 THE ASHTAMANGAL

 (Mintage 1000)

 (Proof)

  Ashtamangal :-

Ashtamangal are eight auspicious symbols that destroy materialistic and spiritual obstacles, promote prosperity, and ultimately lead to salvation. While the idea of such eight auspicious symbols features across scriptures from various religion, the first mention of this phenomenon is found in Jain scriptures. The names of these symbols are Swastik, Shrivatsa, Nandavarta, Vardhamanaka, Bhadrasan, Poornakalash, Meenyugal, and Darpan.

Swastik

Four arms of the swastik signify four types of dharma i.e., daan (charity), sheel (piety), tap (penance), and bhava (spirituality). These dharmas liberate the soul from the four forms of life viz., dev (celestial birth), manushya (human birth), tiryanch (animal birth), and narak (hell birth), and help it achieve salvation.

Shrivatsa

Shrivatsa or ‘goddess Lakhmi’s son’ is a pious symbol at the middle of the chest. It promotes happiness and prosperity.

Nandavarta

Nandavarta, a maze symbol with four arms, and nine turns and corners. It helps to gain unlimited joy and fortune and eliminates birth-death cycles.

Vardhamanaka

Vardhamanaka are two earthen dishes placed one over another. It increases wealth, fame, power, and religiosity.

Bhadrasana

Bhadrasana is a grand seat. Revering it eliminates all kinds of sorrow and helps to achieve the spiritual kingdom. 

Poornakalash

Poornakalash is a filled pot that fulfills materialistic and spiritual aspirations. The symbol is also suggestive of the idea that those who immerse in spirituality (the image of the pot is used to refer to the soul in Jain scriptures) will attain salvation.

Meenyugal

Meenyugal is composed of two inseparable fish. It symbolizes eternal attachment to Lord Jineshwara.

Darpan

Darpan, or mirror, destroys an individual’s pride by showing reality. Similarly, the darpan symbol helps to view the true spiritual nature of the self.
