Hevajra

This page is for research and translations on Shri Hevajra. One of Marpa the Translator’s main yidam deities and still widely practiced in Karma Kagyu and Drikung Kagyu lineages. The majority of the Hevajra empowerments given outside of Tibet in recent times have been from the Drikung Kagyu (from the Marpa-Ngog lineage), from teachers such as HH Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang and HE 8th Garchen Rinpoche.
