Narasimha Chaturdashi

Narasimha Chaturdashi is the Appearance Day of Lord Nrsingadev, the most merciful protector of His devotees. Lord Narasimha is the half-man/half-lion Avatar of the Supreme Lord, Narayana. Out of love for His devotee, He manifested Himself out of a stone pillar to protect four-year-old Prahalad from his demon king father, Hiranyakashipu.

Although He appears ferocious in His ugra form, He is actually the sweetest of all to those who are surrendered to Him. Narasimha restores balance, eliminates all darkness and cleanses and purifies the mind of negativity. The world needs His energy, His grace and His power.

“The Lord shows His more powerful form and this ugra (ferocious) form to kill the anger, pride, egoism inside of us, showing that He is above all this.” – Paramahamsa Vishwananda.
