Virupa

Mahasiddha Virupa, a great yogi, was born in a royal family in eastern India around the 7th-8th century CE. He later gave up his life as a prince to become a monk. Virupa practiced Chakrasamvara every night and spent his days teaching, and writing about Dharma. Frustrated, he decided to stop all practices except for the Sutrayana. In an act of renunciation, he even threw his mala into the toilet.

That night, he had a dream. A blue goddess named Nairatmaya appeared and told him to stop acting wrongly. She told him to get his mala back, clean it, apologize for his mistake, and continue his practice properly. She explained that she was his karmic guide and promised that he would achieve his goal quickly with her help. Later, he performed miraculous acts like he controlled strong spirits with his powers. His story shows us to keep going even when life is hard. A Virupa statue reminds you that even in your hardest moments, breakthroughs are possible.
