Of the many Varaha Mantras, the Varaha Gayatri Mantra is considered the most sacred due to its protective powers.
Lord Varaha, the third incarnation of Lord Vishnu, is known for his strength, power, and uplifting nature.
Since ancient times, several sadhakas have practised this mantra to invoke Lord Varaha’s grace and to gain strength, protection, and energy.
A related form to Lord Varaha is the Bhu Varaha, the Guardian and Lord of Goddess Bhu Devi.
Devotees invoke the Lord using the Bhu Varaha Gayatri Mantra to request his blessings for resolving issues related to land and homes. This mantra is also chanted during property purchases.
Both these Gayatri mantras explain the various attributes of the Lord and seek his protection.
