This beautiful white power elephant is depicted carrying the wishfulfilling jewel on its back and offering a Ru Yi or Power with its trunk. On its saddle is the symbol of the Wealth-Increasing Amulet Wheel. This symbolizes good wealth luck and authority luck. You can display it on your workdesk as this is said to attract good fortune and protect against making poor financial decisions.
This glamorous hand-made Bejewelled Power White Elephant Carrying Ruyi has been intricately studded with dazzling crystals and accented with colorful enamel. The saddle hides a compartment that serves as a “wish fulfilling box”, in which the beholder inscribes their wish on a slip of paper and put it in the compartment. You can also empower the elephant by placing your favorite mantra or gemstones in it.
The elephant is a prominent symbol of strength, fertility and intelligence in many cultures, including Chinese, Indian and African. It is a respected animal of insight, cherished by many. In Buddhism, the elephant is one of the eight holy animals, and in the Hindu religion, the Ganesha is the God with the head of an elephant.
In both a mythical and religious role, the Elephant is seen as a mark of magnificence, able to be worshipped and honoured. In many folklore and war stories, the elephant has been seen as enchanting and alluring - in ancient China, the Elephant was a war animal, often given as gifts to the emperor by the King of Siam, during the Kang Hsi era. This animal could always outdo the opponent and prove both its dignity and discretion.
The Elephant also holds a very potent position in Feng Shui. The mother of Buddha had dreams about a pure white elephant directly prior to Buddha’s birth; it is for this reason that the Elephant is now an icon of fertility, being used by couples or singles who desire a newborn. It is an auspicious omen, providing protection for the beholder.
In Feng Shui, those who have an Elephant in their house will be blessed with many beneficial sanctions. Here are some Feng Shui tips to achieve that:
1) In Chinese, the word “elephant” is phonetically similar to “Prime Minister”. The elephant is thus regarded as a symbol of vigour, aptitude, power and prominence and can be used to enhance the luck of the head of a household or company.
2) For businessmen, display a pair of Elephants in a distinguished spot on your desk in your office, facing outwards. This is believed to provide you with fortification from your opponents, as well as induce victory on your business ventures.
3) Display a pair of Elephants indoors, beside your main entrance, facing inside- this will create a flow of good luck into your home. If they are displayed outdoors, then they should be positioned facing out, as they will safeguard the home in this arrangement.
4) Make a wish when rubbing its trunk. The Feng Shui elephant is also known as a grantor of wishes.
