Revision as of 16:11, 10 March 2013

A man-eating demon of Indian mythology. There are many different interpretations of Yaksini. In Hinduism, they are considered evil demons, but in Buddhism they are considered protectors of wealth. They are related to Kali. Their male counterparts are called Yaksa. Yaksa appear as powerfully-built men, while Yaksini appear as beautiful, voluptuous women.

Hariti, the Indian goddess who symbolizes fertility and prosperity, is considered a Yaksini. According to legend, although Hariti had 1.000 children of her own whom she cared for deeply, she attacked and ate human children. Buddha, seeing this, hid Hariti's favorite child away from her to make her suffer. Buddha said to her, "This is the suffering that comes from loosing just one of 1.000 children. Can you imagine the sorrow of a human mother whose only has been eaten?" Hariti had a change of heart, and from that day forward she ate pomegranates instead of children. It was in this way that she became a symbol of fertility and prosperity. This is also why pomegranates are considered symbols of fertility and prosperity in China.
