Varah–The Boar-faced, is one of the 24 incarnations of Lord Vishnu to destroy powerful demon Hiranyaksha symbolizing the greed and exploitation. Mother earth submerged in the ocean of enormous crimes, sorrows & wrongdoings. In consequence lord Vishnu had to emerge as lord Varaha, destroyed the demon, and saved the mother earth (the world populi). Varah ( Sanskrit ) means - var( Shrestha)+ ah( divas) ; means best day ( Shrestha-Divas).The day you do a Satkarm is the Shrestha-divas. Lord Varah picked up the earth out of oceans and handed it over to great saint ‘Manu’, meaning as handing over to the people of this universe. Varah -avatar is the incarnation of contentment (santosh).
