VAJRAYOGINI
ABOUT VAJRAYOGINI
​
Vajrayogini is a female embodiment of perfect Enlightenment. Her naked form represents transcendent wisdom, for there are no boundaries between herself and the universe. Vajrayogini stands on the demons of ignorance and ego, deemed the two greatest challenges to achieving Enlightenment. Her staff signifies her mastery of knowledge, which allows the Buddha to extend compassion indefinitely. Vajrayogini is the goddess of grace and destruction, destroying illusion and the ego. She is typically depicted in fierce form, colored blood red. She wears a necklace of skulls and holds a skull cup and flaying knife in her hands. Vajrayogini's yoga Tantra practice is believed to be a faster path to enlightenment. Usually, her mantras and practice are considered secret
