Hayagrīva is the wrathful form of Avalokiteshvara, embodying fierce compassion that destroys delusion and overcomes internal and external obstacles. His wrathful appearance symbolizes the intense energy needed to eliminate ignorance and opposing forces. A distinctive iconographic feature of Hayagrīva is the horse head that emerges from the top of his crown. This horse head represents Dharma's mighty, penetrating roar—the enlightened speech that dispels illusion and ignorance. The horse's neigh or scream symbolizes Dharma's transformative, liberating sound, capable of reaching all beings and cutting through delusion. In his right hand, Hayagrīva holds a lasso, used to bind and subdue harmful forces and negative emotions, drawing them under control and transforming them into wisdom. His sword in his lower right hand signifies the cutting of ignorance, delusion, and obstacles. The sword is a classic Buddhist iconography symbol representing wisdom that cuts through confusion and negativity. These implements reinforce Hayagrīva's role as the eliminator of delusion and protector against harmful influences.
Introduction To Hayagriva :
The furious, wrathful horse-faced deity Hayagriva has the ability to expel unconverted evil entities. The Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions have also recognized multiple deities as representations of numerous Buddhas and bodhisattvas.
In Tibetan Buddhism, Lord Hayagriva is a wrathful form of Avalokitesvara. There are said to be 108 different varieties of Hayagriva. Avalokitesvara, a Bodhisattva, is one of the most well-known deities in Buddhism's Mahayana pantheon. In the Mahāvirocana sūtra, Hayagrīva is described as a Vidyaraja who is situated next to the figure of Avalokitesvara in the depiction of the vast Magic circle or Mandala. Additionally, according to renowned Buddhist missionary Bodhiruci, Vidyaraja Hayagriva was associated with Amoghapasa as a unique element of Avalokitesvara.
How do take care of your statues?
• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is completely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet.
• Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face. Directly touching with the bare hand objects can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
