Varahi Devi Navrathri Puja/ Homam

Varahi Devi Navaratri Puja/Homam is a ritual dedicated to Goddess Varahi, one of the seven Matrikas (mother goddesses) in Hindu tradition. This worship is typically conducted during Navaratri, a nine-night festival dedicated to the divine feminine.

Varahi Devi: Varahi is depicted with the face of a boar and is considered the feminine aspect of Lord Varaha, an incarnation of Vishnu. She is known for her protective and nurturing qualities and is often worshipped for strength, protection, and victory over negative forces.

Navaratri: Navaratri is a significant Hindu festival celebrated over nine nights and ten days. It is dedicated to the worship of the divine feminine in various forms, primarily Goddess Durga and her nine avatars, known as Navadurga. Each day is dedicated to a different form of the goddess, and specific rituals and prayers are conducted.

Puja/Homam: Puja refers to the ceremonial worship involving offerings, prayers, and rituals to honor and invoke the deity. Homam (or Havan) is a fire ritual where offerings are made into a consecrated fire, invoking the presence and blessings of the deity. During the Varahi Devi Navaratri Puja/Homam, devotees perform various rituals and prayers to seek the blessings of Varahi for protection, prosperity, and spiritual growth.

The ritual typically involves chanting specific mantras, offering food, flowers, and other items, and conducting the fire ceremony to purify the surroundings and invoke divine energy. Devotees believe that participating in these rituals brings about positive changes, dispels negativity, and ensures the well-being of the participants and their families.
