The two drums joined together represents relative and ultimate Bodhicitta. The shape of the damaru takes its roots in ancient India -\u0026nbsp;where one side of the drum is seen to represent the male energy of method, and the other represents the female creative energy of wisdom.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn Tantric Buddhist rituals the damaru instructs us and reminds us of impermanence as the sound summons forth the female deities called Dakinis. Another interpretation of the sound of the Damaru suggests that the drum depicts the powers of the rhythm of the heart beat.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn Hinduism, especially by Shiva devotees, it is believed that the beating of the Damaru by Shiva produced the very first sound (nada). This first sound was made in the void of nothingness. Shiva began His dance of creation to the rhythm of the Damaru. From His dance, the world came into being.\u003cbr \/\u003e \u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAbout the Product\u003cbr \/\u003e Excellent quality ritual drum that produces a perfectly balanced sound.\u003cbr \/\u003e Easy to roll up and store in the accompanying brocade cover.\u003cbr \/\u003e The exact pitch and sound will vary depending on conditions such as humidity, temperature, etc.\u003cbr \/\u003e The drum is made of Acacia wood and covered with goatskin.\u003cbr \/\u003e \u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mani Bhadra BV - Phoenix Import","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53365696069975,"sku":"15935","price":47.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/8923\/3751\/files\/15935.jpg?v=1776832587","url":"https:\/\/www.phoeniximport.com\/en\/products\/mystic-ritual-chod-drum-yellow-cover-20x11-cm","provider":"Mani Bhadra BV - Phoenix Import","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
