VAJRAVARAHI, STATUE

Our vajravarahi statue comes in small and large size and wounderfully crafted by master artisan of Patan Nepal. Our vajravarahi statue are made of copper, wood, stone and bronze.

Vajravarahi, a Sanskrit term means "Diamond Sow". The small sow may be seen emerging from the side of her head and represents her mastery over delusion and false perceptions. Its presence however reminds us that even though ignorance may be regularly overcome it still arises from time to time and there is no state in which it is vanquished forever.

She is essentially naked, or as Tibetans refer to it, "Sky clad", covered only by human bone ornaments as necklace, apron, bangles, anklets which in tantric Buddhist meaning represent her mastery over illusion and false understanding.
She holds in her hands a chopper with vajra top and a skull bowl. These represent the full and complete awareness she possess (the bowl) and the ongoing cleaving process which separates wisdom from ignorance (the chopper). She is encircled by a garland of skulls to show her "deadness" to the world as we perceive it , as do the skulls in her crown. She dances on the corpse of "worldliness".
