Ma Varahi & Kashi

When Landed in Varanasi airport Shankar was there to pick us. After hectic travel from Kochi to Varanasi via Hyderabad just dived to bed as early morning planned to touch the land of Kashinath where dusk sets in and the moon rises, Ma Varahi starts Her day, protecting Kashi in the tranquility of the night. Ratri Devata, who is the protector and Kshetra Paalika of Kashi was unfolding miracles. Ma Varahi's  grace us to explore Kashi. Day time is protected by Kala Bhairava, in this temple we tied a black thread which  protected us from bhooth and pretha. The priest like people sit to chant mantras and drive away the ones which has been with us earlier and black thread to protect us in future.

I had chanted Lalitha Sahara Nama lot of  times and continues to, also guided a lot to chant. Mother had always showed her glimpse in many human forms. All the crises had sublimated before her name and continues to unwrap the knowledge which lingers as experience some of which still remain undisclosed as comprehension needs the same dimension else will be termed as a psychological imbalance. 

Still today writing after Panchami of Ashada Navarathri, Ma's presence is felt within. Her grace is felt when the faith remains unwavering. From LSN  Kirichakra-ratharoodha-danda-natha-puraskrita mentions about her. Maa Varahi is the charioteer of the Kiri Chakra. Kiri means the light of creation and also it means boar. Chakra means cycle of creation, preservation and destruction. The yogi/seeker who is sincere, devoted and loving gains access to the chariot Kiricakra gains the light of knowledge of the Self. This implies the attainment of moksha from the cycle of birth and death.  It also means that the seeker leads a life unaffected by the maya(illusion) of the cycle of creation, preservation and destruction around them. She is also called Dandanatha as she holds the staff of justice. She is known as Dandini, the commander in chief of the Shakti’s for Sri Tripurasundari.

Me entering into Srividya was step by step process. Everything started with a Agasthya Mantra  which I got all out of a Blue Moon. Never Knew what it was, kept on chanting till today which slowly revealed what I am heading for. Lalitha chanting came in after meeting Sheefechi. Later understood what Agasthya mantra was doing and taking me to Srividya. Ma Varahi was leading her own way. In the Sri Vidya tradition, worship of Matangi(Saraswati) and Varahi (Lakshmi) are observed with love and reverence as they guide the spiritual seeker to the highest science, knowledge of the Self.

She is Agnya cakersvari who rules e agyna cakra. Sadhaka to raise the kundalini up to agnya cakra ,  Devi's blessings is required to move further to the sahsarara, which is the grace of the divine mother through the Sri Guru.

Sri Maha Varahi Devi, the boar faced sakthi, emerged out of the five flowery arrows of Sri Lalitha. She was made the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.Her chariot the kiri charka.t was pulled by 1000 boars, and the charioteer was stambhini Devi. So worshipping Her will give you stambhan vidya.  Her chariot had all the devatas of the devaloka, especially Sri Dhanvanatri- the God of physician and the Asvini duo – the physician of God’s. So again her energy can cure any disease. The combo effect of warfare and healing. 

If I start describing the benefits of worship and mantras this blog is not enough. Well we moved through Kashi visiting temple of deities each had their story and grace. For me Ma Varahi had sparked the light which I am still carrying. Its all indvidual inner journey where you get glimpse of these Shaktis. Aum Shiva Shakthaikya Ruppinne Namaha. Aum Shri Mathre Namaha. You search ends when you know what you are looking is within you and what ever you see outside  is the inner wave. Thank you for reading  Sudeeyam.
