[Guest guest]

lakshmiji requests

 

( Please do write about varahi in Sri LalitAmbikas army.)

My pleasure !

 

 

Goddess Varahi is one of the Saptamatrukas (Mothers) created from

the boar avatara of Lord MahaVishnu. She is classed as the fifth

among the seven "mother-like" divinities. Except for Chamundi all

the Saptamathrukas represent the female (Shakthi) aspects of the

various Gods. Thus, Brahmani represents Brahma, Maheshvari

represents Shiva, Kaumari represents Skanda or Muruga, Vaishnavi

represents Vishnu, Varahi represents Varaha, the boar incarnation of

Vishnu and Indrani that of Indra and Chamundi is the annihilator of

Chamunda.

 

 

 

Varahi is the Shakthi energy of the Vishnu Avatar Varaha. She is

often associated with Goddess Kamala (one of the Mahavidyas). She is

also called the Danda-natha or Lady Commander of the forces of the

mother-goddess, symbolizing the might of SriVidya. Varahi is

also "Vakdevi" on the snout of Varaha avatara of Lord Vishnu. This

Vak (word) is the power of speech of Vishnu in His manifestation

as "Yajna Varaha".

 

Varahi has dominion over the intellect (Bhuddhi) and is worshiped

through dhyana yoga. As Varahi she destroys evil forces that

obstructs the devotees' progress, paralyses the enemies, and leads

the devotees ultimately to Sri-Vidya. With Kurukulla, she is

accorded the parental status to Sri-Chakra (Lalita Tripura-Sundari).

While Kurukulla represents the full moon, Varahi represents the new-

moon. And while Varahi represents the illumination (prakasha)

aspects of the mother-goddess, Kurukulla is the "deliberation"

(vimarsa) aspect. In another aspect, Varahi is also said to be one

of the Yoginis, taking the form of a boar. She is said to lift up

the earth with her tusks to confer benefits on all creatures. She is

imagined as an eight-armed and three-eyed lady with a face of a hog,

seated under a Palmyra tree and functioning as a trusted attendant

of the Goddess as her chief counselor. In this form, she is known as

Chaitanya-bhairavi (the devotee's association of strength). She is

being described as a fierce (Maha-Ghora) and as Commander of the

forces, she moves about in a chariot drawn by boars. She is said to

reside in the ocean of sugar-cane juice (ikshu), one of the four

oceans that surrounds the mother goddess, holding her court in the

island of nine-jewels and facing the mother-goddess.

LAKSHMIJI , ON ANOTHER NOTE - HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE EXPRESSION 'male

chavinist pigs '? They are not 'pigs' BUT they refer to the male

species among the humans who at the slightest provation put a woman

down ! AND WHY SO ? this is very relevant to your doshapariharnam

series ?

 

why does anyone put down any other person ? ( specially why do men

put woman down ? It is their own 'insecurities' or feelings of

worthlessness or low self-esteem that makes a person put down

another person ? if i am ok, you are ok ! if i am not ok, you are

not ok ! this is called transactional analysis - it is very popular

in psychology circles - its chief proponent is Eric Berne during

the late 1950s.

 

so, we need more 'varahis' in this material world to fight

the 'varahas' among us ! smile !

Dhanayasarsvatiji namaste,

Thank you for the links and the details about Varahi.

Varahis or varahas, they really dont make any difference to me, at this point of life. So I have no comments to write.

 

Thanks to vedanta shastra,

All are Ishvara.
