Mandarava Buddhist Gods Symbols Pendant Dangle Charm

In Tantric Buddhism or Vajrayana, Mandarava is revered as a female guru-deity. In an extraordinary omen, Mandarava was born to a royal couple in Zahor, Northern India. Her mother was an incarnation of the female Buddha Pandaravasini, the consort of Amitabha, and her father was an incarnation of the Buddha's father, Suddhodana. Mandarava is regarded as wisdom, knowledge, or awareness Dakini. Some of her several names and incarnations include the yogini Mirukyi Gyenchen, 'Adorned with Human Bone Ornaments,' during the time of Marpa, Risulkyi Naljorma during the time of Nyen Lotsawa, and Drubpey Gyalmo during the period of Rechungpa. It is believed that Chushingi Nyemachen, the spiritual consort Maitripa, is none other than Mandarava.
