 Hevajra Tantra   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The name is based on the male deity Hevajra, a personified symbol for the Buddhist concept of a supreme being in the state of nonduality, and as such he is most often depicted or visualized in union (Tib., yab-yum) with the goddess Nairatmya.
The Hevajra Tantra teaches the Union of Skillful Means and Profound Cognition; and states that such (sexual) union is helpful in achieving the powers known as siddhis.
The Hevajra Tantra is especially important in the Sakyapa tradition and served as a blueprint for Virupa's Lamdre text known as Vajragatha.

The Hevajra tantra belongs to the fourth tantra class, the Annutarayoga (the others being Kriya, Charya and Yoga) and is very important within the Kagyu and Sakya Schools.
Hevajra belongs to the "non-dual." In Tibet there exists many translations of "father" and "mother" tantras but there are only two of the "non-dual" tantras, these being the Kalachakra and Hevajra.
The Hevajra is the "profound non-dual tantra" and the Kalachakra is "the extensive non-dual tantra."

Hevajra, "the [syllable] `He' which is luminous or diamond-like," embraces his consort Nairatma, "she who is without ego." Hevajra appears in his eight-faced form, three on either side of his primary face, the eighth surmounting the others and enveloped by flames.
This particular manifestation of Hevaj ra is known as Hevajra Kapaladhara, "Hevajra who holds the kapala (skullcup)."1 Indeed, each hand holds a skullcup, those on his right containing animals: an elephant, a horse, a donkey, an ox, a camel, a man, a sarabha (a lion or a mythological animal), and a cat.
Garlands of skulls and severed heads adorn the otherwise naked Hevajra as he tramples on the four Maras, hindrances to Enlightenment.

 Mirrors of the Heart-Mind - Hevajra Essay
Hevajra also tramples on four nondescript beings in this painting that are intended to symbolize Mara, or Death; in the text itself, four beings of the Hindu pantheon are represented underfoot, namely, Brahma, creator of the Hindu pantheon, a yaksha, or male nature spirit, Yama, lord of death, and Indra, king of the gods.
Primarily, all heruka Buddhas emanate from the jina Buddha Akshobhya, and Hevajra's nature is one reflective of the mirror-like insight of the Buddha Akshobhya, as well as his representation of the Buddha-mind within the greater concept of Buddha-body, speech, and mind.
Further, the goal of this tantric meditational mandala is for the devotee to realize that he or she is the generator and the emanator of this particular system, and is therefore considered to be the paired-deity in the center of the painting.

A bronze figure of Hevajra; with eight heads in three registers; dancing on a recumbent figure with grooved lines on a double base; his sixteen hands holding his attributes; a large ‘butterfly' at the back of his sampot.
Hevajra is the principle deity on the Tantric path to Enlightenment.
The grooves on the recumbent figure, who represents evil preventing enlightenment, indicate that multiple figures, the four Mara, are represented; similarly, Hevajra's legs are grooved indicating that he has four legs.
