The term Vajra has different meanings depending on the context, particularly in Hinduism and Buddhism.

1. In Hinduism:

• Vajra is most famously known as the weapon of Indra, the king of the gods. It is described as a powerful thunderbolt or lightning weapon that symbolizes both a tool of destruction and protection.
• The vajra is said to have been made from the spine of the sage Dadhichi, and it is indestructible. In some myths, Indra uses the vajra to defeat the demon Vritra, a dragon or serpent that embodies drought.

2. In Buddhism:

• In Tibetan Buddhism, vajra refers to a ritual object used in ceremonies. The vajra (or dorje in Tibetan) is a symbolic tool representing indestructibility and the immutable nature of reality.
• It is often paired with a bell (ghanta) in rituals. The vajra symbolizes the male principle of skillful means, while the bell represents the female principle of wisdom. Together, they symbolize the union of wisdom and compassion, which is central to the practice of Buddhism.
• Philosophically, it also represents the nature of the mind, which is unbreakable, pure, and strong.
