Jalandhara: the Net Holder
(Abhayadatta Shri #46. Vajrasana #36)

Born and raised as a Brahmin in Turkara City, Jalandhara one day became disgusted with the world he saw around him and renounced his worldly life to meditate in a charnel ground. He entered a state of heightened consciousness and heard the voice of a Dakini coming out of the sky saying he was to learn about absolute truth. He continually called in prayer to the Dakini until eventually, she appeared before him. She gave him the initiation into the practices of the Hevajra Tantra and instructions on Perfection Stage yoga, telling him to meditate on the indivisibility of appearance and emptiness. Jalandhara did these practices for seven years and achieved the ultimate realization, Mahamudra. He spent the rest of his life working selflessly for the good of all beings until he entered the pure realm of Khechari accompanied by three hundred students. (Abhayadatta Tradition, folio 193).

In Himalayan art 'yoga appearance' is characterized by [1] few clothes, often wearing only a single white garment and partially naked, [2] deliberate postures, [3] long hair, [4] a red meditation belt and sometimes with a [5] bowl at the side. Yoga appearance is very similar to mahasiddha appearance. Mahasiddhas can be depicted as having one of three types of appearance [1] lay person, [2] monastic, or [3] mahasiddha. Yoga appearance is generally simple and more austere. Mahasiddha appearance is slightly more complex with the yogi taking on the adornments of a wrathful deity as described in the Buddhist Tantric literature. Generally these added embellishments are garlands of bone ornaments, necklaces, belts, bracelets and a crown.

The most famous yogis in Tantric Buddhism are the Indian siddha Virupa, also known as the Lord of Yoga (yogeshvara), and all other Indian Buddhist siddhas that are depicted in mahasiddha appearance, Jalandhara, Padampa Sanggye, etc. The principal Tibetan yogis are Milarepa, Ling Repa, Tangtong Gyalpo and Tsang Nyon Heruka.

Accomplished women practitioners and teachers are universally known as Yoginis, which is not the case with the male teachers and accomplished practitioners. The best Indian examples are Niguma and Sukhasiddhi. The most famous Tibetan Yoginis are Yeshe Tsogyal and Machig Labdron.
