Vajrayogini is a fierce and powerful female deity in Tibetan Buddhism, revered as the supreme tantric goddess and known as the Queen of the Dakinis. She embodies the enlightened energy of transformation, wisdom, and the direct path to awakening. Often depicted in a dynamic and wrathful form, Vajrayogini symbolizes the cutting through of ego, ignorance, and negative emotions to reveal the true nature of reality. She is an important figure in Vajrayana Buddhism, especially in the practice of highest yoga tantra, where she represents the union of compassion and wisdom (prajñā). Her iconography — including a skull cup of blood, flaying knife (kartika), crown of skulls, and her posture on subjugated beings — reflects her role in destroying delusions and attachments that bind beings to samsara (the cycle of suffering).
