Invoking <strong>and</strong> Becoming <strong>the</strong> Wisdom Deities<br />

Invoke <strong>the</strong> wisdom deities, Padmanarteśvara <strong>and</strong> Vajravalāsinī, with <strong>the</strong> mantra of invocation. As you<br />

recite <strong>the</strong> mantra, perform Vajra Hūṃkāra Mudrā (Gesture of Indestructible Embrace) by crossing your<br />

arms with <strong>the</strong> right arm over <strong>the</strong> left, <strong>the</strong> palms of your h<strong>and</strong>s facing inwards <strong>to</strong>wards you as you hold <strong>the</strong><br />

vajra <strong>and</strong> bell. Recite <strong>the</strong> mantra boldly in Sanskrit <strong>and</strong> in English:<br />

vajra samaya<br />

“Come here <strong>and</strong> honor your vow!”<br />

Think that <strong>the</strong> actual god <strong>and</strong> goddess appear in <strong>the</strong> sky in front of you in sexual union. To comm<strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

actual wisdom deities <strong>to</strong> dissolve in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> visualized pledge deities, recite <strong>the</strong> four mantra syllables “jaḥ<br />

hūṃ vaṃ hoḥ” <strong>and</strong> perform <strong>the</strong> corresponding h<strong>and</strong> gestures. With elbows bent, arms at <strong>the</strong> waist,<br />

h<strong>and</strong>s in vajra fists, place <strong>the</strong> right forefinger over <strong>the</strong> left pinky for “jaḥ,” place <strong>the</strong> left forefinger over<br />

<strong>the</strong> right pinky for “hūṃ,” place <strong>the</strong> right forefinger over <strong>the</strong> left pinky <strong>and</strong> hook <strong>the</strong> forefinger with <strong>the</strong><br />

pinky for “vaṃ,” <strong>and</strong> keeping <strong>the</strong> fingers hooked, pull both arms upwards <strong>to</strong>wards you from <strong>the</strong> elbows<br />

for “hoḥ:”<br />

jaḥ hūṃ vaṃ hoḥ<br />

“jaḥ” means “may <strong>the</strong> adamantine hook attract” - <strong>the</strong> wisdom deities are invited.<br />
