Brass OM - 12"

Standing one foot high, this stylized OM wall art makes a bold statement wherever you place it. It is the Sanskrit symbol for the first or primal sound of the universe – OM. In the Hindu belief system, the OM symbol stands for their god Ganesh. The upper left side curve is his large elephant’s head, which reminds you to think big. The large lower left curve is Ganesh’s round belly, symbolic of Ganesh’s ability to digest all the good and bad that life throws your way as he removes all obstacles in your path. The right side lower curve in the OM symbol represents Ganesh’s trunk, which shows his high efficiency and adaptability. The semi-circle with a dot is a candy (some say modaka, some say laddhu) held out to you in Ganesh’s hand, saying that it is up to you to discover the sweetness of the Formless. Another way of understanding the OM symbol is that Ganesh’s head symbolizes your soul or the ultimate reality of human existence. Ganesh’s belly represents illusion or your earthly existence. In this way Lord Ganesh, or the OM symbol, represents everything. –
