Jambhala Namtose Statue | Divine Wealth with 24K Gold Gilded

Jambhala (Dzambhala) and Namtose (Vaisravana) are interconnected figures in Buddhist traditions, particularly in Tibetan Buddhism, where they symbolize wealth, protection, and spiritual prosperity. Here’s a synthesis of their roles and relationship:

1. Namtose (Vaisravana)

Namtose is the Tibetan name for Vaisravana, one of the Four Heavenly Kings in Buddhism. He is the guardian of the northern direction and a deity of wealth and warfare. Key attributes include:

• Iconography: Depicted as a warrior-king with a yellow face, holding a mongoose (symbolizing generosity) and an umbrella (representing sovereignty). He rides a snow lion.
• Role: Protects the Dharma, bestows material wealth, and fosters generosity. He oversees the Yakṣas (spirit beings) and is linked to Ratnasambhava, the Buddha of Riches.
• Mantra: Om Jambhala Jalendraye Svaha (shared with Yellow Jambhala).

2. Jambhala: The Wealth Deity

Jambhala is a Bodhisattva of Wealth and an emanation of Avalokiteśvara (Chenrezig) or other Buddhas. There are Five Jambhalas, each associated with overcoming specific obstacles and granting prosperity:

• Yellow Jambhala: Most popular; linked to Ratnasambhava. Removes poverty and increases wisdom. Mantra: Om Jambhala Jalendraye Svaha.
• White Jambhala: Born from Avalokiteśvara’s right eye. Purifies karma and averts sickness. Mantra: Om Padma Krodha Arya Jambhala Hridaya Hum Phat.
• Black Jambhala: Associated with Kubera (Hindu god of wealth). Subdues greed and prevents theft. Mantra: Om Zambhala Dzamlim Dzaye Svaha.
• Red Jambhala: Attracts fame and marital harmony. Mantra: Om Jambhala Jalendraye Dhanam Medehi Hrih Dakini Jambhala Sambhara Svaha.
• Green Jambhala: Chief of the Five Jambhalas. Overcomes jealousy and protects practitioners. Mantra: Om Karma Jambhala Ah Svaha.

3. Relationship Between Jambhala and Namtose

• Hierarchy: Namtose (Vaisravana) is a celestial king overseeing wealth deities, including the Five Jambhalas, who act as his retinue.
• Shared Symbolism: Both hold mongooses spitting jewels, symbolizing the transformation of greed into generosity.
• Mantra Overlap: The mantra Om Jambhala Jalendraye Svaha is used for both Yellow Jambhala and Vaisravana, highlighting their shared purpose in wealth practices.

4. Practices and Offerings

• Water Offerings: Pouring water on Jambhala statues (especially White and Yellow) is believed to ease their "pain" from past injuries sustained protecting the Buddha.
• Amulets: The Vaisravana-Dzambhala Wealth Amulet combines their energies to attract financial stability and remove obstacles.

5. Philosophical Significance

While Jambhala practices focus on material wealth, they emphasize ethical accumulation and generosity. Wealth is seen as a tool for supporting spiritual growth and aiding others, aligning with the Bodhisattva ideal.
