VRHI pitu rp

(Based on an article Vrhi by Guruji Amritananda Natha Sarasvati)

The concept of Vrhi is something much more elemental compared
to that of the Daamahvidys. The universe is formulated from the
pacabhuts which are space, air, fire, water and earth.
The pacabhuts are the manifestations of paca tanmtrs which the
five flowery arrows of Sri Lalithambika represent. The pacatanmtras
are again (1) sound abda; (2) feel spara; (3) form rpa;
(4) taste rasa and (5) smell gandha.
Vrhi Devi has emerged from the five flowery arrows of Sri
Lalithambika
It is by the intermingling (pancikarana) of these five aspects the visible
universe is being created. These five aspects are the cause of the
creative urge (Shakti) as a result of which the visible universe has
evolved.
Bhavanopanishat says: vrhi pitru rp - Varahi is verily the Father,
masculine form.
As per astrology the body which is constituted of the five elements, is
from the father. Further the universe is also made up of these
elements. Thus we see that, whatever is there in the body is there in
the universe and whatever is there in the universe is there in this
body.
The Visible universe is an outcome of the primordial creative urge
called Shakti. Thus varahi upsana is to understand that the whole
seen world is the deity who is the consciousness.
