Kali: The Goddess of Creation, Preservation and Destruction
$117
Kali is the feminine form of Kalam ("black, dark coloured"). Kala primarily means "time", but also means "black"; hence, Kali means "the black one" or "beyond time". Kali is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment or shakti. She is therefore called the Goddess of Time, Change, Power, Creation, Preservation, and Destruction. Her earliest appearance is that of a destroyer of evil forces. Kali's association with darkness stands in contrast to her consort, Shiva, whose body is covered by the white ashes of the cremation ground where he meditates, and with which Kali is also associated, as smasana Kali.

Santana: The Eternal Lord
$275
Santana or Narayana is the Vedic Supreme God. He is also known as Vishnu and Hari and is venerated as Purushottama or Supreme Purusha in Hindu sacred texts such as the Bhagava Gita the Vedas and the Puranas. Narayana is the name of God in his infinite all-pervading form. The Puranas present a seemingly divergent, but accurate description of Narayana (as an Enlightened Supreme Being). The fifth verse of the Narayana Sukta, a hymn in Yajurveda, states that Narayana pervades whatever is seen or heard in this universe from inside and outside alike. Another important translation of Narayana is The One who rests on Water. This brass sculpture depicts Narayana along with his better half Goddess Laxmi and his mount Garuda.

Nisada: The Musical Note
$85
Creation without sound at the centre of it is considered impossible. In Hinduism, the sacred syllable Om embodies the essence of the universe - it is the "hum" of the atoms and the music of the spheres - and sound in general represents the primal energy that holds the material world together. Shiva, the supreme lord is considered as the creator of the sound and the music (Sangita). Hence the highest musical experience is Ananda, the divine bliss.
