Original Hand-painted Akash Yogini /Jogini Original Masterpiece High-Quality Newari Pauva Painting Meditation/Tantra Art From Nepal

Akash Yogini is an awe-inspiring hand-painted Newari Pauva Thangka Painting masterpiece that depicts Vidyadhari, the Knowledge Holder. This original piece of art is deeply rooted in spiritual significance and cultural heritage.

In the Newar Buddhist tradition, Akash Yogini, the goddess of wisdom and enlightenment, is one of the four principal aspects of Vajrayogini. She is also known as Bijeshwori Devi, the Sky or space-going aspect of Vajrayogini. The Bijeshwori temple in Kathmandu, located above the western bank of the Bishnumati River on the road to Swyambhu, is essential to those who follow this tradition. It is specifically associated with the Indian Mahasiddha Maitripa, who practiced and realized this flying aspect of Vajrayogini.

The Newari Pauva is a canvas that is similar to Tibetan Thangkas. It is a testament to the artistic legacy of the Newar communities, which are the original inhabitants of the Kathmandu Valley. The Pauva is a gateway to the sacred, inviting the viewer into a meditative communion with the divine. It depicts celestial deities, intricate mandalas, and revered monuments. Each stroke and hue is imbued with spiritual significance, inviting contemplation and awakening a sense of reverence for the profound mysteries depicted.

Akash Yogini is portrayed in a flying posture with her right leg bent backward, and her left leg stretched upward, symbolizing her readiness to travel beyond the material world. Her red-colored body shines with brilliance like fire at the end of an eon, signifying Yoginithe's blazing of her inner fire, which destroys all delusion. Her three eyes represent her ability to see everything in the past, present, and future, and she looks up toward the Pure Land of the Dakinis, indicating that she leads her followers to high attainments, including the attainment of great bliss.

Her right-hand holds a curved knife, Kartika, marked with a Vajra on top. This represents her power to cut through the continuum of delusions and obstacles of all living beings. Her left hand holds a skull cup filled with blood, symbolizing her experience of the clear light of bliss and her victory over death. Her left shoulder supports a Khatanga marked with a Vajra, indicating that she has never been separated from her consort, Heruka. Her beautiful hair hangs freely down her back, symbolizing that she is free from the constraints of self-grasping. Her headdress is adorned with five human skulls representing Akash Yogini's purified aggregates. Her long necklace of fifty human skulls symbolizes her purified inner winds. She stands in the center of a blazing fire of holy wisdom, supported by a lotus that symbolizes the complete purity of her body, speech, and mind.

Overall, Akash Yogini is an outstanding work of art that reflects the rich cultural and spiritual heritage of the Newar communities. Its intricate details and symbolism invite the viewer to contemplate the profound mysteries of the universe and the path to enlightenment.
