Varahi Dwadasa Nama Stotram 12 Names of Varahi
Who is Varahi? and Benefits of praying Goddess Varahi:
As shri lalita maha tripurasundari proceeded with her yogini army to wipe out bhandasura and his supporters there arose a loud yuddha ghosha ( war cry ) from her side. The gods praised shri devi’s commander first, shri Dandhanatha, who was proceeding in her yantra chariot – ‘kiri cakra’, with twelve names.
Sri Varahi Devi got down from her ‘Kiri Chakra’ chariot and ascended a lion ‘Vajraghosha’. That lion had a truly scary appearance. It had ruffled hair, a widely opened mouth and crooked eyes. The sound it made from its teeth seemed to deafen all the directions. Its claws had sharp nails that resembled the sharp teeth of Sri Kurma Vishnu. The nails were long enough to penetrate the earth and reach the nether worlds. Its tail had a length of three Yojanas. Sri Varahi rode on this lion. Completely prepared to slay the demons, as Sri Varahi proceeded with anger, the entire world composed of both inanimate and animate creation, was filled with great distress.
The Devas thought fearfully, ‘Oh! This goddess may burn the universe into ashes. Or she may split the earth into two halves with her weapon named ‘Musala’. Or she may disturb the seven great oceans using her weapon named ‘Hala’ (plough)’. Thinking thus, the celestials were shivering with fear and were staring at Sri Varahi.
They were repeatedly chanting her twelve sacred names. Agastya muni asked Lord Hayagreeva, “O great Lord! Please tell me those twelve names of Sri Varahi, that the celestials used to praise Her”. Hayagriva continued his narration, O Agastya hear those twelve names. By merely hearing these names, the great goddess Varahi shall become pleased.Chant these Sri Varahi Devi kavacham for protect your self and Ashadha Gupta Navratri Mantra and Varahi Sahasranamam 1000 Names of Goddess Varahi
