Vedanta Desika lived from 1269 to 1370 and was a great spiritual teacher and writer, and is one of the very few non-deities ever depicted in Hindu murtis. His explanations of the Transcendence and Immanence of God are illuminating. He stands for non-violence, sense-control, universal compassion, infinite patience, wisdom, austerity, meditation, and truth. In this wonderful early 18thC bronze statue, he is meditating in a lotus posture. This item has a very smooth touch and a dark rich patina. Note in particular the detailed portrayal of his feet in the lotus position and the curl of his hair seen from behind. Height 5.3 cm; width 3.5 cm. |
