Practices During Vārāhī Navarātri
The practices during Vārāhī Navarātri may vary depending on one's level of initiation and guidance.
For beginners and devotees who have not received initiation into Her mūlamantra, simple and devotional practices are recommended.
- Offer prayers to Vārāhī Devī
- Chant the Vārāhī Gāyatrī Mantra
- Meditate on Her 12 names or 108 names
- Read or listen to Vārāhī Kavacham
- Light a lamp in the evening
- Offer flowers, kumkum, or simple heartfelt devotion
- Sit quietly and invoke Her protection and guidance
For initiated sādhakas, deeper practices such as mūlamantra japa, yantra pūjā, homa, and other specific mantra practices should be done only as per Guru guidance.
A Simple Vārāhī Navarātri Practice for Devotees
If you are new to Vārāhī worship, you can keep the practice simple. Each evening during Navarātri:
- Light a diya.

- Offer your prayers to Goddess Vārāhī.
- Chant the Vārāhī Gāyatrī Mantra 11 times or 108 times.

What Vārāhī Teaches Us
Vārāhī Devī teaches that spiritual life is not only about softness. It is also about strength.
- She teaches us to face what we avoid.
- She teaches us to correct what weakens us.
- She teaches us to protect our energy.
- She teaches us to walk with discipline.
- She teaches us to rise above fear.
During This Navarātri
Allow yourself to reflect:
Questions for inner inquiry
- Where do I need courage?
- Where am I allowing fear to control me?
- What inner enemy is blocking my progress?
- Where do I need discipline?
- What must I surrender to the Divine Mother?
This Navarātri is not only about asking for protection. It is about becoming strong enough to receive Her command and walk forward.
Om Śrī Vārāhyai Namaḥ
I bow to Goddess Vārāhī, the fierce and compassionate Mother,
the protector of seekers, the remover of inner and outer obstacles,
and the divine force that guides us back to courage, discipline, and truth.
May Her grace protect us.
May Her strength awaken within us.
May Her light guide our path.
