Understand Brass God Idols before You Regret

Gods, or devata, are scholars and respected members of society who are specialists in a specific field. They were known as Priests and Priestesses back when Hinduism was still widely practiced in India. It is believed that Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh (who we know as Shiva) come together to form the Purusha who essentially takes on the role of the Supreme Deity. These deities hold great importance because they were three of the original six beings whom were personally chosen by Brahma himself.

The reason these brass God idols are called the primary deities of the scriptures is because they uphold spiritual functions for our universe. For example, a deity like Indra who is worshiped for bringing forth rains oversees universal affairs to bring forth rain. He rules over thunder and lightning. A God like Agni invoked at the altar of sacrifices, lords over fire and offers warmth and light to those who worship him. Deities have their own areas of expertise that they oversee and maintain, so it's important that you show them respect by following their rituals of worship as well!

She is often worshipped by people seeking knowledge and wisdom such as researchers or professors. She is like a flowing river that brings life to all she has touched; being the morning dawn that shines over all when the sun rises.

·        Goddess Saraswati is also referred to as Gayatri, and it’s from this designation that the Gayatri Mantra gets its name. Appropriately enough, she is known by the sanskrit word “Gāyatrī” - which literally translates to mean “the one who flows”. That being said, it might be interesting to point out that the same name ultimately gave rise to Saraswati River too.

She represents liberation and the limitless nature of all that exists. As the Goddess of learning she is responsible for spreading wisdom and consciousness to souls so that they may grow, develop and fulfill their true potentials.
