The terrifying deity that protects Buddhist monasteries | Art, Explained
"It not only grabs my attention and pulls me into this alternate reality, but it plays very much with issues that I find threatening."

I cannot even imagine what it would be like for someone who does not understand the meaning behind the images of Tibetan wrathful deities to wake up to a thangka like the one in this video. It would be a very scary experience for that person.

It depends on if the spirits are on your side or not 😂. Praise Mahakala… The protector of Dharma 🙏🏾

A nice presentation of a wonderful thangka of Panjaranatha Mahakala. Event though the speaker isn't a practitioner, it doesn't downplay it in any what 👍

Thank you for you being you❣️
Very interesting, informative and worthwhile video.
I really like the music used in this video.
Mahakala saved my life in Sri Lanka when a western man appeared suddenly and tried to throw me off a cliff! I prayed and instantly Mahakala appeared in a form that chased him away! THank you so much, dear Protector Angel!

Mahakala the protector of all, the kshetrapala of mother godess . We hindus also need to make more temples where we can pray to Mahakala bhairava in a proper tantric path. The sharp decline in the worship of Mahakala has been a catastrophe for hinduism. Hope we learn from our Buddhist friends. Jai mahakala bhairava, jai maa tara
" THANGKA " 🙏🙏🙏🙇♀️
I wonder the The Met also has Tangka for Vajrakilikilaya?
