Description
| *Goddess of food. Annapurna is known in Hinduism as the goddess of food and fertility. Her name means "full of food (Anna)" in Sanskrit, and she has been widely worshipped in India since ancient times as a goddess who protects the kitchen and a motherly figure who provides food for the family. She is represented as holding a ladle or bowl in her hand and sharing food with others, as if to show the sacredness of cooking. Placed in a place of prayer or in the kitchen, it is said to enrich the family table and foster gratitude for daily sustenance. *Episode with Lord Shiva One day, Shiva said, "All material things are but an illusion (maya). Food is also an illusion. This angered his wife Parvati, who disappeared, and food disappeared from the world, leading to famine. The gods and people, in distress, searched for food but could not find any, and finally Shiva himself went to Varanasi to beg for alms. There, Shiva saw Parvati as Annapurna. She was sharing food with the starving people. Annapurna also gave alms to Shiva, and it is said that Shiva realized that even though he as a spiritual being had transcended hunger, humans and devotees could not live without food. This is a very small statue of a deity, but it is highly recommended for those who love to cook and those who want to remember to be thankful for their food. You will want to display it in an important space in your kitchen. |

アンナプルナーは、ヒンドゥー教において 「食と豊穣を授ける女神」 として知られています。その名はサンスクリット語で「食物（Anna）で満ちている（Purna）」を意味し、インドでは古来より「家庭の台所を守る女神」「糧を授ける母なる存在」 として広く信仰されてきました。
料理の神聖さを示すように、手におたまや器を持ち、食物を分け与える姿で表されます。祈りの場や台所に安置することで、家族の食卓が豊かになり、日々の糧への感謝の心を育むといわれています。
■シヴァ神とのエピソード
ある日、シヴァ神は「すべての物質的なものは幻（マーヤー）に過ぎない。食物もまた幻想だ」と語りました。これに怒った妻パールヴァティは姿を消してしまい、世界から食べ物も消え、飢饉が訪れました。
困り果てた神々や人々は食を求めましたが見つからず、ついにシヴァ自身もヴァーラーナシーで施しを乞うことになります。
そこでシヴァが目にしたのが アンナプルナーとしてのパールヴァティ。飢える人々に食を分け与えていました。アンナプルナーはシヴァにも施しを与え、シヴァは「霊的存在としての自分は飢えを超越していても、人間や信徒は食物なくして生きられない」と悟ったと伝えられています。
とっても小さな神像ですが、料理づくりを愛する人、食事への感謝を忘れたくないひとにぜひオススメです。キッチンの大事なスペースに飾りたくなりますね。
