Who is Vajra Yogini
Entering the world of Vajra Yogini is a journey of enlightenment, of passion, and of strength - a journey into the mystical world of Vajra Yogini, the tantric goddess revered by the Siddhas. Bold and fierce in her Dakini form, Vajra Yogini, or Vajrika as she is originally known, stands without a male counterpart in her Mandala and Loka. Her consort, Maha Vajra, remains unseen, yet ever-present.
Vajra Yogini embodies the traditions of Yoga, Aghora, and Vama, fearlessly embracing and representing the 'tamas' tattva qualities. She is indeed the goddess of the 'Tamas', guiding her followers towards transcendence beyond all qualities and Gunas - the state of Siddha Chitta Avastha. This journey with Vajra Yogini is not about denying passions but about accepting and navigating through them, even the dark desires and tamasic qualities.
The path of Vajra Yogini is which accepts tamas is suited for most people living on earth, since the world and everybody’s lifestyle - even the most saintly people is heavily influenced by tamas.
Understanding Vajra Yogini is about delving into the multifaceted symbol of "Vajra". This term, central to Siddha Dharma, stands for something super strong, reminiscent of the backbone. It is also likened to a diamond, radiating lustre and longevity. Moreover, Vajra represents the Vajra Nadi, a subtler energy channel than the Sushumna Nadi.
Born from the tamasic Shakti of Kaal Ratri, Vajra Yogini manifested herself with a Vajra diamond that Kaal Bhairava revealed in his spine. Her path is a unique fusion of the tamas with yoga - a journey known as 'miscrachara'. This journey is not just about reaching perfection but about embracing the power and possibilities that lie within us.
In her artistic depictions, Vajra Yogini is portrayed atop an open petalled lotus flower, symbolizing infinity and infinite possibilities. Her form, though nude, is a portrayal of truth, while the half-moon adorning her head speaks of her natural truth, inner peace, love, and completeness. She wields a Khatvang weapon, symbolizing her dominion over the universe by transcending the three gunas. This weapon also signifies her great capability, courage, glory, and spontaneous bold judgement.
Her divine crown, made of five skulls, represents the five elements and the divine presence within the five sheaths or Pancha Koshas of the human body. In her hand, she holds a skull bowl, or Akshay Patra, denoting her power to manifest and dissolve all creation, remaining unperturbed by these acts.
Vajra Yogini holds a special place in the hearts of those seeking transcendence through the Tamas and dark qualities. Even those born with Tamasic tendencies, drawn towards what society may deem as taboo or immoral, find a path towards spiritual growth in her. She is the beacon of the Vaam Maarg and Aghora path, guiding such practitioners towards supreme Siddha hood through the incorporation of Tamas.
Step into the world of Vajra Yogini, embrace your passions, navigate your darkness, and embark on a journey towards transcendence and enlightenment.
