Nidhiratna's Vajrakilaya Statue: The Conqueror of Obstacles and Eradicator of Negative Forces

Nidhiratna's Vajrakilaya statue is a powerful representation of one of the most revered deities in Vajrayana Buddhism. Vajrakilaya is a wrathful and dynamic figure, symbolizing the forceful eradication of obstacles and negative influences on the path to enlightenment. As the embodiment of the indestructible, transformative power of the vajra (diamond scepter), Vajrakilaya plays a crucial role in both spiritual and practical protection for practitioners. This meticulously crafted statue, made of copper and adorned with gold gilding, radiates strength and protection, drawing upon the immense power of Vajrakilaya to dispel all that hinders spiritual progress.

Created by Nepalese master artisans, the Vajrakilaya statue is crafted with an attention to detail that underscores its significance as a spiritual tool. Each aspect of the statue is thoughtfully designed to reflect the ferocious power of Vajrakilaya, who is often seen as the destroyer of the most powerful and persistent obstacles, such as ego, ignorance, and negative emotions. The gold finish adds a layer of purity and spiritual brilliance, while the vibrant details in the sculpture highlight the potent, protective nature of this deity.

Vajrakilaya is depicted in a fierce and wrathful posture, sitting upon a lotus throne that symbolizes spiritual purity amid the tumultuous forces of samsara. His posture, aggressive and assertive, reflects his role as a fierce protector who confronts and eradicates all spiritual hindrances. The deity is typically shown with a vajra in one hand, signifying his power to cut through the veils of ignorance and delusion, while his other hand holds a khadga (sword), which is used to destroy negative forces and obstacles. The combination of the vajra and the sword represents the dual qualities of wisdom and power, which work together to clear the path to spiritual liberation.

Vajrakilaya’s face, with a sharp and intense expression, reflects his wrathful nature, yet his energy is not born of hatred but of profound compassion and the will to protect practitioners from harmful influences. His eyes, wide open and piercing, evoke a sense of urgency and power. He is typically shown with multiple arms and legs, each symbolizing his omnipresence and ability to engage in the many tasks of spiritual protection and removal of obstacles. His body is adorned with jewelry and robes that indicate his divine status, and his overall appearance radiates a fierce energy that is designed to dispel any form of negativity in the environment.

The iconography of Vajrakilaya often includes the vajra placed upon a bell or surrounded by flames, which emphasize his role as a destroyer of ignorance and a purifier of negative karma. The flames symbolize the transformative power of wisdom, burning away the impurities that cloud the mind and prevent spiritual growth. The bell, held in his other hand, represents the wisdom that accompanies the destruction of negative forces, bringing peace and clarity to the practitioner’s path.

The demon or obstacle often depicted beneath Vajrakilaya’s feet represents the negative forces or delusions that he is actively destroying. This symbolizes the power of Vajrakilaya to overcome all forms of spiritual hindrance, whether external or internal and the triumph of wisdom and compassion over ignorance and suffering.

Vajrakilaya’s Mantra:

The mantra associated with Vajrakilaya is "Om Vajrakilaya Hum Phat", a powerful and transformative invocation that calls upon his wrathful energy to remove obstacles and purify the mind and environment. The mantra is a direct connection to Vajrakilaya’s power, and its recitation is believed to activate his protective qualities, guiding practitioners toward liberation by eliminating the forces that obstruct their spiritual progress.

Each syllable in the mantra carries deep symbolic meaning:

  • Om: The universal sound that represents the source of all existence and the unity of all things.
  • Vajra: The diamond scepter, representing indestructible wisdom and power to cut through delusion.
  • Kilaya: Refers to the act of piercing or striking, symbolizing the power to eliminate obstacles and harmful forces.
  • Hum: Represents the transformative energy of the mantra, purifying negativity and clearing the path to enlightenment.
  • Phat: A syllable used in mantras to symbolize the cutting through of illusions, symbolizing swift and decisive action.

Through the recitation of this mantra, Vajrakilaya’s protective and transformative energy is invoked, ensuring the practitioner’s path is cleared of all obstacles, both external and internal, and that they are supported in their journey toward enlightenment.
