Now allow me to tell a true story that happened some 10 years ago in South Africa. The father and the daughter who experienced this event told this story to my friend, a sannyasi and devotee of Lord Nrsimhadev. This stories was also found in the newspapers, and several witnesses of this truck-accident after this incident became devotees of Lord Nrsimhadev. This happened to a simple Vaishnava family that lives there. They had back then a 5 years old daughter. This girl was a great "fan of Nrsimha

Radhanath Maharaja told me a very blissful story the other day and he said I could use it. So here goes! There was that Taj Hotel where the terrorists attacked. They were fighting in there for three days, complete carnage. The terrorists had arranged in such a way that they would always be up higher. They would shoot from a lower vantage point down. Radhanath Maharaja told me this. They had all these grenades and they would throw the grenades and the grenades would create so much smoke that if y

On a warm December morning last year, around 11:00 a.m., as I sought the association of the magnificent Lord and prayed to His dear most devotee Prahlada, I found myself involved in one of His temple lilas (pastimes), much to my astonishment

After offering my obeisances to the captivating Prahlada, who stands next to his beloved Lord with his hands folded and his small body decorated with fresh fresh flowers and beautiful ornaments, I prayed, "My dear Prahlada, you are expert in receiving all kin

LORD NRSIMHADEVA’S PASTIMES WITH CHAND KAZI

When Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was in Mayapur, Chand Kazi was the Chief Magistrate of Navadvipa. He was a devout and strict Muslim who was well versed in the Koran. As the Chief Magistrate of Navadwipa-Mayapur, he kept law and order for the Hussein Shah and was also the spiritual advisor of the Shah. He was a tyrannical ruler and the Hindus were oppressed in their religious practices. Angry that devotees were not obeying his order forbidding chanti

Now allow me to tell a true story that happened some 10 years ago in South-Africa. The father and the daughter who experienced this event told this story to my friend, a sannyasi and devotee of Lord Nrisimhadev. This

In the Padma Purana, it mentions that Prahalad, Hiranyakashipu, Nrsingadev, they appear many times. It's not only this one time. At least 3 different...2 different incarnations in other days of Brahma are described in the Padma Purana.

One of those times he (Hiranyakashipu) worshiped Shiva and got the blessing. Another time he worshiped Brahma again. When he was worshiping Shiva and he wanted Prahalad to admit that he was supreme, then he said that, "Well, ok if you don't want to admit I'm suprem

So then Nrsingadev, he appeared outside of this big facility, and he was walking through the town..people..all the demons...people living in Hiranyakashipu's city, they saw Him and got frightened and ran. And He entered into the stadium..whatever you call it, I don't know...air conditioned facility! And He was flying in the back, in a gigantic form.

And Hiranyakashipu says, "What is this?", calls his air-force commander, "Tell this, whatever He is, we don't allow any beasts into our assembly here

The fight (between Nringadev and Hiranyakashipu) was fairly similar, catching...releasing...flying in the air, fighting with each other. When it was the right time, then Nrsingadev grabbed Hiranyakashipu like a big bug. But this time he sat on his throne, took him and bifurcated him into two...took out the intestine and everything.

And in that lila, it is said that Lakshmidevi could approach (Nringadev). In the Bhagavatam lila He was too angry, even She couldn't approach. But in this one She coul

One time, Padma Purana says how when Bhakta Prahalad was preaching about Visnu bhakti and everything then, Hiranyakashipu got very angry and sent his soldiers to kill him. So first they tried...they struck him with a sword. But as soon as the weapon would hit Prahalad, it turned into a blue lotus, Neel Utpal. Blue lotus.

Another soldier came up with a spear and went to stab Prahalad in the heart, "kill him!" But as soon as it touched Prahalad, it turned into a blue lotus. Someone came up with his

There are many different Nrsinga temples, in, especially in south India. Ofcourse, here we have our Nrsingapalli, where the Lord Nrsinga was flying over Navadweep then he landed in Nrsingapalli, and he wasn't approachable after killing Hiranyakashipu, but here he became very approcahable.

So all the devas built cottages around Nrsingadev's, build Him a cottage and they were serving Him, giving Him bogha and faning and doing all kinds of personal services. So here in Navadweep dham, the Lord is ac

Last year before Nrsimha Caturdasi we received several incredible stories of Mayapur Lord Nrsimhadeva saving devotees. He cancelled devotees' cancer, and provided a couple with a baby. In a disciple's dream He showed that He was protecting Jayapataka Swami, and when a huge bush fire raged towards a devotee's home, upon her prayers He blew the flames away.

This year coming up to the time of Nrsimha Caturdasi I have had no new stories. When I went to Mayapur

A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master’s house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots

Go to guru, to surrender. Surrender means that one will accept whatever the guru says. It is not that one thinks, "I do not care for my guru's order. Still I am a disciple." That is not actually accepting a guru. Just like Arjuna surrendered to Krishna. You must find out guru where you can surrender. Not that you keep guru your order supplier, "Give me some ashirvad and I may be benefited." He is not guru; he is your ord
