Significance of Varahi Navaratri
As the auspicious festival of Varahi Navarathri 2024 approaches, devotees of Varahi Devi prepare to immerse themselves in nine days from Padyami to Navami in the month of Ashada. Varahi Navaratri is also known as Ashada Gupta Navaratri. Varahi Devi is also a manifestation of Goddess Shakti.
Goddess Varahi is traditionally worshipped in the month of Ashada, an important time for farmers. According to the Puranas, Varahi Amman is believed to keep plants green. Worshiping Varahi Amman bestows Ashtasukha (eight forms of happiness). She is also revered as the Goddess of Truth and Charity.
Varahi Devi, known as the Goddess of Punishment and the Enforcer for Lalithamma, embodies the fierce form of Para Shakti and has triumphed in the form of Varahi. Surrendering to her will lead to good health, and spiritually, she transcends the barriers of time, guiding towards the realms of Universal Consciousness. She is also revered as Panchami, the fifth deity among the Ashtamatrikas in the Sri Chakra. Special poojas and fasting are performed for nine days during Varahi Navratri in the month of Ashada.
