About the Product
Brief Introduction
Iconography
The two-armed Mahakala called Bernakchen is a protector of the Karma Kagyu school. It is often thought to be the primary protector but it is actually the main protector of the Karmapas specifically.
This protective deity is described as figures possessing stout bodies short but thick and strong limbs. His flaming hair decorated with a crown of skulls rises from his forehead while a circle of flames dance around him. His face possesses a typical wrathful expression. The mouth is contorted to an angry smile from its corners protrude long fangs. The protruding bloodshot eyes have an angry and staring expression and usually a third eye is visible in the middle of the forehead.
In his right hand he holds a chopper which symbolizes the cutting through of negative patterns such as aggression hatred and ignorance. In his left hand he holds a skull cup a ritual element typically filled with blood or human brain matter. He is seen standing on the corpse of two human bodies thus symbolizing the death of negativities and the complete uprooting of negative patterns to such a point that like a dead body they will not come to life.
