Description
The trident of Shiva is the symbol of the three qualities of Nature, the three gunas, and hence the three functions of Creator, Preserver, and Destroyer. In the microcosm the trident represents the three subtle arteries of the body, ida, pingala, and susumna, which, according to the theory of yoga, ascend from the root center at the base of the spinal cord to reach the “lotus of a thousand petals” at the summit of the head.
The trident is also the giver of punishment on the spiritual, subtle and physical planes. Sanskrit for punishment is ‘shula’, hence the trident is called ‘trishula’, tri = three. As the trident bearer Shiva is known as ‘Shulin’.
The damru denotes its connection with the primal sound AUM. Among Shaivites it is associated with the Hindu deity Shiva in his Nataraja aspect performing the cosmic dance of tandava.
These are assembled together and decorated with coloured zircons in this artifact. Maybe stuck on door or wall for auspicious vibrations.
