About Our Product

This Handcrafted Hayagriva Ritual Phurba is a sacred Tibetan Buddhist ritual object crafted from copper with a gold plated finish. Measuring 30.5 cm in height, 14 cm in length, and 6 cm in width, with a weight of 0.97 kg, this powerful altar piece is ideal for Buddhist shrines, meditation spaces, ritual displays, and Vajrayana practice areas. Hayagriva is revered as a wrathful protector deity associated with the removal of obstacles, harmful forces, ignorance, and inner disturbances on the path toward enlightenment.

The design features a wrathful Hayagriva head at the upper section, detailed crown work, a vajra element, ornamental bands, a Kartika knife, makara details, and a pointed ritual blade. The Kartika knife symbolizes cutting through ego, attachment, confusion, and negative forces, while the Phurba blade represents the power to pin down obstacles and transform harmful energy. The makara, a mythical creature often seen in Himalayan sacred art, symbolizes protection, strength, and the movement of powerful spiritual energy.

In Tibetan Buddhist practice, the Hayagriva Phurba is not seen as an ordinary dagger, but as a symbolic tool of protection, transformation, and spiritual discipline. Hayagriva’s fierce form reflects compassionate power that clears obstacles and guides practitioners toward wisdom, peace, and awakening. Placed on an altar, this ritual Phurba becomes a meaningful reminder of courage, devotion, inner clarity, and the path toward enlightenment.

Introduction To The Phurba :

The ceremonial dagger (Sanskrit: Kila; Tibetan: phurba) is essential for expelling evil and is considered particularly effective in neutralizing the forces obstructing Tantric Buddhist practice. It has ancient origins, first appearing in the Indian Rig Veda as the core blade of the vajra used by Indra to destroy the primordial cosmic snake Vritra. Kila, derived from Sanskrit, was most likely associated with Vedic sacrifices. Meditation on the Vajrakila Tantra, an early Indian scripture first promoted in Tibet in the eighth century by Padmasambhava, one of the founding teachers of Tibetan Buddhism, is used to invoke the three-headed Vajrakila Buddha.
