Narsimha Chaturdashi - Appearance day of NarsimhaDeva

Today we are celebrating appearance day of Lord Narsimha Deva. Lord Narsimha Deva is known to be an obstacle removals.

As we know in this world there is always danger,  and we all are currently going through very tough situation.  Whole world is trying to protect themselves but no one is able to.

We all know the story of Prahlada Maharaja.  Prahlada Maharaja is the son of Hirynyakashpu the powerful demon. But due to good association of great sage Narada Ji Prahalada Mahraja became very good devotee of Lord Vishnu and always busy to chant holy name.

After hearing about his son Hirynyakashpu became very angry and ordered to kill his own son Prahlada Maharaja.

There were so many ways Hirynyakashpu tried to kill Prahlada Maharaja but to full faith on holy name of Lord Prahlada Maharaja was protected by Lord Vishnu.

Prahlada Maharaja was only 5 years old and after seeing the power of his devotion Hirynyakashpu became mad and challenged, who is protecting you as you know I am powerful in all three universe?

Prahlada Maharaja simply replied to Hirynyakashpu, my dear father there is more powerful person beyond you and that is Lord Vishnu and I am in Their shelter, you too take shelter of Lord Vishnu and give up this false ego.

Hearing this, Hirynyakashpu got up from his sit and asked Prahlada Maharaja, where is your Vishnu? 

He is everywhere, Prahlada Maharaja replied.

Hirynyakashpu again asked, Is He in this pillar?

Yes, Prahlada Maharaja replied.

Angry Hirynyakashpu hit on pillar,  and suddenly a loud roar Half Man - Half Lion appeared in gigantic form.

One may ask, why this type of God? 

Because, to protect His devotee God can accept any form. And there was boon given by Lord Brahma to Hirynyakashpu, he can not be killed by man, animal, in day, in night, on earth, in heaven, from weapon.

To keep Lord Brahma's condition Lord Narsimha appeared in the form of Half Man - Half Lion and very easily killed Hirynyakashpu by just His nail.

So, we can understand the power of Lord Narsimha and if we pray to Lord Narsimha . He will always protect us.

Lord Narsimha is very soft to devotee like Prahlada Maharaja and very furious to demon like Hirynyakashpu.

I offer my respectful obeisances unto Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, the source of all power. O my Lord who possesses nails and teeth just like thunderbolts, kindly vanquish our demonlike desires for fruitive activity in this material world. Please appear in our hearts and drive away our ignorance so that by Your mercy we may become fearless in the struggle for existence in this material world.

May Lord Narsimha protect us from all the dangers like how He saved to Prahlada Maharaja.


Jai Sri Prahlada Narsimha !

Laxmana teaches us how to maintain character, competency, selfless service, and equal in both the situation either you are praised or you are abused. If you have fixed your aim, then there is no question of disturbance what people say to you.

Laxmana took vow, he will not sleep for four...

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 ...

TIT for TAT OR Tolerate That

Many of the times we go through situations where we get confused what to do now? According to our Vedic Scriptures we should keep three things in our mind and accordingly react or respond on situations. If you can change it: Situations comes in your life or brought by some people and you know if it is completely against our religious principle, then you must stand against it and try to change the situations. When Hauman Ji reached in Lanka and Lankini the guard of Lanka tried to stop Him and because it was against the religious principle as his own master kidnapped others wife, Hanuman Ji punched on her mouth by His left hand and move on. Same way if you have power and know things are going against Dharma, you should change the situations else you have to suffer sinful reactions of it. If you can not change it: Sometimes situations are completely against us and we are not even able to change it then that time we must accept the situation and try to tolerate it.  You don't believe...
