"Vajrayogini is in a class of deities called
Dakini in Highest yoga Tantra. She is also called Naro-Dakini.
She is a celestial female Buddha form who manifested herself in
an initiatory vision to the great Pandit Mahasiddha Naropa (956-1040).
She is also called Sarva Buddha Dakini. Dakinis can be human, or
non-human who can traverse through the air. She possesses supernatural
wisdom and power and can assist the practicioner of Vajrayana in
eliminating obstacles and obstructions to practice. She can even
confer great siddhi of liberation and omniscience."
"She holds a kartri in her right hand and
a skull bowl in her left. She carries a garland of severed heads
and tramples upon her own emanations Bhairaba and Kalaratri beneath
her feet. She holds a khatvanga at the crook of her elbow parallel
to her body position. She is almost naked but wears various ornaments."
"In the Kathmandu valley several temples
dedicated to Vajrayogini are found. They are power centers of Nepalese
Vajrayana tradition. She is said to be the consort of Heruka Chakrasamvara."
