  • Tibetan Deity Vajrapani is one of the earliest-appearing Bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism. He is the Protector and Guide of Gautama Buddha and rose to symbolize The Buddha's Power.
  • Vajrapani is depicted as having long dreadlocks that imply an esoteric aspect to his personality, evocative of Shiva; the large, asymmetrical ear ornaments only strengthen this association, as does the Gana-Type Guardian.
  • Cultural contact with the West continued throughout the first and second centuries under rulers who patronised Buddhism. It is in this context that Herakles or Hercules, the most popular Hero of Greece and Rome, makes his appearance in Buddhist Iconography as Vajrapani.
  • Vajrapani is an enlightened Buddhist deity, or Bodhisattva, who embodies the infinite energy of the liberated mind. Through recitation of the mantra “Om Vajrapani Hum”, one can learn to access the boundless and fiery energy which Vajrapani emits. Therefore, a mantra is an instrument of the mind.
    He is believed to be a manifestation of the Buddha Aksobhya and is often associated with Indra, the Hindu God of Rain and War who is also depicted holding a Lightning Bolt or Vajra. As a protector of Buddha, Vajrapani symbolizes the Power of Buddhahood and all Buddhas.
