Front Image Description: Yamantaka (Vajrabhairava)
The front image portrays Yamantaka, the most powerful wrathful emanation of Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom.
In Vajrayana understanding, Yamantaka represents:
-
The fusion of wisdom and compassion, expressed through wrathful form
-
The subjugation of obstacles, ignorance, and negative forces at their root
-
The courage to confront fear, confusion, and hidden resistance directly
Though wrathful in appearance, Yamantaka’s power arises from clarity, insight, and awakened intention, not aggression.
Symbolic Meaning
-
Yamantaka’s presence signifies unshakable strength grounded in wisdom
-
Often associated with overcoming career blockages, hostile interference, and unseen resistance
-
Traditionally invoked to neutralize harmful influences rather than to seek external luck
This makes Yamantaka especially meaningful for those navigating complex work environments, business challenges, or decisive life transitions.
Reverse Image: Wrathful Protector with Skull Cup & Chopper
The reverse side features a wrathful protector deity holding two essential ritual implements:
-
Skull Cup (Kapala)
Symbolizes the transformation of ignorance, negativity, and karmic burden into wisdom essence.
-
Chopper (Kartika)
Represents the sharp wisdom that decisively cuts through delusion, confusion, and obstruction.
Together, these symbols express a clear Vajrayana principle:
Obstacles are not avoided — they are transformed or removed through insight.
The reverse image reinforces active protection, especially in situations involving rivalry, hidden opposition, or repeated setbacks.
