Sri Gurubhyo Namaha, Sri Maatre Namaha!
With the blessings of our Guru Mandala and Maha Shodashi Mata, we are very happy to let you all know that for the Āshādha Navaratri 2021, we took the sankalpam to celebrate Maha Vārāhi.
Sri Vārāhi is the fifth of the Ashta Mātrukās. She is the power of Lord Varāha, the boar Avatar of Lord Vishnu. She is the commander-in-chief of Devi Lalitha and she is also known as Panchami, Varthāli, Dandanātha, Vajramukhi etc. She has been mentioned in almost all traditions in Tantra (She herself has a separate Tantra called Vārāhi tantra). Sri Vārāhi occupies a special place in the Shakti upāsana as she removes the addictions and impurities of her devotees and uplifts the good qualities in them. She has been mentioned both in Lalitha Sahasranamam and in Devi Mahatmyam.
For this Āshādha Navaratri, also popularly called as Vārāhi Navaratri, our Ashram disciples have been reciting everyday the sacred text of Devi Mahatmyam, prefixing each verse with Maha Vārāhi’s Beeja Mantra in the Pallavam Chanting Style. As we get to the end of this Navaratri, we will be having Laksha Chandi Homams on the auspicious days of Ashtami and Navami this weekend. Here are the details:
Location: Toronto, Canada
Time: 8:30 AM EST on Saturday, July 17 & Sunday, July 18, 2021
