Kalachakra, Powerful Tantric Union, Nepal, Thangka large 64 inches tall x 38 inches wide (overall); 32 inches x 23.5 inches (image size).
Beautifully hand painted sacred image of the 'Wheel of Time' depicts the extraordinary yidam of the highest Tantra. The central concern of
the Kalachakra system is developing a view of time, via Tantric (male/female energy union) practice, that ultimately defines time as
timeless. This deity is referred to as 'Mother Tantra' and is highly regarded in all Tibetan Buddhist schools. Kalachakra 'Outer teaching' is concerned with astronomy, astrology and mathematics; "Inner Teachings " the body and its energy channels; " Secret
Teaching" meditation. The deity with consort stands on the figures of Kamadeva and Rudra; two Hindu goddesses. The male, Kalachakra,
carries symbolic Buddhist implements; the sword, wheel, drum, Ganta Bell, Vajra, etc. The female, Vishvamata (mother of all) holds other
symbolic items; knife, hook, rosary, skull, lotus, etc. The two are wrathful (to frighten away demons) and in deep Tantric embrace fusing
time and the timeless into a non-dual vision in which neither polarity is suppressed.
Created as a work of devotion, it is a one-of-a-kind piece. Highly detailed and lovingly painted, it was created by a master thangka artist in Nepal. A beautiful example of the artistry that is spiritual
craftsmanship internationally known.

The sound of the Ganta (bell) is regarded as auspicious in Tibet; it is used to drive away negative attachments. The Ganta represents wisdom, the feminine principle. Its consort is the Vajra which represents the compassion of the Buddha, the masculine principle. To achieve enlightenment, these two principles must be combined.
This is a powerful and ancient set with detail worn by devotional use. It carries the five leaf lotus markings inside; rare. - dimensions: 7 tall x 3.5 diameter - (09/07#19) - larger photos are available

Ganta/Vajra set; the Star pattern inside most unusual and unique - This is a remarkable and potent Ganta and Dorje set. The Ganta Bell is the ultimate universal symbol of transcendent wisdom, (feminine). The Vajra, (Dorje), is the representation of the masculine aspect or compassion - this is of-course true for all Ganta/Vajra sets. It is difficult to find a set still intact it's voice is strong, enduring, piercing yet it sings poorly (perhaps for lack of use). 8" tall x 4" diameter - (10/06#5) - note a nice case, made to fit perfectly, is included.

Ganta/Vajra set; 17th - 18th century
This is a remarkable and potent Ganta and Dorje set. They were found on the Tibetan/Nepalese boarder by Lama Nurbu, very old and powerful alter pieces. The Ganta Bell is the ultimate universal symbol of transcendent wisdom, (feminine). The Vajra, (Dorje), is the representation of purity, the transcendental state of "emptiness", the masculine aspect or compassion.
The Ganta and the Dorje are always used together. In practice, the ringing of the bell calls beings to practice, and warns off malign influences and is also a musical offering.
It is difficult to find a set still intact and that also plays well, with strong, enduring, piercing overtones as this one reports. 7” high x 3.75” diameter - (05/05#22)

At the ever expanding terminus of the known phenomenal universe, on the pulsating edge of time and space, the mind titers on the precarious apex of consciousness. Here the world of perception and imagination commingle; here we find 'Event Horizon'.
Karma Sonam Dorje is a Vajrayana Buddhist practitioner and a life long pilgrim to the sacred Himalayas.
This recording is from a live performance using the complex voices of a single Earth Gong. It is the sound of the the 'Still-Point' within, the seed energy syllable 'AUM'.
Sonam creates transformational healing waves of sound bathing the listener with rising and falling rhythms and vibrations of the Universal Chord; the vibrational signature of the Earth as it revolves around the Sun.

The Tibetan word 'Terma' means hidden treasure, the word 'Yana' a path or vehicle. This sound meditation was created with the multi-tonal voice of a 'Earth' Gong tuned to the vibrational signature of Ghia's nearly eternal dance with Sol.
Weaving overtones carry the listener down corridors and through portals into the domain of transcendence. It is a journey of profound reverberation for within the sound 'Mandala' are conduits penetrating realms of physical, mental and spiritual healing.
Here "Dragons-be-Found"; fundamental phantasms, unfolding clarity and the clear light of unhindered mind.
Sip at the elixir of Dharmakaya (unwavering truth) and bath in it's soothing harmonies.
I am a singer and shared the feeling that I thought the Gong Bath had done something to my voice. Well it has - my vocal range goes lower now, which has just loosened up the rest of range - it's amazing!
