A silver replica murti of the Mayapur Ugra Narasimha Deity manifested from a couple’s shared love of Lord Narasimha, His mercy, and the prayerful dovetailing of a devotee’s artistic skills. The stunning two-inch replica of Lord Narasimha is the creation of Mantra4u founder Sonia Chopra and the fulfillment of her late husband Harinam Anand Das’s devotional desire.
Born and raised in New Delhi, Sonia Chopra married Harinam Anand Das (Hari Ram Chopra) and moved to the United States in 1985. The couple gradually became regular visitors at ISKCON of DC, where Mukunda Goswami opened the ISKCON Communications office and asked Sonia to assist with outreach and media. She has been serving in this role ever since. She currently serves as the Communications Director for ISKCON of DC.
Sonia, a dedicated wife and mother of two, shared, “My husband was born and raised in Kandahar, Afghanistan. He came to the US in 1977 for university studies and was an amazingly humble and successful person. I learned from him about seva and humility. Each Sunday, he was completely dedicated to the temple and offered so much service.”
