Step into the hidden world of the Yakshas and Yakshinis, the ancient, semi-divine beings who bridge the gap between humans and gods. Often misunderstood, these powerful nature spirits are the legendary guardians of the earth's hidden treasures and the secret keepers of fertility and wealth.
In this comprehensive documentary-style video, we explore the deep history and spiritual significance of these beings across Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
What you will learn in this video:
• The Origin Story: Discover how the Supreme Father Brahma created the Yakshas to protect the waters, and learn the mystical legend of how the 36 Yakshinis were born from the sweat of Goddess Parvati.
• The King of Wealth: Meet Kubera, the king of the Yakshas and the treasurer of the gods, who rules from the magnificent city of Alakapuri in the Himalayas.
• The 36 Yakshinis of Tantra: We dive into the Uddamareshvara Tantra and Tantraraja Tantra to list the 36 principal Yakshinis—such as Surasundari and Manohari—explaining their unique powers, from granting immense wealth to predicting the future.
• Guardians of Faith: Explore their roles as Dharmapalas (Protectors) in Buddhism—including the transformation of Hariti—and as Shasanadevatas (Guardian Deities) for the Tirthankaras in Jainism.
• Art and Symbolism: Understand the "Shalabhanjika" motif and why Yakshinis are historically depicted in the nude or semi-nude, symbolizing fertility, primal energy, and the abundance of nature.
• Legends and Folk Tales: From the "Yaksha Prashna" in the Mahabharata to the vengeful Yakshis of Kerala, like Kanjirottu Yakshi, who is whispered to reside in the mysterious Vault B of the Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple.
Whether viewed as benevolent protectors or terrifying spirits, the Yakshas remain a vital part of Indian cultural and religious heritage.
