accumulation much more than indoors.

 

 

  • To give a natural shine and luster to the statue, you may apply coconut or olive oil using cotton on every portion. You can use a toothbrush to get to the small crevices but do not be too harsh. This will make the brass statue appear fresh and new with a polished look.


  • 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. 

 

Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
