Yamantaka is a wrathful emanation of Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom. Yamantaka means “Destroyer of Death” or "Conqueror of Death” and is a meditational deity (Tib: yi-dam) of the Highest Yoga Tantra class. Therefore, this purification ritual is most powerful in purifying, healing, pacification of all negativities and protection from negative effect of elemental pollutions etc. This ritual is also very effective for those who are suffering from strokes and mental anxiety etc.

All the teachings will be dedicated to the awakening of much needed compassion for world peace.
