Still think that the figurine is not quite met the Buddhist kanony.Ya can not read the inscription on the bronze. At antique buddist.statuetki price reaches $ 3000. Lord Shiva protects yogis, people practicing yoga.

Shiva ("good fortune"), in Hindu mythology, one of the supreme gods, who together with Vishnu and Brahma forms the divine triad - Trimurti. Shiva is not only a good defender, but the menacing god, dwelling on the battlefield and funeral pyres. Often portrayed him with a rope, on which are strung skull. Shiva - the god-creator and at the same time god, and hence the destruction, the god of fertility and at the same time an ascetic, suppress the urge and living high in the Himalayas on Mount Kailasa. Sometimes he even appeared as a bisexual being. These are mutually exclusive qualities symbolized deity, has incorporated all the contradictions of the world, which plays the role of destroyer of the world and the gods at the end of each kalpa, a period equal to 8,640,000,000 human years. It was believed that as Nataraja, the king of dance, Shiva governs the world order. Charter of the dance, he stops and the universe reigning chaos. So after a period of creation comes destruction. Once Shiva was 10,000-wise rishis, that they worshiped him. In response, Rishi cursed God, and didst send him a ferocious tiger. Shiva fingernail ripped off by an animal's skin and made him a cape. Rishi didst send a snake, but Shiva put it on your neck like a necklace. Rishi created an evil dwarf and armed him with a baton, but Shiva, standing on the back of a dwarf, he began to dance. And Rishi rushed to his feet. Creative power of God is embodied in its main character - Ling-phallus, the male reproductive organs. One myth tells how God came into the forest, where sages meditated. Those who do not know Shiva and, suspecting him of what he wants to seduce their wives, robbed him of the phallus. Once darkness enveloped the world, and wise men have lost their virility. Realizing their mistake, they brought gifts to Shiva, and in the universe once again reigned in the order. Shiva is often depicted four hands and three-eyed. His neck a necklace of snakes, another serpent encircles the body, while other hands entwine. However, snakes are so tired that he gave up the poison, which threatened to destroy the entire world. Shiva swallowed the poison, and his neck is highlighted in blue. Shiva - the father of elephantine god Ganesha and the warrior god Skanda. Shiva meditating on Mount Kailas, Parvati, and crept up from behind and covered his eyes with his hands. Once the sun was darkened, and all living things trembled with fear. Suddenly, in the forehead of Lord Shiva appeared eyes, exhaling fire and dispersed the darkness. Fire, escaped from his eyes lit up all the Himalayas and burned the god of love Kama, when he tried to distract Shiva from ascetic feats.
