She who magnetises duality

Kurukulla (ku ru ku le / ཀུ་རུ་ཀུ་ལས་) or Rig Jèdma (rig byed ma་/ རིགས་བྱད་མ་) Red ‘joyous’ manifestation of Drölma (sGrol ma / སྒྲོལ་མ་ / Tara) also known as Wang-gi Lhamo (dBang gi lha mo / དབང་གི་ལཧ་མོ་) or Dra-mi-nyen (sGra mi sNyan / སྒྲ་མི་སྙན་) means strident sound.
Kulla means ‘family’, so Kurukulla means ‘of the family of strident sound’.

Khandro Déchen comments:
‘The sense of ‘strident sound’ relates to her nondual lasciviousness – the nondual impropriety of her total appreciation. Her ‘strident’ sound is merely strident in the ears of those who are timid and afraid of their own existence.

Kurukulla is said, according to folk custom, to be of assistance to those seeking romantic partners – but her activity as a yidam concerns the transformation of obsession.

Kurukulla transforms obsession into nondual desire through her unbridled vajra lust.
