Self-Initiation of Vajrabhairava

The texts presented here are an intermediate –length sadhana and a concise self-initiation ritual of the solitary Hero Vajrabhairava. After receiving the higest Yoga Tantra initiation of Vajrabhairava, and then completing the retreat of this deity, with the compensating ritual fire offering of peace, one is authorized to do the self-initiation. It is important to do the self-initiation in order to restore broken vows and tantric commitments. A sadhana must be done in conjunction with the self-initiation. The concise nature of the self-initiation will enable many practitioners to do this practice more frequently.
