Simhanada Lokeshvara

Simhanada Lokeshvara, meaning “The Lord Who Roars Like a Lion”, is a fierce yet compassionate form of Avalokiteshvara, the embodiment of universal compassion. In this manifestation, he symbolizes the fearless power of compassion that dispels ignorance, diseases, and obstacles with the strength of a lion’s roar.
He is usually depicted with eight arms and three eyes, seated majestically upon a lion throne, surrounded by a radiant halo of flames that represent the burning away of negative karma and suffering. His primary hands hold a vajra and a lotus, while others hold sacred objects such as a trident, bow, arrow, rosary, and water pot, each representing skillful means and spiritual power.
Simhanada Lokeshvara is particularly revered for his ability to purify diseases, karmic impurities, and afflictions caused by demons or ignorance. His lion mount signifies courage, majesty, and the strength of enlightened wisdom, whose roar awakens beings from the deep sleep of delusion.
Through meditation and devotion to Simhanada Lokeshvara, practitioners cultivate the fearless compassion that can face all forms of suffering with wisdom and strength. Read More

About Elector Gold Plating

The Simhanada Lokeshvara has been crafted using the ceramic mold casting process, a modern approach that provides an alternative to traditional methods such as the lost-wax system or rubber molding. Also referred to as ceramic molding, this technique involves the creation of a ceramic mold to cast the statue. The process begins by making a precise and detailed wax model of the desired sculpture. The wax model is then coated with layers of ceramic material, creating a sturdy mold. Once the mold is complete, it is fired in a kiln, causing the wax to melt and escape, leaving behind a cavity that perfectly replicates the original sculpture. Molten metal is then poured into the mold, allowing it to fill the cavity and take on the desired form. Once cooled and solidified, the ceramic mold is carefully broken away, revealing the final metal statue. Read More
