Vajrayogini is a female Tantric deity often called the queen of Dakinis, or \"sky dancers.\" Many regard her as the ultimate teacher of Anuttarayoga Tantra, a yoga discipline that enables people to overcome their powerful desires and attachments to achieve enlightenment. Vajrayogini is the primary dakini of the Tantra of Chakrasamvara, also referred to as \"Heruka.\" She is crucial in guiding practitioners toward realizing this tradition's union of wisdom and compassion. Vajrayogini is the most essential tantric goddess in all traditions of Tibetan Buddhism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVajrayogini is admired by people in Nepal, particularly the Newari community. The Newari people have a deep cultural connection with Vajrayogini, and one of the most famous temples dedicated to her is located in Sankhu, a village near Changu Narayan. Our Thangka painting school is also situated in this area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVajrayogini is depicted in many forms, each with a unique beauty and grace. She is usually presented as a beautiful young girl with three eyes, holding a \"driguk\" or vajra-handled knife in her right hand and a kapala or skull filled with blood in her left hand. These attributes symbolize her ability to cut through ignorance and attachment and transform negative emotions into wisdom. In traditional Thangka art, she is often depicted in the Naropa form, as the blood drinker Naro Khacho, as the red dancing dakini Vajravarahi, the severed head form Chinnamasta, the black form Krodha Kali, or the manifestation Dechen Gyalmo, which takes a standing pose similar to Queen Maya Devi, the mother of Buddha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach aspect of Vajrayogini, her different forms and mandala, carries a profound spiritual significance. She can appear alone or surrounded by other deities and assume various poses, each holding a profound spiritual message that invokes reverence and respect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSize with Brocade: 31-Inch x 43-Inch (79 cm x 109 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nSize of Painting Only: 15-inch x 20-inch (38 cm x 51 cm) \u003cbr\u003e\nSurface Material: Handmade Cotton Canvas and Silk\u003cbr\u003e\nColor: Gold and Natural Colors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eBefore making a purchase, please take note of the following important information:\u003cbr\u003e\n- Lighting and screen resolution may cause slight color variations.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Paintings are more captivating when viewed in person.\u003cbr\u003e\n- The size mentioned for the painting does not include the outer border.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Paintings will be securely packed in a PVC tube to ensure safety during transit.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Buyers are responsible for any additional fees at their destination, including import taxes and duties, which are not included in the purchase price.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tibetan Thangka Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53226402545961,"sku":"VAJRAYOGINI3143","price":414.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/1282\/8201\/files\/il_fullxfull.6308109318_syjr_0bc8cc59-0aa7-4556-a1c2-a81a62455078.jpg?v=1780498729","url":"https:\/\/www.tibetanthangkaart.com\/products\/hand-painted-semi-old-oil-varnish-vajrayogini-thangka-with-silk-brocade","provider":"Tibetan Thangka Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
