About The Ritual Item :
This Phurba with throne craft stands 81 cm in height and 29 cm in width and weighs 7.866 kg. It is an intricate representation of Buddhist Hayagriva in the Heruka form, embodying powerful, wrathful energy. Crafted from copper and finished with gold plating, this piece features beautifully detailed nine angry faces, each symbolizing a different aspect of wrath and transformative energy. Amitabha Buddha's head is crafted at the top of the phurba with the other 9 Heruka heads below, adding a layer of compassion to this fierce figure. The Phurba, a traditional ritual dagger, is often used to cut through illusions and negativities symbolically, and in this representation, it is elevated with extraordinary craftsmanship.
The thone, carved in the shape of flames around the figure, highlights the intense, transformative energy central to the Hayagriva-Phurba deity. This flame motif represents the burning away of opposing forces and obstacles. The statue's base is meticulously carved with floral designs, symbolizing purity and the flourishing of life amidst the fierce energy. The vibrant gold plating complements the copper body, enhancing the sacred nature of the Phurba while giving it an ornate, regal finish ideal for ritualistic use or display in a spiritual space.
The Phurba's presence is commanding, with its eight faces giving it a sense of authority and power characteristic of Heruka, a deity representing the wrathful aspect of compassion. This unique depiction integrates Buddhism's wrathful and compassionate qualities, presenting a balance that resonates deeply with practitioners. The overall design emphasizes the protection and transformation offered by this deity, and its flame-like halo further intensifies the symbolic meaning behind this powerful Buddhist artifact.
Introduction To The Phurba :
The ceremonial dagger (Sanskrit: Kila; Tibetan: phurba) is important for expelling evil and is considered especially effective in neutralizing the forces that obstruct Tantric Buddhist practice. It has ancient origins, first appearing in the Indian Rg Veda as the core blade of the vajra used by Indra to destroy the primordial cosmic snake Vritra. Kila, a peg or stake in 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.
