🌺 What is Śrī Mahā Vārāhī Havan?

Śrī Mahā Vārāhī is a powerful and protective manifestation of Devī within the Śrī Vidyā tradition. Her worship is traditionally undertaken for protection, removal of obstacles, courage, clarity, wellbeing, spiritual progress and the successful accomplishment of righteous undertakings.

The Havan is a sacred fire worship in which mantra and āhutis are offered into Agni with śraddhā and bhakti, invoking the grace and protection of Śrī Mahā Vārāhī Ambāḷ.

What is a Saṅkalpa?

A saṅkalpa is a prayerful intention formally offered as part of the worship. You may submit a saṅkalpa for yourself, your family, friends or loved ones, together with any particular prayers or intentions you would like included.

You do not need to attend the Havan in person for your saṅkalpa to be included. Saṅkalpas are welcomed both from those attending at Shiva Temple and those participating from elsewhere.

🌺 Sponsorship Opportunities

Please submit your details as soon as possible and share this message widely with family, friends and anyone who may wish to have themselves or their loved ones included in the prayers.

May Śrī Maha Vārāhī Ambāḷ bestow Her protection, grace and blessings upon all. 🙏
