I know nothing about Hinglaj. But I'm interested in learning more about
Varahi Mata. I know she's one of the Sapta Matrikas, and plays a role in
the Sri Vidya cult (along with Kurukulla, who I only know as a Tibetan
Bodhisattva!). I've been looking for a devotional photo of Sri Varahi

Dear Len

There are about 180 references to Varahi Devi and Vajra Varahi
in different websites. You will be able to get these if you go
to search for Varahi under yahoo. Some of these sites are
indeed very information including sites pertaining to tibetan
society and culture.

Kalipadma remarked : "I've been looking for a devotional photo of
Sri
Varahi. Miss Piggy in a sari just won't do..."

Thank you satish for the picture.

For a moment I though I will be seeing the "devotional" photo
of Sri
Varahi, which if I interprets Kalipadma message correctly as Sri
Varahi not in her boar shape. Is there such picture?

06-22-2003, 06:09 AM

I've seen ....ankas> of the Tibetan Buddhist Vajra-Varahi. She looks like
a typical dakini/ wrathful (human) goddess, with a small boar's head
coming out of her hair on the side.

The Hindu Sri Varahi is more traditionally potrayed as a human female
with a boar's head (as Ganesha is portrayed as a human male with an
elephant's head).

I can't download Satish's picture. What did he send?

"I can't download Satish's picture. What did he send?"

It is the same picture as I have in the homepage, except that this
picture, Sri Varahi Devi is sitting on the Lotus.

06-22-2003, 01:16 PM

Wow, definitely not Miss Piggy in a Sari, although I enjoyed the
mental picture that that brought up! LOL.

However, I don't see a similar picture on our home page. Am I missing
something?

I looked on the web for pictures, including of the Buddhist ones,
and I came across this interview with Miranda Shaw, who wrote
Passionate Enlightenment - Women in Tantric Buddhism. I have
mentioned that book on this list before, so I thought I'd share this
link if anyone is interested. The article is called Everything You
Ever Wanted to Know About Tantra But Were Afraid to Ask. Here's
the link: http://www.martinj.dircon.co.uk/page10.html
