Vajrapani is regarded as one of the earliest and most powerful Bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism, symbolizing the strength and might of all the Buddhas. As the embodiment of Buddha's power, Vajrapani is often depicted as a fierce protector, using his strength to conquer inner demons and external challenges. His presence serves as a reminder that true strength is not about violence but about wisdom and compassion. Invoking Vajrapani offers practitioners protection, courage, and the ability to overcome obstacles on their spiritual journey.
