The Auspicious Kurma: An Emblem of Stability and Strength
In the rich tapestry of Hindu mythology, the Kurma avatar symbolises the unwavering strength that upholds the universe. This second incarnation of Lord Vishnu in the Dashavatara is renowned for its association with cosmic balance and the churning of the ocean, signifying the pursuit of divine truth and the gift of immortality. The Ashta Laxmi Kurma is not merely an silver idol; it’s a symbol of the stability and endurance required to navigate the ocean of life’s challenges.
The Vastu Resonance of Ashta Laxmi Kurma
Incorporating this silver idol into your personal space aligns with the principles of Vaastu Shastra, promising to infuse your surroundings with tranquillity and longevity. The very presence of the Ashta Laxmi Kurma is said to resonate with the energies of perseverance, willpower, and prosperity, enhancing the lives of those who welcome it into their homes and offices.
The Essence of the Ashta Laxmi Kurma
The Ashta Laxmi Kurma idol, meticulously crafted by the C. Krishniah Chetty Group of Jewellers, embodies a rich tapestry of spiritual significance and artistic excellence, specially released for Akshaya Tritiya. Cast from 92.5 sterling silver, the idol’s surface dazzles with a 24kt gold plating, elegantly detailed with the engraved figures of Lord Vishnu and the goddess Lakshmi, enhancing its divine aura. Adorning the idol’s eyes, rubies gleam with vibrant life, symbolising foresight and clarity, while emeralds grace its neck, emitting the calm of profound wisdom. This idol is not only a piece of religious art but also a symbol of cosmic balance and the eternal truths depicted through its connection to the Kurma avatar, Vishnu’s second form.
