The 'Magadhalene Healer' icon being the female counterpart of the Lord to usher in the New Age.

 

This Magadhalene icon is a 75% of the original full size statue once held in the Kashi Temple in Gilgit. The original was cut from Kashgar sandstone and this 19th century copy is probably cut from a Polynesian sandstone.  The icon, one of only three in the world, was recently shipped to Detroit and commissioned to be restored by Church of the East in Canada.  Some of the restoration and cleanup marks show the lack of Calcium Carbonate and other alkaline patina which covers the icon.  Other damage to the icon was sustained during a hasty removal from its original home on the Indonesian island belt but was not repaired.

A particularly noteworthy aspect of this icon is the mixed symbolism of the water bearer and that of the Pisces era.  The headdress is symbolic of the Dagonian era which the Lord brought to an end to usher in the Aquarian era.  A sub aspect of the Aquarian constellation is also depicted here -- the water flowing from the pitcher in fact flows into a fish -- but in the case of this icon with its abundance of Piscean symbolism the Pisces pitches the water.  The Magadhalene therefore plays an important part in keeping the flow of events of the New Age in balance.

The two-fish symbol on the water pitcher is the initial phase of the Yin and Yang symbol we know from the 7th century onward--a unity of all things germinating in and springing from the Piscean era.

The Sanskrit symbol of Tara, the consort of the Lord in His Avalokitesvara form is engraved on the top of the base while the name Magadhalene in roman script features on the front of the base.

The icon stands a little more than 150cm tall and is presently safe in Canada.

The Magadhalene is often depicted with a pitcher of ointment, oil, healing water or salve.  She is the Healer of the marginalised and giver of life force and sensual capacity to the downtrodden.  This particular icon is the main icon at the foundation of The Magadhalenes movement worldwide,  Incidents of miraculous healing of sensual and sexual problems in devotees and believers continues to be reported by pilgrims who visit the shrines of the three remaining icons.

An encompassing study of all the symbolism incorporated into this important icon is a very rewarding Masters of Divinity topic.
