Brief Introduction :
Vajravarahi, also known as Dorje Phagmo, is a prominent deity in Tibetan Buddhism. She is revered as a fierce and powerful manifestation of enlightened wisdom and compassion. Vajravarahi is often depicted as a wrathful deity, symbolizing the transformative energy needed to overcome obstacles and delusions on the path to enlightenment. She holds a skull cup filled with blood, representing the transformation of negative emotions into wisdom nectar, and a curved knife, symbolizing the cutting through of ignorance and dualistic thinking. With her fierce appearance, Vajravarahi represents the intensity and determination required to face and transcend the challenges of existence. Devotees turn to Vajravarahi for protection, healing, and spiritual transformation.

Iconography:
Vajravarahi is typically depicted as a red or dark blue deity with one face and two or four arms. She has a wrathful expression with fangs, a crown of skulls, and a third eye symbolizing her wisdom. Vajravarahi’s primary hands hold a skull cup filled with blood, and a curved knife, while her secondary hands may hold various symbolic objects such as a vajra (thunderbolt), trident, or lotus. She stands on a prostrate figure representing ignorance and ego, and often has a garland of severed heads adorning her body.

History:
Vajravarahi has a rich history within Tibetan Buddhism. Her origins can be traced back to ancient Indian goddesses like Chinnamasta and Vajrayogini. Vajravarahi’s practice was integrated into the Tibetan Buddhist tradition through the teachings of Indian masters like Naropa and Marpa, and later transmitted by Tibetan masters such as Milarepa and Tsongkhapa. Her practice became particularly prevalent in the Kagyu, Sakya, and Nyingma traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, where she is considered a key deity within the inner tantric practices.

Temples and Monasteries:
Vajravarahi is highly venerated in numerous temples and monasteries throughout the world. While there may not be a specific temple dedicated solely to Vajravarahi in Nepal, she is worshipped in several Tibetan Buddhist monasteries and retreat centers within the country. Some notable temples and monasteries associated with Vajravarahi can be found in other parts of the world, such as the Nalanda Temple in France, Samye Ling Monastery in Scotland, and Kopan Monastery in Nepal.
