Marīcī (Marici Devi) – The Bodhisattva of Light and Invisible Protection
Marīcī, whose Sanskrit name means “Ray of Light”, is revered in Buddhist tradition as a powerful protective Bodhisattva.
She is traditionally associated with:
-
Invisible safeguarding — protection beyond physical visibility
-
Freedom of movement through danger and conflict
-
Dispelling obstacles, including hostility, theft, disputes, and misfortune
In esoteric Buddhism, Marīcī is known for her ability to transcend conventional limitations of time and space, symbolizing protection that operates quietly, without confrontation.
In this Thangka, she is depicted with:
-
Multiple faces, rendered with clarity and expression
-
A jeweled crown with a stupa, symbolizing awakened authority
-
Flowing celestial garments and ornate jewelry, reflecting enlightened power expressed with grace
The Six-Syllable Mantra – The Core of Marīcī Practice
The reverse side features Marīcī’s six-syllable mantra:
“Om Marici Svaha”
In Buddhist practice, mantras serve as condensed expressions of enlightened energy. This mantra is traditionally regarded as the heart of the Marīcī practice, used to:
-
Cultivate inner confidence and mental clarity
-
Support protection during travel, work, and daily challenges
-
Strengthen resilience against external and internal disturbances
Rather than functioning as a promise of outcomes, the mantra acts as a focus for intention, mindfulness, and composure.
A Unified Symbol: Light, Protection, and Action
When Marīcī Devi and her six-syllable mantra are presented together, they form a complete symbolic system:
This combination reflects a path of calm strength and discreet protection, especially meaningful for those who move through complex or demanding environments.
