    I cannot even imagine what it would be like for someone who does not understand the meaning behind the images of Tibetan wrathful deities to wake up to a thangka like the one in this video. It would be a very scary experience for that person.

    A nice presentation of a wonderful thangka of Panjaranatha Mahakala. Event though the speaker isn't a practitioner, it doesn't downplay it in any what 👍

    Mahakala saved my life in Sri Lanka when a western man appeared suddenly and tried to throw me off a cliff! I prayed and instantly Mahakala appeared in a form that chased him away! THank you so much, dear Protector Angel!

    Mahakala the protector of all, the kshetrapala of mother godess . We hindus also need to make more temples where we can pray to Mahakala bhairava in a proper tantric path. The sharp decline in the worship of Mahakala has been a catastrophe for hinduism. Hope we learn from our Buddhist friends. Jai mahakala bhairava, jai maa tara
