The abbot of Gaden Sharste Khen Rinpoche Jangchub Choeden has this to say about Vajravidaran:  

"Vajravidaran is famous deity of cleaning body and mind in the esoteric Buddhism. It is very powerful in cleaning body, speech and mind from all kinds of possible spiritual and material contaminants. For millenniums, great Tibetan yogis lived long, healthy and prosperous life by relying on the practice of Vajravidaran and recitation of his mantra "NAMO CHANDRA VAJRA KRODHAYA HULU HULU TISHTA TISHTA BENDA BENDA HANA HANA AMRITE HUM PHAT". Through the infinite power of Vajravidaran one can benefit self and others by cleaning body, speech and mind. Meditation of Vajravidaran is specially effective and appropriate for persons, who need to clean their body, mind or spirit from spiritual and physical contaminants. It is also helpful for the patients and healers in order to boost their physical and spiritual energy."
