The Appearance of Lord Varahadev

The planet earth is placed under certain condition in order for it to stay in orbit. The precious minerals like gold, oil, diamonds etc. are strategically placed within the core of the earth to maintain the balance of the planets. When these minerals are removed from the Earth then there is a disturbance in the natural balance of the earth. Currently the earth is been raped of her minerals like gold and oil and this is a contributing fact towards global warming.

Billions of years ago the brother of Hiranyakashipu extracted all the gold out from the core of the Earth.  This created a disturbance for the Mother Earth, who sunk to the bottom of the Garbodaka Ocean.  When the inhabitants of the Earth planet were suffering, Lord Brahma prayed to Lord Narayana. The Lord then appeared from the nostrils of Lord Brahma. At first Lord Brahma could not recognize the tiny creature. Within minutes the Lord expanded, and Lord Brahma saw a transcendental form of a Boar, fully decorated with golden crown and carrying a mighty golden club.

Although in the body of the boar, the Lord was transcendental to material qualities. He flew into the air, slashed his tail and began searching for Mother Earth by smelling the atmosphere. Then the Lord dove into the Garbodaka Ocean. Finding the Earth Planet within the Ocean, the Lord picked it up using His tusks. No one can understand the transcendental arrangements of the Lord.  The Lord chooses a certain type of body to fulfil a certain task. Therefore the form of the Boar was an appropriate form to save the earth.

At that time, the demon Hiranyaksha appeared and challenged the Lord to a fight.  A fierce battle assumed and still carrying the Lord upon His tasks, The Lord killed the brother of Hiranyakasipu.  Then the Lord placed the Earth Planet back on it’s orbit.

When Hiranyakashipu heard that Lord Visnu had killed his brother he became furious. At that time he swore to become the enemy of Lord Visnu.  The demon encouraged his followers to go to the earthly planet and disturb the Brahmanical culture and Kshatriya government.  Then the demon decided to perform severe austerities to gain immense power to defeat Lord Visnu.
