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. The story of Narasimha avatar is connected with the story of Hiranyakashipu and Prahlad. In Vishnu’s Varaha avatar the lord killed Hiranyakashipu’s brother Hiranyaksha. By this action Hiranyakashipu got angry towards Vishnu and decided to kill Mahavishnu. For this he took deep penance to appease Lord Brahma and attain magical powers to def

(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

Prabhupada: So today, appearance day of Lord Nrisimhadeva. Lord Nrisimhadeva appeared on this Nrisimha Caturdasi on account of His devotee, Prahlada. As it is stated in the Bhagavad-gita, yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata, abhyutthanam adharmasya [Bg. 4.7]. Paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca dushkritam, sambhavami yuge yuge [Bg. 4.8]. The Lord appears with two purposes. Paritranaya sadhunam: just to give protection

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
Jayananda made his own notes in the jacket of his Krishna book in a list in point form. He wrote:
“As your begin to apply the book’s clearly described principles to your life you will quickly experience a new realm of mental poise and experience an inner happiness even in the midst of the most trying circumstances.
You will worry less and enjoy more. Your power of concentration, memory, understanding and creativity will increase. You will work more energetically, more confidently, and efficient

When Srila Prabhupada was lecturing on the appearance day of Lord Nrsimhadev in Bombay, he was lecturing immediately after a play and he was glorifying Hiranyakasipu because the part was played so well. Then he explained more about the pastimes of Lord Nrsimhadev and at the end he said, “If I had more time, I would have spoken about the prayers of Prahlad.” These prayers of Prahlad were particular favourites of Srila Prabhupada and in a sense, the most important, because

“My Dear Jayananda,
Please accept my blessings.
I am feeling very intensely your separation. In 1967 you joined me in San Francisco. You were driving my car and chanting Hare Krsna. You were the first man to give me some contribution ($5000) for printing my Bhagavad-gita. After that, you have rendered very favorable service to Krsna in different ways. I so hope at the time of your death you were remembering Krsna and as such, you have been promoted to the eternal association of Krsna…as you were

Today is Rukmini-dvadasi, the appearance day of Srimati Rukmini-devi. There have been wonderful festivities all day, beginning with the special darshan of the Deities in Their flower outfits, and just now a wonderful abhiseka. During the abhiseka I really felt like I was in Vrindavan. There was so much devotion, spontaneous devotion—every time the pujaris poured another substance on the Deities, there would be gasps and cries of ecstasy and approval. It was really wonderful. And that is life in

I am going to reprint a series from 2010 during late April till May 20th, when I spent time with my mom. [What follows after this introduction is from 10-21-10] She lay in hospital bed in a hospice, basically waiting to die, though she didn't really understand that, and kept asking when she was going home. When both one's parents have left the world in biological death, and moved on to another life, that is a kind of initiation.
"Loosing" one's parents (were they ever really "
