{"product_id":"shiva-in-meditation","title":"Shiva in Meditation","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShiva is one of the three principal deities of Hinduism. The iconographical attributes of Shiva are the serpent around his neck, the adorning crescent moon, the holy river Ganga flowing from his matted hair, the third eye on his forehead and carrying a small drum in his right hand. Seen here sitting in Padmasana or Lotus pose with both feet resting on the thighs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShiva is regarded as the patron god of yoga, meditation and arts. Shiva is considered the Great Yogi who is totally absorbed in himself – the transcendental reality. He is the Lord of Yogis, and the teacher of Yoga to sages. Shiva is depicted as both an ascetic yogi and as a householder (grihasta), roles which have been traditionally mutually exclusive in Hindu society. He is both the great ascetic and the master of fertility, and he is the master of both poison and medicine, through his ambivalent power over snakes. As Lord of Cattle (Pashupata), he is the benevolent herdsman—or, at times, the merciless slaughterer of the “beasts” that are the human souls in his care.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis figurine is originally carved out of soft sandalwood mounted on a rosewood base.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- x-tinymce\/html --\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"113\" data-end=\"129\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"113\" data-end=\"129\"\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a \u003cstrong data-start=\"140\" data-end=\"171\"\u003edigital 3D model (STL\/3mf file)\u003c\/strong\u003e for \u003cstrong data-start=\"176\" data-end=\"191\"\u003e3D printing\u003c\/strong\u003e – \u003cstrong data-start=\"194\" data-end=\"219\"\u003enot a physical object\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr data-start=\"220\" data-end=\"223\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eNo physical product will be shipped.\u003cbr data-start=\"259\" data-end=\"262\"\u003eAfter purchase, \u003cstrong data-start=\"278\" data-end=\"296\"\u003edownload links\u003c\/strong\u003e will be shown on your screen and \u003cstrong data-start=\"330\" data-end=\"352\"\u003esent to your email\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr data-start=\"353\" data-end=\"356\"\u003ePlease read the full \u003cstrong data-start=\"377\" data-end=\"400\"\u003ewebsite description\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong data-start=\"405\" data-end=\"414\"\u003eterms\u003c\/strong\u003e before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VedicFutura","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42890266902726,"sku":"","price":129.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/0608\/7366\/files\/SQ-2_76ebc15e-33c9-4a3c-ac3a-167a45803aa4.jpg?v=1698861271","url":"https:\/\/vedicfutura.com\/products\/shiva-in-meditation","provider":"VedicFutura","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
