Varahi Devi is one among the seven mother goddesses in the Hindu religion. With the head of a boar, Varahi is the female aspect of Varaha, an avatar of Lord Vishnu.
She was created mainly for the purpose of killing the demons and to maintain law and order in the entire universe. She was formed from Goddess Chandika, a form of Mata Parvati Devi.
According to the ancient puranas, she bestows various boons to us and protects us from the evil forces.
The Devi Bhagavata Purana tells her valour and praises her victory over the killing of the ferocious demons.
There are five forms of Varahi:
1. Svapna Varahi
2. Canda Varahi
3. Mahi Varahi
4. Krcca Varahi
5. Matsya Varahi
The vehicle of Varahi is a buffalo.
Varahi can be worshipped by offering pujas to her and we can recite Varahi Anugrahashtakam and Varahi Nigrahashtakam for getting good fortunes in our life and towards getting protected ourselves from enemies and also for getting good health and for having a clear mind and to avoid unnecessary confusions in our life.
