'''Garab Dorje''' ([[dga' rab rdo rje]]), Skt. Surati Vajra, Prahevajra, Pramoda Vajra. The incarnation of [[Semlhag Chen]], a god who earlier had been empowered by the buddhas. Immaculately conceived, his mother was a nun, the daughter of [[King Uparaja]] ([[Dhahenatalo]] or [[Indrabhuti]]) of [[Uddiyana]]. Garab Dorje received all the [[tantras, statements and instructions]] of Dzogchen from [[Vajrasattva]] and [[Vajrapani]] in person and became the first human vidyadhara in the Dzogchen lineage. Having reached the state of complete enlightenment through the effortless Great Perfection, Garab Dorje transmitted the teachings to his retinue of exceptional beings. [[Manjushrimitra]] is regarded as his chief disciple. [[Padmasambhava]] is also known to have received the transmission of the Dzogchen tantras directly from Garab Dorje's wisdom form. Garab Dorje means 'Indestructible joy.'
