Description
Vajravarahi: Goddess of Tantric Wisdom Power
This Thangka is a striking depiction of the powerful dakini Vajravarahi, who is revered in Tibetan Buddhism for her role in breaking down spiritual ignorance. This beautiful painting is diligently hand-painted on cotton canvas, using natural stone colors and genuine 24K gold to emphasize the sacred and dynamic aspects of her form. Vajravarahi's depiction in this thangka exudes the intensity and transformational energy that she represents, making it an inspiring addition to any meditation space or spiritual collection.
Vajravarahi is depicted in a dynamic dancing posture, symbolizing her active participation in the world to assist beings in overcoming their ego and illusions. She has a curved knife in her right hand, cutting through ignorance, and a skull cup in her left, filled with the nectar of compassion. Her crown is adorned with five skulls, which represent the transformation of humanity's five poisons into five wisdoms.
Vajravarahi, often depicted as a vengeful but compassionate figure, is a key dakini in Vajrayana Buddhism, revered as an embodiment of wisdom and enlightenment. Her name means "Diamond Sow," referring to her head ornament, which depicts a sow's head and represents her victory over ignorance. Vajravarahi is considered a manifestation of other female deities, such as Vajrayogini, and is revered for her ability to cut through spiritual materialism and illusion.
