About Mahachakra Vajrapani

Vajrapani, also known as Guhyapati, is renowned for granting practitioners the ability to practice Tantra. He is credited with calming inner and outer maras, which are delusions and the self-grasping mind (inner) and malevolent spirits and obstructing beings (outer). Mahachakra is a highest form of Vajrapani that appears in meditation as a completely enlightened deity. This form can be seen with or without a consort, with retinue figures or alone. Mahachakra-Vajrapani is depicted with three heads and a third eye, six arms, and two legs. It is adorned with symbols such as a vajra, a snake with yum held in its hands, and a shakti holding a skull-cup and a grigug. The icon is shown stepping over Brahma on the right and Shiva on the left.
