Vajrakilaya history

The wrathful heruka Vajrakilaya is a yidam deity who embodies the enlightened activity of all the Buddhas, manifesting in an intensly wrathful yet compassionate form in order to subjugate the delusion and negativity that can arise obstacles to the practice of Dharma. In fact the practice of Vajrakilaya is famous in the Tibetan Budhist world as the most powerfull for removing obstacles, destroying the forces hostile to compassion, and purifyng the spiritual pollution so prevalent in this age.
