About Our Product:
This Vajrayogini bone statue is 16 cm tall, 4 cm broad, and weighs 0.078 kg. It was carved from ethically sourced buffalo bone. This wonderfully sculpted figure represents Vajrayogini in a dynamic dance pose atop a lotus pedestal, surrounded by swirling filigree designs representing change and the mandala of enlightened energy. Every curve, from her uplifted arm gripping the ceremonial staff to the flowing skirt, shows amazing craftsmanship, making this item unique in any spiritual place.
Vajrayogini, the Queen of the Dakinis, is a fierce, enlightened, tantric deity who transforms hostile forces into positive wisdom. She wears a five-skull crown, symbolizing the transmutation of the five mental poisons into the five wisdoms, and has three piercing eyes that see across past, present, and future. In her right hand, she wields a curved flaying knife (kartika) to cut through ego and illusion, while her left arm holds a skull cup filled with blood, representing the transformation of desire and ignorance into enlightened nectar. She is shown stepping on a corpse, signifying the subjugation of ego and dualistic thought, and she stands on a sun disc atop a lotus base, symbolizing the union of emptiness (śūnyatā) and blissful awareness.
Intoduction to dakini
A Dakini is a profound and dynamic figure in Vajrayana Buddhism, often referred to as a "sky dancer" or "sky-goer." She represents the feminine embodiment of enlightened wisdom, transformative energy, and spiritual freedom. Dakinis appear in various forms—as celestial beings, meditation deities, and even realized human women—each playing a crucial role in guiding practitioners on the path to awakening. Fierce, ecstatic, and uncompromising, they challenge delusion and ego, cutting through obstacles with clarity and power. Symbolizing the raw, unbounded nature of wisdom, dakinis are central to tantric practices and rituals, especially in Tibetan Buddhism, where deities like Vajrayoginī exemplify their qualities. Engaging with the energy of a dakini is seen as a potent means of spiritual transformation, leading practitioners beyond dualistic thinking into direct realization of the ultimate truth.
How do you take care of your statues?
• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is entirely 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.
