This is the mantra chanted for diety Sri Maha Vaarahi Amman. Who is Sri Maha Vaarahi? She is the solemn power of Sri Raja Rajeswari. Sri Raja Rajeswari took the incarnation of Sri Maha Vaarahi to eliminate the cruel demon Pandasura. Who is pandasura? What is the story of pandasura? Pandasura was a great Shiva Bhakta. After thousands of years of penance, shiva appeared before him and the demon requested for a peculiar benediction that he never should be killed by any one, evidently meaning to live for ever. However Lord Shiva had a different opinion on birth and death aspect of humans. He said any one born on this earth must die one day. No one could be above this prime rule of life. Pandasura agreed for this condition with certain stipulations. He did not want to be killed by either human or animal or by natural causes. He could be annihilated only by a woman, not born of another woman and that too by one who had the habit of consuming filth (faeces) as food. How was it possible? However as is the habit of Shiva he gave the benediction to Pandasura. Pandasura, incidentally was a great warrior and having attained this special position as a result of his penance, he went into the dangerous game of massacre of humans to reign supreme. He utilized his ill-gotten strength-that he could never be destroyed by any one except the one born by the earlier descriptio-to annihilate everyone including devas. When his torture exceeded the limits, they approached Lord Shiva seeking his intervention to save them from this cruel ruler. But Lord Shiva expressed his inability in this matter since he as given this benediction and asked them to approach the Divine Mother Sri Raja Rajeshwari for a solution. Besides, the destroyer had to be a woman and Divine Mother could find a solution to their worries. Therefore they approached the Mother with their woes and pains. Mother, infact, was waiting for such an opportunity and when she heard their cry, she soothed them with the promise that very soon Pandasura would be annihilated. Subsequent to this she started planning as to what kind of incarnation would help her kill Pandasura since he had been destined to die by unique creation, that would have to take birth as a woman and not in human body. There was only one possibility for this strange combination. It was to take the incarnation of a boar – a wild pig with tusks with female human body and face of a boar. However there was a problem as the same incarnation in the form of Varaha had already been taken place. Sri Maha Vishnu , Lord Narayana had appeared in this form much earlier to rescue the Mother earth during one of his several incarnations. Therefore, she thought it would fit into the logic when only she got a genuine permission from her brother to take a female form of boar. With deep prayer, she requested Sri Maha Vishnu to accede to her wish. At the behest of Sri Vishnu and keeping his form, deep within, Mother took the form of boar and came to be known as Sri Maha Vaarahi. As soon as she got this form she became very powerful as if the strength of a hundred thousand boars verily became hers. Her power and strength were so much that immediately she left to tackle the demon Pandasura on a chariot called Giri chakra, dragged by thousand boars of solid might. Yet she could not defeat Pandasura despite her phenomenal powers. Imagine what would have been the strength of that strange asura ! In frustration she approached Sri Vishnu and Sri Shiva for a solution as to how the demon could be destroyed. They suggested that mother would take with her the god of approbation- Lord Ganesha who would help her over come the initial pangs through his presence. Accordingly Shri Maha Varaahi took with her son Lord Ganesha and in the ensuing war destroyed Pandasura and his men and established peace on this earth and on the other worlds Here we have to understand another unique phenomenon; the presence of Shri Raja Mathangi that is existing in this universe. When we talk about Shri Maha Varaahi we have to mention about Shri Raja Mathangi too because they can never be separated. Without one the other is non-existent. The first deity is Sri Raja Mathangi. She travels in Gayachakra, a chariot which when moves, the atmosphere will be vibrating with sweet music. She is the embodiment of Nada (Sound). She stands for the propagation of Jnana (Knowledge ) , art, education, music and so on. Since both of them are not different from Mahalakshmi, they bless those worship them with wealth and health. This is for certain. Sri Raja Matangi is known as Manthrini.Sri Maha Vaarahi is known as Dandini. Divine 52 sakthi peets and their location details is given below: 1.
