Double Dorje

: About Double Dorje
The double vajra or crossed vajra is formed from four lotus-mounted vajra heads that emanate from a central hub towards the four cardinal directions and symbolizes the principle of absolute stability. In the cosmographic description of Mount Meru a vast crossed vajra supports and underlies the entire physical universe. Similarly in the representation of the mandala, a vast crossed vajra serves as the immoveable support or foundation of the mandala palace and here the central hub of the vajra is considered to be dark blue in color with the four heads colored to represent the four directions-white (East), yellow (South), red (West) and green (North). These also correspond to the five elements and the buddhas of the five families with blue Akshobhya in the center. Read More
