Vajrayogini (Buddhist Deity)-Krodha Kali (Wrathful Black Varahi).

Vajrayogini (Sanskrit: Vajrayogini; Tibetan: Dorje Naljorma, Wylie: Rdo rje rnal byor ma) is the Vajra yogini, literally 'the diamond female yogi'. She is a Highest Yoga Tantra Yidam, and her practice includes methods for preventing ordinary death, intermediate state (bardo) and rebirth (by transforming them into paths to enlightenment), and for transforming all mundane daily experiences into higher spiritual paths. Vajrayogini is a generic female yidam and although she is sometimes visualized as simply Vajrayogini, in a collection of her sadhanas she is visualized in an alternate form in over two thirds of the practices. Her other forms include Vajravarahi (Tibetan: Dorje Pakmo, Wylie: rdo-rje phag-mo; English: the Vajra Sow) and Krodikali (alt. Krodhakali, Kalika, Krodhesvari, Krishna Krodhini, Sanskrit; Tibetan:Troma Nagmo; Wylie:khros ma nag mo; English: 'the Wrathful Lady' or 'the Fierce Black One' ). Vajrayogini is a dakini and a Vajrayana Buddhist meditation deity. As such she is considered to be a female Buddha.
