Mahakala, a protector of the Buddhist teachings, is also known as the chief dharmapala. Dharmapalas are basically Buddhas who undertake the role of removing obstacles on the path of practitioners.The objective of Mahakala is to assist practitioners in removing anything that impedes their practice, as well as to encourage exertion and devotion and at the same time purify obscurations and wrongdoings. Blessings will be bestowed and obstacles will be removed if one prays earnestly to Mahakala.
So long as one attends the prayer sessions and continually makes prayers and offerings to Mahakala, the protections of Mahakala and His retinue will not depart from oneself until perfect awakening is experienced. Mahakala prayers also foster peacefulness in a country, harmony at home and better career prospects.
