Goddess Varahi, the fierce and compassionate Boar-faced Mother among the Ashta Matrikas, is the powerful consort of Lord Varaha (the third incarnation of Lord Vishnu). She is worshipped at night, particularly during tantric rituals, to protect her devotees, destroy evil forces, and bestow spiritual and material blessings. A symbol of supreme knowledge (Jnana), fearlessness, and divine strength, she is revered for her unmatched ability to annihilate negativity and uplift sincere seekers.

Her worship is most potent on the sacred night of Ashadh Gupt Navratri, which in 2025 begins on Thursday, 26th June. This hidden or “Gupt” Navratri is observed during the waxing moon phase of the Ashadh month and is traditionally reserved for advanced Sadhaks and Tantrics. It is known to magnify the power of mantras, sadhanas, and rituals—especially those invoking fierce forms of the Divine Mother.

Why Worship Varahi Devi on This Night?

Tantric Deity of the Night: Varahi is the Goddess of darkness, best worshipped after sunset or at midnight. She governs the Northern direction and energizes the Manipura Chakra, enhancing personal power, courage, and will.
Fierce Protector: She removes evil eye, black magic, karmic blocks, ill health, and psychic attacks.
Giver of Siddhis: She grants mastery over Tantric practices, deepens meditation, and helps attain spiritual accomplishments.
Universal Worship: Honored in Shaiva, Shakta, and Vaishnava traditions alike, she is seen as the fierce yet compassionate force that grants boons, protection, and victory.

Gupt Navratri is a hidden, esoteric form of the Navratri festival known only to initiated sages and advanced seekers. Unlike Chaitra and Sharad Navratris, it is not publicly celebrated and is intended for inner transformation, secret sadhanas, and invocation of fierce goddesses. This is the night when the energies of goddesses like Varahi Devi are easily accessible and extraordinarily powerful.
