“In my heart reside duplicity, insincerity, the desire for fame, and the six enemies: lust, anger, envy, fear, illusion and intoxication. Therefore I will pray at the feet of Lord Narasimha to purify my heart and give me the desire to serve Krishna.

O ! Narasimha Deva, please rip open my chest with your sharp nails, as you opened Hiranayakashipu's
Please take out all the vices filled deep inside me.. Lust, anger, greed, illusion, envy and bewilderment.
Hidden deep inside me infinite desires still long for sense gratification, respect and praise from others.
O ! Narasimha Deva, please rip open my body of which I am so proud of and take out all these vices entangling like long intestines within me.
O ! Narasimha Deva, please fill my mind, body an
Here is the story of Narasimha Avatar for children. Lord Narasimha was the fourth Avatar of Lord Mahavishnu, which was taken to kill the demon Hiranyakashipu.

(1) When wild beasts & foes attack,
When famines, floods, & fires strike,
When quakes & cyclones leave just lack,
When laughless, life’s not lief to like,
When all my ships of hope have wrecked
And I’ve no fruits of joy to tend,
Lord Narasimha, pray protect!
Lord Narasimha, do defend!
(2) When I’m heart-racked with household care,
When pressures to succeed upset,
When in duress, dismay, despair,
In fearful doubt & fretful debt,
When usurers swarm to collect

So many bodies but one soul
We wanted independence and you gave it to us all
Seeing us from time immemorial
You never interfered with our wants
Our thirst for pleasure is put to rest by the thought of you, the pure soul
We did not know and suffered again and again
The lucky ones become your servants and reunited with you
The rest of us became theirs
You gave us everything to worship you but we have done everything BUT
For how many lifetimes I have come to this earth again and again I do not know

Pankajanghri Prabhu told me a few months ago that one Mataji had been suffering a health condition that would not go away for years. When she read about Lord Nrsimhadeva curing devotees, she realized that she could pray to Him for this purpose and she did. The condition disappeared.
A few weeks ago Jananivas Prabhu told me that a married couple could not conceive a child. A year ago the doctor examined the wife and said that in the past some disease had occurred and her tubes were

Question to Radhanath Swami: What is the difference between mind and intelligence?
Radhanath Swami: Lord Krishna speaks about his energies in the Bhagavad Gita. “Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego—all together these eight constitute My separated material energies.” Out of these, earth, water, fire, air and ether are gross energies, or the gross elements of creation. The other three—mind, intelligence and the ego—are subtle energies, or the subtle elements of creat
