Vajravarahi: Brief Introduction

Vajravarahi is a Dakini & spiritual energy perceived to transmute the Five Negative Afflictions which represent five obstructions which obscure the true nature of the life & obstruct Buddhists as they seek illumination as they journey to enlightenment. These Five Afflictions are greed hatred delusion jealousy and pride. Like all fearsome figure in Tantric Buddhism she is protective & simply wrathful for beneficial reasons.

Vajravarahi is a Sanskrit compound word meaning Vajra Sow. [Tib. Dorje Pakmo]. A sow is a female pig [boar]. Painted arising from her up sprung hair this allegorically represents her subjugation of ignorance. In Buddhist art the pig [Boar] denotes ignorance the snake - hatred & the Cockerel - greed. She is the red coloured tantric Dakini emanation of Transcendent Buddha Vairochana not be confused with blue Nairatma who is an emanation of Akshobhya or red Vajrayogini who is painted standing on two figures with less iconography. She is a very important figure because Vairochana the great illuminator is the head figure in the Transcendent Buddha group around whom the other. Vairochana represents the possibility of Great illumination or [Enlightenment].
IconographyThe crown of five skulls symbolises Vajravarahi's power to transform the five negative afflictions Vajravarahi_Buddhist Art Tibetanor troubles [Skt. kleshas] into the Five Wisdoms [Skt. Pancha Jana]. The Sanskrit word kleshaliterally means 'defilement' or 'poison.' Normally obscured by greed hatred delusion jealously & pride often called the five poisons. The five wisdom levels are 1. Tathata Jana - the 'non-conceptualizing awareness' of Sunyata. 2. Adarsa Jana - the 'Mirror-like Awareness' 'devoid of all dualistic thought & in union with its 'images' as a mirror [Skt. Adarsa] is with its reflections'. 3. Samata Jana - Awareness of Sameness which perceives the sameness the commonality of dharmas or phenomena 4. Pratyaveksana Jana - 'Investigative Awareness'. 5. Krtyanusthana Jana - Accomplishing Activities the awareness that spontaneously carries out all that has to be done for the welfare of beings. Each of these Wisdom Energies has a unique association with one of the Five Buddha Groups.

Her threatening Tarjani hand gesture [Skt. Mudra] also known as Karana mudra is made with a raised index & little finger & by folding the other fingers usually around an object represents her energy aimed at clarifying ignorance. In this case she clasps a flaying knife [Skt. Kartika] symbolising her breaking the power of materialism. Theword Kartika comes from the name of Shiva's Son. Her right hand pours self regenerating uterine blood into her mouth from a skullcap [Skt. Kapala] representing her independence from the material world ...including men. Vajravarahi is painted with a magical tantric staff [Skt. khatvanga] leaning against her shoulder & which has impaled three heads. The first blue head is a fresh severed the second red head is in decay and the third a white skull. Vajravarahi stands in satyalida [ardapayanka] position with once leg held aloft & the other trampling on the deity Kalatri representing the ego. She wears a necklace of fifty human heads [Skt. Kapalamala] as a symbol that she vanquishes the fifty negative emotions or 'forms' she has overcome. She is shown in a celestial dance [Skt. Apsara] position upon an orange sun disc associated with the feminine wisdom aspect & on a Lotus Throne representing Great Bliss and her overall figure is surrounded by a circle of flames of immaculate consciousness. The trees in the left foreground are the Ashoka Tree. The word Ashoka means without sorrow & is the tree linked to the Vedic God of love & sexual union Kamadeva. Apparently the tree blossoms when a virtuous lady touches it. She has boar head which shows an ancient link with the Hindu deity Vishnu. Varaha has a boar head & is one of Vishnu's eight incarnated forms [Skt. Avatars] In Hinduism his consort is Bhu Devi. She wears three flayed animal skins which relate to the original three poisons traditionally painted in the centre of the Wheel of Life [Skt. Bhavachakra] sometimes known as the Jivan Chakra. Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning 'wheel'. The flayed human skin represents her power over greed the tiger skin represents her power over hatred and the elephant skin represents her immolation of Ignorance.CommentaryVajravarahi is an imprtant tantric Dakini. The word Dakini literally means 'sky walking' which refers to the fact that she manifests in the ether in other words the spiritual dimension Her dark yellow hair driven upward by her own intense internal tantric power. The concept of Dakini's is found in the depths of ancient Indian texts. She is said to be 16 years of age which signifies perfection being four times four.
