Vajrayogini is a class of deities called Dakini in Highest Yoga Tantra. Vajrayogini is also called Naro Dakini. Vajrayogini is a celestial female Buddha form who manifested herself in an initiatory vision to the great Pandit Mahasiddha Naropa (956 – 1040). Vajrayogini is also called Sarva Buddha Dakini. Dakinis can be human, or non-human who can traverse through air. Vajrayogini possesses supernatural wisdom and power and can assist the practitioner of Vajrayana in eliminating obstacles and obstruction to their practice. Vajrayogini can even confer great Siddhi of liberation and omniscience.

Vajrayogini carries a garland of severed heads and tramples upon her own emanations Bhairabha and Kalaratri beneath her feet. Vajrayogini holds a Khatvanga at the crook of her elbow parallel to her body position. Vajrayogini is almost naked but wears various ornaments.

In Kathmandu valley several temples dedicated to Vajrayogini are found. They are power centers of Nepalese Vajrayana tradition. Vajrayogini is said to be the consort of Heruka Chakrasamvara.
