Benefits of Lord Buddha Statues and their Right Place at Your Home

1. Hand gestures are known as Mudras in Buddhism

"Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo" is the most popular chant among Buddhists. Whether chanting Buddhist mantras regularly or not, one can always look forward to placing Lord Buddha idols in his/her home. The followers are known to use a series of hand gestures in their meditation. These fascinating hand gestures, also known as Mudras have specific meanings and connotations, differing from each other.

3. Easily get distracted? Dhyana Mudra will solve your issue

Dhyana, literally meaning concentration is a gesture using thumbs to create the triangle and upturned hands overlapping one another. The triangular shape is believed to work on circling of energy and cleansing impurities. Hence, keeping an idol of Lord Buddha in Dhyana Mudra in the meditation room or centre of your home will allow you to meditate and connect with your inner self.

4. Call it Namaskara Mudra, Anjali Mudra, or Hridayanjali Mudra - All mean one gesture

5. Karan Mudra has a strong influence on banishing evil energies

Karan Mudra is meant to fight negativity. Hence, do not keep it in the areas of your home which are already full of activities and people. A glimpse of the Karan Mudra idol might give them a sense of negativity. Keep it in areas that are less active. If you feel a particular room needs warding off the bad energies, place it near a window of that room from where the bad energies would go away.

6. Uttarabodhi Mudra - it signifies supreme enlightenment
