The sixth of the Dasa Mahavidyas, is the most awe inspiring Devata. Not only in Hindu Tantra but Chinnamastā finds herself prominent in the pantheon of Tibetan Tantric deities as Vajravairochani. Her stunningly ferocious imagery naturally invokes fear and trepidation, matched only by the effects that her sadhana can cause to a seeker. In Tibetan Buddhism , She is also referred to as Chinnamunda, who, some scholars believe is a form of Vajravarahi. The term vajra denotes an indestructible purity and is often added as a prefix to the names of different spiritual beings.

Hinduism’s greatest quality is condensed in this line from Swami Vivekananda’s 1893 Chicago speech "As the different streams having their sources in different paths which men take through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to Thee." Hinduism has always embraced multiple ways and methods of worship. Because this is a base core concept. No one can point to another person and declare "You are doing it wrong! Do it this way!". This way of thinking makes Hinduism into an opensource religion and overall makes it stronger. Much like opensource code, this gives it a lot of benefits. 1. First, it is open access.
