Vajrapani is a prominent deity in Buddhism and Hinduism, particularly in the Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions. The name "Vajrapani" means "thunderbolt in hand" and is associated with the power and strength of a thunderbolt. Vajrapani is often depicted as a fierce and powerful deity, representing the energy of enlightenment. In Buddhism, Vajrapani is considered one of the three major bodhisattvas, along with Avalokiteshvara and Manjushri. He is believed to be a protector and guardian of the Buddha and his teachings and is often depicted in artwork holding a vajra (thunderbolt) in one hand and a lasso in the other, symbolizing his ability to both destroy ignorance and bring beings closer to enlightenment. In Hinduism, Vajrapani is known as Vajra or Vajrin and is associated with the god Indra. He is often depicted riding on a white elephant and is believed to represent the power of lightning and thunder. In some Hindu traditions, Vajrapani is also considered a protector deity, particularly in relation to the practice of tantra. Vajrapani is also a common figure in Tibetan Buddhism, where he is considered an important protector deity. He is often depicted with a wrathful expression, symbolizing his ability to protect practitioners from negative energies and obstacles on the path to enlightenment. In Tibetan Buddhism, Vajrapani is also associated with the practice of Chod, a meditative practice aimed at cutting through ego and attachment.
