More information

Vajravarahi is depicted in her 'sky-dancing' pose, with her left leg pressing down an adoring male deity, and her right leg in the yogin/yogini's pose of meditation. Often misunderstood for a sign of domination, the trampling on other divine beings is a manifestation by the yogin or yogini identified with Vajravarahi, as domination of his or her own negative mental attitudes and habits, not the domination of an outward physical being.
