Invite the energy of Vaishravana (Tib. Namthosey), the directional protector-king of the North, into your spiritual space. Vaishravana, known as the embodiment of the Perfection of Generosity and the Lord of Wealth (associated with Jambhala), is an emanation of Ratnasambhava. As the guardian of material and spiritual prosperity, he is revered by many Tibetan Buddhist practitioners. Vaishravana is said to ensure that no monastery suffers poverty, as long as its residents maintain pure monastic vows and conduct. For those new to the Dharma, Je Tsongkhapa regarded Vaishravana as the most suitable dharmapala to support their early steps on the spiritual path.
Symbolism & Meaning
Vaishravana represents the abundance of generosity and the spiritual protection associated with the North. His blessings are vital for practitioners seeking prosperity and protection in both their spiritual and material lives. As the patron deity of monasteries, his presence ensures the well-being of communities that observe pure conduct, and he is particularly beneficial for those beginning their journey into Dharma.
