The Vajra •

The vajra is a sacred symbol and ritual object in Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism, representing spiritual power, strength, and enlightenment. Derived from the Sanskrit word for "diamond" or "thunderbolt," the vajra is often depicted as a short metal rod with a spherical or cylindrical head, symbolizing indestructibility, spiritual power, and protection. In Buddhist and Hindu rituals, the vajra is used for purification, protection, and initiation, and is associated with deities such as Indra, the Hindu god of thunder, and Vajrapani, a Buddhist bodhisattva who represents spiritual power and protection.
