Discus - Antique Khmer Style Bronze Vishnu Discus or Chakra - 18cm/7"
Measures (Height) 18cm/7"
A lovely antique Khmer style Discus or Chakra in 12th century Angkor style, as held by Vishnu.
In Hinduism, Lord Vishnu is known as the Preserver, the deity responsible for maintaining cosmic order (dharma) and balance. Central to his divine iconography are the four objects he holds in his hands, each symbolizing different aspects of his powers: the conch shell (Shankha), the lotus (Padma), the mace (Gada), and the Chakra (discus).
Among these, the Sudarshana Chakra, a spinning, circular weapon often seen in Vishnu’s right hand, stands out as a powerful symbol of protection, justice, and divine authority.
The Sudarshana Chakra is more than just a weapon; it embodies profound spiritual and cosmic meanings that have resonated throughout Hindu mythology, philosophy, and ritual practices.
Vishnu may wield a chakra. A circular spinning weapon. This discus, often referred to as the Sudarshana Chakra, represents the cycle of time, the eternal nature of the universe, and the destructive power of divine justice.
It symbolizes the ability of Lord Vishnu to remove obstacles, protect his devotees, and maintain cosmic order by eliminating evil and unrighteousness.
The Sudarshana Chakra is more than just a weapon of destruction—it is a profound symbol of cosmic order, justice, and spiritual vision. It serves as a reminder that Vishnu, as the Preserver, is always watching over the universe, ready to restore balance and protect the righteous.
The Chakra’s spinning motion reminds us of the ever-moving wheel of time and the importance of maintaining dharma in our lives.
In the hands of Vishnu, the Sudarshana Chakra represents the ultimate union of divine power and cosmic wisdom, an eternal force that ensures the universe remains in harmony.
Through its myths, symbolism, and rituals, the Chakra continues to inspire devotees to seek righteousness, wisdom, and spiritual protection in their journey through life.
The Chakra is loose mounted to a wood base (later) and can easily be removed from the mount.
