Sri Narsimha Chaturtdashi - Appearance day of Lord Narsimha

Lord Narsimha is known for obstacles removal in the path of devotion. Today we are celebrating Sri Narsimha Chaturtdashi, He appeared in the world to protect His devotee Prahlad Mahraj from his father Hirnyakashyapu. 

Hirnyakashyapu was materially very much strong and puffed up by his power and position and trying to conquer the three world and thinking himself as an God.

But Hirnyakashyapu forgot all power and strength is given by Krishna himself like in today's world also most of the people think they are God and they can control everything but they forgot the Supreme controller is Krishna.

But Prahlad Mahraj son of Hirnyakashyapu was exactly opposite of his father and He was completely devoted to Krishna and trying to convince His father also to give up this egoistic mentality and surrender to Krishna because He is the only shelter and well wishers of all living entities.

Hirnyakashyapu got angry on hearing this suggestion from Prahlad Mahraj and he told Prahlad Mahraj, you are not my son but enemy.

Often if someone give good advice to demonic people they consider them enemy.

And Hirnyakashyapu started torturing Prahlad Mahraj by many ways but all his tricks got failed because of spiritual power of Prahlad Mahraj.

Although Prahlad Mahraj was only 5 years old but because He was spiritually very much strong seeing this Hirnyakashyapu got upset and ordered to kill Prahlad Mahraj.

And finally Lord Narsimha Dev appeared in front of Hirnyakashyapu from pillar to prove Prahlad Mahraj as Hirnyakashyapu asked is your Lord exist in piller? and in reply Prahlad Mahraj says yes. 

Lord Narsimha Dev kill Hirnyakashyapu like a small bee. 

So, we can see how Hirnyakashyapu got his power by thousands of years of austerities but Lord Narsimha Dev finished it in few seconds.

Sri Narsimha Dev ki Jai, Prahlad Mahraj ki Jai.

Learning Lessons from Mother Sumitra

In this world mother and child relationship is above all the relations. The foremost responsibility of a mother is to place her child in a proper Krishna Consciousness environment by which he/she becomes pure devotee of the Lord. Often mothers blame for their children, they are not behaving well and they don't respect them at all but the reason behind this is how much we are doing for them. Being a parent means to sacrifice for children. In modern age mother has no time to care of her children and think they can give all kinds of facilities by just giving money. And when the child grows up and by the time he/she do not get the association of mother and teachings they become free to do what they want to do. Mother means to care for her children what they need and give love and teach them how to love and respect others. And if we think we just send our children to schools/colleges and they will be perfect in all so they cannot. Its the duty of the mother to give valuable time ...

In our previous post we have already mentioned Ramayna is not an ordinary story but a complete learning lesson from each & every characters.
