Friday Evening Session (7:00PM CST): Kurukulle Empowerment
Kurukullē – The Goddess of Magnetizing Wisdom
Kurukullē is a red, radiant manifestation of enlightened magnetism, embodying the power of love, attraction, and spiritual influence. She is often regarded as a magnetizing aspect of Tara or Vajrayoginī, expressing the dynamic energy that draws beings toward virtue, harmony, and awakening.
In iconography, Kurukullē is depicted as red in color, symbolizing passion transformed into wisdom. She dances gracefully within a circle of flames, holding a bow and arrow made of flowers, a hook, and a lasso—symbols of her ability to attract and draw beings into the Dharma. Her appearance is both fierce and beautiful, representing the union of compassion and power.
Kurukullē’s blessings are invoked to:
-
Magnetize positive conditions and supportive relationships
-
Enhance spiritual influence and eloquence
-
Transform desire into wisdom and love
-
Overcome obstacles and harmonize the mind
At the deepest level, Kurukullē embodies the magnetizing activity of all Buddhas—the power to draw all beings into the path of awakening through compassion, joy, and radiant wisdom.
