Guest guest Posted February 26, 2002 Report Share Posted February 26, 2002 And now reading this description of Varahi I just realized that I had a dream telling me Mahesh may drop the body. After all I said in the dream that he was looking more like Varaha. If Varahi is Yama's energy then this might make sense. I am just trying to make sense of this weird dream. Thanks everyone for being patient. , "nora55_1999" <nora55_1999> wrote: > The classic text of the Devi Mahatmya, tells a story of how sakthis > emerged from each of the Gods to aid the Supreme Goddess in fighting > the asuras (demons).
