Namaskarams to Adi Shakthiji , Thank you for your

post on Akhilandehwari which has kindled my thoughts to write on Her. She who is

at Tiruchirappali is " Maha Vaarahi "-- also known as "Dhandini". As the name

implies She has the Face of a boar. At Madurai Lalitha Parabhattarika is as

"Manthrini " . Dhandini is the sena nayaki or the Chief Of army and Manthrini is

the chief of ministers of lalitha Mahatripurasundari. The Anga Devathas of

Mahatripura Sundari are Manthrini, Vaarahi and Bala. These Devathas in

turn have Prathyanga devathas. Speaking on Vaarahi -- Her Anga Devatha is '

Laghu Varthaaliamba" and upanga devathas are " Swapna Vaarahi" and

"Thiraskarinamba". Pujya Sri Anna says -- Lalitha Devi's " Ahamkara" swarupa is

Maha Vaarahi and Her " Bhuddhi " swarupa is Mathangi or Manthrini. Focussing our

discussion on the Maha Vaarahi -- The Akhilanda koti Brahmanda koti Nayaki or

the Akhilaneshwari : The Bhavanopanishad says : She is adhi devatha of dhathus,

is the father of this body and Kurukulla the bali devatha, the Adi devatha of

Mamsa ( Meat of our body ) is the mother. It is some what peculiar to note that

describing her in the form of Father in the upanishad, for which Bhaskaracharya

explains : Though Vaarahi is undoubtedly feminine in nature, as She has the

Masculine face she is considered as Father. In Devi Bhagawath, Agni purana And

Padma purana there are accounts of Mahavishnu taking form as Varaha or the Boar

to lift the earth to its original place when it slid into

water. It was possible for Mahavishnu only with the help of feminine shakthi

Vaarahi . Manu the son of Brahma prayed to Bhuvneshwari for this to be done when

Vaarahi appeared. Also in the Eighth Chapter of the great Purana Devi Mahaatmeym

Vaarahi who is one of the seven emanations of Kausik Durga, faught the Demon the

Raktha Bhija. This implies that Vaarahi is all consuming power of assimilation.

Mother Vaarahi is the power of tenacity to accomplish whatever has been willed..

The cosmic power of Her manifestation is that she provides the universe with

Food and also " the Universe is Her Food ".--- She is the All consuming power in

the Cosmos. In Vedas She is denoted as the Supreme Day ( Vara -- Ha ). So it

conveys the meaning " Devourer of darkness " or Ignorance. It is believed by

sadhaks who have the singular aim of Mooksha in this birth, take to extreme

Vaarahi Upasana. She would easily lead the Sadhak to the True Knowledge and She

only grants Moksha and not Bhoga. At

Akhilandeswari temple to reduce the Ugraha of Devi , Adi Shankara had installed

the Sri chakra in Her thatanka and She Faces her son the Majestic Maha Ganapathy

who must be atleast eight feet in height. I wish every sadhak should have the

darshan of Vaarahi at Trichy and manthrini at Madurai. At Trichy they would get

an additional bonus of wasinhg their sins at the Punya nadhi Kaveri. Jai
