 Yamāntaka, यमान्तक, the god who terminate and transcend death. He has 34 arms, blue skin, with crown made by skull on his bullhead, yellow/orange eyebrow which represents fire. His first name literally means the conqueror of death. His full name is Shri Bhagavan Yamantaka. Shri means sancility and auspicious. Bhagavan means misery and horror. He’s duty is to conquer the death, fight against evil, and protect the goodness. The new form of the avatar is even more horrific and deadly. Different elements are use to symbolize the avatar, in this case mainly fire. But also the other nature elements are exposed in the work, altogether; earth, air, water, fire. When Yama decided to kill everyone in Tibet, he transformed himself into Yamantaka, similar to Yama but ten times more powerful and horrific.

The interesting part of Yamantaka is how he got no fear to death. This could be something to think about when ‘The fear of death is worse than death itself.’ Live our lives. Our life questions and concept are based on the cycle of life and death. Life and death could all be a start or an end. When we are aware of the importance of life, we find a balance to live the best of our lives, without fear.
