God
Insight and logic suggests if Gods and Goddess’s would also be human, four arms seems impossible or Gods and Goddess’s must “grow” extra limbs through spiritual evolution.
What should be understood, and something gained through higher revelation, realization and intuition is that Gods and Goddess’s four limbs are symbolic.
Although there is much in the way of explaining the symbology of Shiva’s ornaments or Lakshmi’s (as well as the other Gods) ornamants they hold in the four hands, it is the meaning of the number four (four hands) that is significant.
Why four? Four unlike seven is not numerologically a divine or Godly number. Why then the number four?
Four is a highly significant number in the path to godliness. Chakras 39, 40, 41 and 42 are the four chakras responsible for Godliness.
Chakra 39: Omnipresence
Chakra 40: Omniscience
Chaka 41: Omnipotency
Chakra 42: Omnitemporal
It is the unlocking and spiritual development of these four chakras that leads to the four characteristics of the Soul which is God (the inner dwelling consciousness and energy which gives power, energy and sustains and brings with it spiritual enlightenment and design) that are the four characteristics of God.
God being everpresent, all knowing, all powerful, and everlasting, is also reflective of both the Soul (which is God) and the Gods and Goddess that have realized this level of divinity. What better way to portray Gods and Goddess other than symbolically representing them using their four “limbs”.
