- Our limited Antique Tibetan Vajra is hand picked from Lhasa, Tibet with an original wood box. The 9 Prong Vajra is made of brass in a traditional manner with intricate carvings.
- The 9-prong design (eight on the outside and one in the middle) is one of the most commonly adopted designs, representing nine yanas in Vajrayana Buddhism (རྡོ་རྗེ་རྟ་ཅན་གྱི་ནང་བསྟན་)
- Traditionally used as part of tantric ritual with a Tibetan bell, Vajras have been gaining popularity in modern world, including the richest man in the world, as a decorative ornament.
In Tibetan traditions, the word Vajra can be translated into “diamond”, which can cut any substance without being damaged, or a “thunderbolt”, signifying irresistible force. In Hinduism, it is associated with the god Indra (associated with sky, lightning, weather, thunder, storms, rains, river flows, and war), who wields it as a weapon of strength and protection. The vajra's powerful symbolism underscores themes of spiritual power, resilience, and enlightenment.
The nine prongs on the Vajra symbolize the nine yanas, or nine vehicles, which represent the stages of a complete spiritual journey from birth to death. For a more in-depth understanding of the nine yanas, I recommend reading this excellent article.
The carvings on the Vajra incorporate various traditional Tibetan elements, such as the lotus and bodhi leaf. This makes it an ideal decorative piece for your home or a spiritual item to carry with you.
