An Emblem of Unyielding Truth and Cosmic Force

This exquisite double dorje, known as a Vishva-Vajra, is a powerful symbol deeply rooted in Buddhist and Hindu traditions. Crafted from lustrous brass, this handcrafted piece embodies the spiritual significance and artistic heritage of India. Its intricate design and robust construction speak to the dedication of the artisans who brought it to life. The Vishva-Vajra, with its four prongs extending in cardinal directions, represents the indestructible nature of enlightenment and the unshakeable wisdom that pierces through ignorance. It is a potent reminder of the Buddha's enlightenment and the omnipotence of the Dharma, the universal law.

Mythological and Cultural Resonance

In Buddhist iconography, the dorje (or vajra) is a symbol of the thunderbolt, representing the irresistible force of enlightenment and the ultimate reality that cannot be destroyed. The double dorje, or Vishva-Vajra, signifies the five wisdoms and the overcoming of the five poisons (ignorance, anger, desire, pride, and envy). It is often associated with Amoghasiddhi, one of the Dhyani Buddhas, who embodies the wisdom of accomplishment and fearlessness. In Hindu mythology, the vajra is the weapon of Indra, the king of the gods, renowned for its destructive power that can shatter mountains and vanquish demons. This duality of creation and destruction, of ultimate truth and protective strength, is masterfully captured in this symbolic object.

A Sacred Object of Devotion

This Vishva-Vajra is more than just an object of art; it is a sacred implement used in various rituals and practices within Tibetan Buddhism and other Vajrayana traditions. It is often held during meditation, chanting, and pujas to invoke spiritual power, purify the environment, and consecrate offerings. The presence of a Vishva-Vajra in a home or meditation space is believed to dispel negativity, protect against obstacles, and foster a deep connection to the spiritual path. Its solid brass construction ensures its durability and resonant presence, making it a cherished item for practitioners and collectors alike. The included stand allows for its proud display, serving as a constant inspiration and a focal point for contemplation.
