ii) India is most fortunate place ( DEVBHOOMI ) as Lord Sri Hari took as many as 24 incarnations here and this Sri Narsingh Bhagwan incarnation is one of them .... Lord Sri Hari's 24 incarnations
Prahlada is a character from the Puranic texts of Hinduism, wherein he is famed for his exclusive devotion ( bhakti) to Vishnu, despite attempts in the story by his father, Hiranyakashipu to turn him to the contary. He is considered a mahajana, or great devotee, by followers of Vaishnava traditions and is of special importance to devotees of Narasimha avatar. A philosophical treatise is acredited to him in the Bhagavata Purana wherein Prahlada describes the process of loving worship to his lord, Vishnu. The majority of stories in the Puranas are based around the activities of Prahlada as a young boy, and thus he is more commonly depicted as such in paintings and illustrations.
After tolerating much abuse from his father Hiranyakiashipu, Prahlada is eventually saved by Vishnu in the form of Narasimha, the half-man, half-lion avatar .
In the Bhagavad Gita (10.30) Krishna makes the following statement in regards to Prahlada, showing his favour towards him:
"Among the Daitya demons I am the devoted Prahlada, among subduers I am time, among beasts I am the lion, and among birds I am Garuda."
Prahlada is counted amongst the demons because of the nature of his father Hiranyakashipu.
The great devotee Prahalada says, "to be equal in all conditions, is the worship of Achyuta.".. part 12 --Lord Vishnu names 308 to 362
...358.... Samayajnah –"Knower of all six systems of philosophy," or it can mean "One who knows the exact time (samaya) for creation, preservation and destruction." Or, it can also mean "One whose worship (Yajna) is nothing more than keeping an equal vision of the mind by the devotee"
Thus no wonder that in Chapter X of GITAJI has 45 verses , Lord Krishna describes His Divine Manifestations just like Prahalada in demons, Time in reckoners , Lion in quadrupeds , Garuda in birds , Lord Vishnu in sons of Aditi ,Sun among luminaries, Lord Shiva among Rudras , Lord Kartikeya among army-Generals , OM among sacred syllables , sage Narada among Devrishis , Lord Kapila among Sidhdhas , king among men, Lord Sheshnaag among serpents , Lord Rama among warriors , holy Ganges among streams ,spirituality among sciences , holy Gayatri mantra among hymns , Arjuna amongst Pandavas , Lord Vedvyasa among Munis and so on... ..Lord Sri Krishna is very happy whenever......
In fact , coming Sunday , 18th May , 2008 is SRI NARSINGH JAYANTI, i.e. when Lord Vishnu became Narsingh Bhagwan to kill Hiranyakashipu to save Bhakta Prahaladji.. ... humble bowing to God , His vibhutis alone can longer our healthy life , wisdom & intellect .
SRI NARSINGH BHAGWAN is Family-deity of Saint Manoharji .. 6 am stuti of Sri Nathji fame and thus Manoharji keeps a fast in celebration of His Deity's appearance day i.e. Narsingh Jayanti . He and all devotees also visit Sri Narsingh Temple in Vrindavan ... even at age of 88 ! . Location is near Sri Banke Bihariji or Radharamanji temple :Sri Hitharivanshji Jayanti of Radhavallabhji temple fame
Once Vivekanandaji asked Swami Ramkrishna Paramhansa why Lord Narasimha does not appear now when there are so many demons worse than Hiranyakashipu in the world now ? Swami Ramkrishna Paramhansa smilingly answered "There is not a single Prahlad to invoke Him.Prahlad had absolue FAITH in God being in everything including the pillar. We do not have that faith!"
