Bronze Disease
We believe that the study of Indian bronze iconography is probably one of the richest areas history has offered us. There are literally 1000's of Gods and Goddesses. All these icons have their own meaning, spiritual persona, and form. It would be impossible to offer a complete list anywhere. Some forms are so rare that they may only be applicable to a handful of people in a remote village somewhere. Although this may be the case their meaning is of immense importance.
In every walk of life there is a God. It is our belief that this God is the same ultimate being only He/She reveals Himself/Herself in a different manner to different people. His/Her existence and spiritual guidance is absolute. Throughout the millenniums man has sort to find, understand and ultimately conform to the will of God. It is therefore not surprising that in India alone He/She appears in so many forms.
Our passion for this subject stems from the spiritual meaning of God to people around us. The devotion He/She receives is inspiring and the comfort He/She offers the follower is beyond question. The need for a follower to have his or her God in every part of their lives means that aswell as being everywhere in the meta-physical sense, God is everywhere in the physical sense too. This is represented in iconography. It is therefor not surprising that there are so many images of what we call God.
