'''Vajrayogini''' is a tantric Buddhist meditational deity, the most important of the dakinis, or sky-goers. She embodies the shakti (power) aspect of a buddha, the wisdom of experience, and the passion required to attain enlightenment. Her duality occurs in the fact that she is both a guide and an essence of what it means to be a buddha.
