A Happy Lord Nrisimhadev appearance day.
It is rightly said that today the world has "guided missiles and unguided minds". We hear of immunization programs for children from the time of birth for prevention of various diseases. But this is just immunization to protect the body from diseases. What about immunization to the subtle body (mind)? The world (scientific community) has no such program. Lord Nrisimhadev's appearance is to protect or shield us from the demoniac nature.
The Lord takes the dual role: one the ferocious form and the other of compassion and love. The ferocious form is for the demoniac nature and the loving form is for the divine nature. In Kali-yuga both these forms are within us. However, due to illusion all of us declare ourselves to be a "righteous" person unmindful of the demon within us.
On this important occasion may we all seek the blessings of Lord Nrisimhadev to give us the immunization from insanity which the whole world is suffering from of "I and mine". Otherwise due to influence of Kali, the Hiranyakashipu (demoniac nature) within us will drag us into so many scams and ..gates in the news today. Unfortunately, due to greed it is the so-called moneyed class which is filling the jails.
In fact, the secular government (sic) should declare today as a holiday and force its citizens to attend the immunization camps. Unfortunately, no Bachan or Shahrukh Khan will be willing to promote these immunization camps. So as devotees let us encourage everyone around us to go to this immunization camps setup by ISKCON.
Let us pray to Lord Nrisimhadev so that the UN declares His appearance day as "Immunization day against insanity".
