Buddhist Protector Black Mahakala's Miracles Documentary, and Mantra chanted by Yoko Dharma

Why is Mahakala associated with miracles and protection in Tibetan Buddhism? What do crows, three men in black, black dogs, black horses and black wolves have to do with Black Mahakala? How can wrathful Black Mahakala be considered none other than Chenrezig, Avalokiteshvara, the Lord of Compassion? In this short documentary, we answer these questions, and more, and end with a magnificent chanting of six-armed Mahakala's mantra by Yoko Dharma!
Crows, black dogs, wolves, horses and the "Men in Black" are recurring themes in many Tibetan Buddhist legends of Mahakala.
Mahakala is so well loved as a Protector that he is often simply called "The Great Black" and "The Lord."
Having a dream featuring a crow or black horse or black wolf is considered highly auspicious by many devout followers of Black Mahakala....
Full story of his miracles, followed by his Mantra chanted by the amazing Yoko Dharma!

I wept. I think I am drawn to him more than any other. I am a devotee of Kali and Mahakala seems to fill out that devotion, I feel complete, if that makes any sense. What is this love that overwhelms me when I look at his visage? I will not give up until the answers become complete to me.

Jai 🙏 mahakal Bhairav maharaj ki 🙏 in Indian culture we pray same deity as protector by the name of Kal (Dark) Bhairav… Kshetrapal meaning the Protector! .. Word Mahakal is usually reserved for Shiva the god of Compassion and Meditation similar to Avatilokeshwara…har har mahadev. Vajrayana Bhuddism has its roots in Buddhism from Indian Tantra and takes the knowledge, if I may use word Wisdom to next level. Every devotee of Kal Bhairava must see this video🙏 great job people and thank you for spreading knowledge 🤍

MAHAKALA is a Real God. Very Real. If you're searching for a true powerful God. When you pray mantra to Mahakala, you shall be Surprised that your prayers shall Manifest In just Days. Believe it or Not. 🌟

Some years ago I tried some meditations with the image of Mahakala and instead it came to my mind the name of Avalokiteshvara. I tried to search in the web this conection but could not find it at the time. I'm happy that now I have the confirmation.
