Kailash Raj’s art, as always, is marvelous. We are so grateful to you for allowing your team to do these special canvases for us. Rarely do we see this caliber of art in modern times. Kailash Ji has taken the Swaminaryan monks’ suggestions to heart and executed each one with accuracy and a spiritual touch.

An Experience Of Tantra

More terrifying than the demons of western religious hells, the wrathful deities of Buddhism are a bit of a counter-intuitive element. While the beauty of the Buddha and the bodhisattva pantheon lies in their characteristic calm, the Tantric deities in this section have a ferocious and erotic persona - wrathful composure of countenance, garlands of severed human heads, and multiple limbs with weapons in each of them. These deities emerged in the meditative imaginations of ancient Buddhist rishis and munis, as archetypal forces from the depths of the individual unconscious, as protectors and guardians. They weed as much of adharm that besots the mind, and overpower whatever it is that lies in our path to enlightenment.

Because Tantra begins at the highest point, the devotee needs to emulate their chosen deity whilst setting off on the path to enlightenment. It is through projecting oneself on to such fierce forms that one could vanquish the adharmic elements within. The sculptors who made these icons are putting in visual form their own archetypal forces that have helped them in their respective paths. In other words, each of these pieces are authentic and powerful. The finest of signature Nepalese media such as indigenous wood (pigmented) and exquisite copper (gilded), durable and uncompromising on the aesthetics, are to be found in this section. Perceiving these pieces as protective and guardian icons as opposed to base demons would do to your space a world of dharmic good.

The Many Forms of Mahakala, Protector of Buddhist Monasteries

"Each of the three forms of Mahakala has some distinctly different qualities and aspects.... The continuous counting of the rosary is a symbol of perpetual activity, which Mahakala achieves on a cosmic scale.... An elephant-headed entity lying crushed under his legs represents our instinctive, primary animal force and urge... The blazing fire surrounding him demonstrates his powerful energy out to consume all neurotic states of minds.... Mahakala's typical blackness symbolizes his all-embracing, comprehensive nature, because it is the hue into which all other colors merge; it absorbs and dissolves them. Just as all colors disappear in black, so do all names and forms melt into that of Mahakala. Black is also the total absence of color, again signifying the nature of Mahakala as ultimate reality.... He is the transcendent-time (maha-kala), absolute, eternal, measureless, and ever present."

Wrathful Guardians of Buddhism - Aesthetics and Mythology

"An enigmatic aspect of Buddhist iconography is the presence of wrathful, terrifying forms. Though these awesome, hair-raising images seem contradictory to Buddhist ideals, they are not personifications of evil or demonic forces. Rather they symbolize the violence that is a fundamental reality of the cosmos in general, and of the human mind in particular. In addition to destroying the passions of the mind, the purpose of gods is to protect the faithful. The wrathful deities, who symbolize the tremendous effort it takes to vanquish evil, especially perform this function."
