Kurukulla Mantra lyrics:
OṂ KURUKLLE HRIḤ HUṂ SVAHA
More information:
Kurukulle or Kurukulla, also called Rigjedma, is the Tibetan Buddhist Goddess of Love, Lust, Sex, Magick, Enchantment, and Liberation.
She is very well known among Tibetans for her magical function of enchantment and the bewitching of the people in order to bring them under her power.
She is preeminently the Buddhist goddess of witchcraft and enchantment; however, in a real sense, she represents the empowerment of the feminine in a patriarchal milieu.
In Tibet, she is additionally called upon when commencing the building of the new monastery, undertaking new business or enterprise, etc.. to subdue and subjugate all demonic and human strengths that stand in one’s path.
Iconography
According to the writings, Kurukulle is 16 years old because sixteen is the ideal number signifying perfection. She has a wonderful face with a voluptuous body and is alluring. She is red in color for her magical function of enchantment and magnetism.
She is single-faced because she embodies non-dual knowledge beyond conventional distinctions of good and evil. She is naked is because she is unconditioned by discursive thoughts.
She has 4 arms because of 4 immeasurable states of mind, namely, love, empathy, joy, and serenity. She holds a bow and arrow entwined with flowers because she can give rise to thoughts of desire in others’ minds.
On her other hand, she holds a hook that attracts and summons them into her presence and nose to bind them to her will.
In addition, she wears human bone ornaments signifying the 5 perfections, and she herself embodies the 6th perfection of wisdom.
She wears a necklace of 50 freshly served human heads as she vanquishes 50 negative emotions. She is seen dancing as she is very energetic and active.
Her compassionate activity manifests in both Samsara and Nirvana.
She dances, treading upon a male human corpse as she enchants and subjugates demons of ego.
She stands on the red sun disc because her nature is hot and enflamed with passion, and she stands upon the red lotus blossom because she is the pure vision of enlightened awareness.
