About The Ritual Item :
This curved Kartika knife, handcrafted from gold-plated copper, is a sacred Tibetan Buddhist ritual dagger representing the abolition of ignorance, attachments, and negativity. The Kartika, also known as the Ritual Crescent Knife, is closely related to Dakini energies and is frequently employed in Vajrayana Buddhist practices to promote transformation, wisdom, and spiritual purification.
This gold-plated Kartika, measuring 10cm tall by 4.5cm at the base and weighing 0.086kg, is an ideal addition to Buddhist altars, meditation areas, and ceremonial rites. The curved blade denotes the removal of illusions and karmic obstructions, allowing spiritual practitioners to experience clarity and enlightenment. Whether employed in tantric ceremonies, meditation, or as a sacred relic, the Kartika knife represents knowledge and protection in Buddhist traditions.
Introduction To The Kartika Knife :
While the Kartika is used in many Buddhist rituals, generally in connection with the kapala (skullcap), it is especially essential in the Tibetan practice of Chöd, a ritual involving self-sacrifice in which the practitioner visualizes their own body as an offering at a tantric feast. The Kartika is also famous for its use in the Tibetan sky burial ritual, in which dead bodies are cut into small pieces and left on top of special gats or burial platforms for the vultures to consume. Unexpectedly, the Kartika is also used in Feng Shui practice.
