Dear devotees,

The day of Jan 28 is observed as Lord Varaha's appearance day. The pastimes of
this third avatara of Lord Vishnu are described like this:

When her child falls in a well, the mother because of excessive parental
affection (vatsalya) jumps in and saves it. Similarly when earth (prthivi) was
sinking in the underworld, the Lord took the form of a boar and in the
twinkling of an eye dived in and brought her out. (Sri Pillan's Tiruvaymoli
7.5.5) 

Visit Sri Varaha website at www.varaha.avatara.org on His appearance day.
