Garuda is a large, powerful, eagle-like being. He is both a deity and a mythical creature. Garuda symbolizes speed, martial prowess, and devotion. He is also considered the enemy of all serpents (nagas), which represents his conquest over evil and ignorance. His bird-like features include a prominent beak, broad wings, and strong talons. The linked hands in prayer indicate humility, dedication, and the heavenly figure's intrinsic balance of strength and compassion.
Garuda represents protection from evil, bravery in the face of hardship, and the triumph of justice. Displaying this statue invokes protective energy, spiritual clarity, and a reminder to face challenges with bravery and grace.
Introduction To The Garuda :
Garuda is a gigantic bird of prey in Buddhism. They are also sometimes known as Suparna, which translates to "good wings, good wings." Like the Nagas, they mix the attributes of animals and sacred beings and are the lowest of the Devas. Garuda has rulers and towns, and some have the magical ability to turn into human shapes while dealing with humans.
How do you take care of your statues?
Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
Ensure that the area where your statue is placed is entirely free of moisture and dust.
Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by a Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet.
Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe your face. Directly touching objects with your bare hands can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
