From the nostrils of Brahma, a very small (thumb size) Varaham (boar) jumped down. Its face was like a boar and body was like a human. As every body looked astonished, the divine creature started growing and it became sky-tall. As it’s “Garjanam” echoed magnanimously, Brahma realized that it was none other than Lord Hari who took the form of “Yagna Varaham” to uplift and save Bhoomi Devi.

Note – we may find this story quite unbelievable, but that is the way of our Masters. They do not expect us to believe in the stories or get stuck up in any belief systems. The stories are just pointers to the precious Knowledge imbibed in them.

What do we learn here? Meditating with your eyes fixed on the nose tip is an ancient meditation technique. It ensures single focused concentration without any distraction; so we can assume here that Brahma’s meditation on the Lord was that much intense and as a symbolic result of it, “Yagna Varaham” appeared from his nostrills!
