Unleashing the Power of Narasimha: The Divine Avatar of Lord Vishnu

Narasimha Dev is an incarnation of the Supreme Lord Vishnu or Krishna. He assumed a special form of half-man (Nara) and half-lion (Simha) to protect His five-year-old devotee Prahlad from the ghastly attacks of his demoniac father Hiranyakashipu. He killed the demon to prove that whoever is surrendered to His lotus feet is always taken care of by Him. Lord Narasimha is worshiped in many parts of South India and is considered an important deity in the Vaishnava Sampradaya.

What does Narasimha symbolize?

Although the form of Lord Narasimha appears fierce to the general people, it appears as beautiful and sweet as the lotus flower to His devotees. His ferocious yet transcendental form signifies His rage towards the demoniac persons who try to harm or blaspheme His devotees who are very dear to Him. The devotees always worship and remember Lord Narasimha in their minds because He is the source of all bliss and fortune and is also the cause of all causes. The Vaishnav Acharyas explain that the Lord"s killing of Hiranyakashipu symbolizes the killing of Anarthas such as lust, anger, greed, illusion, attachment, and false ego residing in our hearts. One who has taken the shelter of the lotus feet of Lord Narasimha is at once purified of all contamination which is a barrier in Bhakti.

Which day is for Lord Narasimha?

Since Lord Narasimha is Vishnu Tattva, the Vaishnavas worship Him and observe fasting from grains on Ekadashi which comes on every 11th day in the Hindu or Vedic calendar. On this day, the devotees either completely refrain from eating and drinking anything (Nirjala) or only take grain-free Prasad for satisfying their hunger. They chant the Lord"s holy names, visit temple, and read His pastimes mentioned in the Vedic scriptures. Being completely absorbed in the thoughts of the Lord, the devotees peacefully observe the fast and remain blissful. Another very important day dedicated to Lord Narasimha Dev is “Narasimha Chaturdashi” which comes once a year. It is celebrated as the appearance (His advent on this planet) day of the Lord. On this day, the Vaishnavas congregate in the temples and chant His unending glories and beg for His causeless mercy so that they may eternally be engaged in His devotional service.

Where is Narasimha Swamy statue?

You can find many statues or deities of Lord Narasimha in different states of India such as Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, etc. The most revered place for the Vaishnava community is Ahobilam situated in the state of Andhra Pradesh. This is the holy site where Lord Narasimha chose to appear from a stone pillar indicating that He is present everywhere. The Narasimha Swamy temple in Ahobilam is where all the nine forms of Narasimha Dev are situated; Prahlad Varada Narasimha, Chatravata Narasimha, Yogananda Narasimha, Ugra Narasimha, Kroda Narasimha, Malola Narasimha, Jwala Narasimha, and Pavana Narasimha. Thousands of people from across the globe visit this temple to take the divine blessings of the Lord.

The Vedic scriptures such as Srimad Bhagavatam advise everyone to worship and take the divine shelter of Lord Narasimha dev, the Supreme Lord, in all circumstances, knowing that He is our only hope. Those who do so experience the highest form of bliss and never get bewildered even in adverse conditions of life.

The Power Couple of Hindu Mythology: Vishnu and Lakshmi

Lakshmi, as we all know, is the Goddess of fortune/wealth and is a highly revered deity in India. She is especially worshiped in the festival of Diwali which brings auspiciousness into our lives. But what is her connection with Lord Vishnu? Our Vedic scriptures mention that Goddess Lakshmi is the eternal consort of Lord Vishnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. She is His internal energy or potency and is always engaged in His transcendental loving service. Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi never separate from each other. In the Vaishnava Sampradaya and as described in the Vedas and Puranas, Vishnu and Lakshmi together are the Supreme Absolute Truth. The relationship between them is not mundane but is completely on the spiritual platform, above and beyond the three modes of material nature (Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas).

Is it good to keep Vishnu Lakshmi idol at home?

As mentioned above, it is the injunction of the Shastras (scriptures) that there is no truth superior to Vishnu and Lakshmi. It is advised by all the Acharyas to take the shelter of Shri Vishnu in all circumstances and depend on His mercy.

We see many people worshiping Lakshmi Devi alone in their homes. But if you are willing to walk the path of Bhakti, this is not recommended. Lakshmi Devi is an obedient wife of Lord Vishnu. She never leaves His lotus feet and she never goes to the place where Lord Vishnu is not being worshiped. Therefore, the Vedic scriptures consider those people who engage in the loving service of Vishnu and Lakshmi as the most intelligent. Thus, it is very auspicious to install the deities of Shri Vishnu and Lakshmi Devi at home and worship Them regularly. All good fortune follows when you please Goddess Lakshmi and She is only pleased when we worship Lord Vishnu with faith and devotion.

Which Avatar of Vishnu is very powerful?

Lord Vishnu is the cause of all causes and He expands Himself into many forms to fulfill certain purposes. The main purpose of His assuming different forms is to reciprocate the loving exchanges with His devotees. He never fails to protect His devotees from great difficulties. One of the most powerful forms of Lord Vishnu is the “Narasimha” Avatar, the half-man and half-lion form. He appeared from a stone pillar to protect His five-year-old devotee Prahlad from the ghastly attacks of his demoniac father Hiranyakashipu. In this incarnation, the Lord looks ferocious but to His devotees, it is equally beautiful as His original four-handed form. The devotees of Lord Narasimha always remember Him in their minds and experience pure bliss.

How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?

Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.

Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.

The best and simplest way to maintain a brass statue is to clean it at least twice a week using a soft cloth or cotton rag. This will prevent dust from accumulating on the surface. Dusting is especially important for outdoor statues since it is prone to dust accumulation much more than indoors.

To give a natural shine and luster to the statue, you may apply coconut or olive oil using cotton on every portion. You can use a toothbrush to get to the small crevices but do not be too harsh. This will make the brass statue appear fresh and new with a polished look.

In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth.

Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
