Narasimha Jayanti

Program:
Narasimha Jayanti marks the auspicious day when Lord Vishnu appeared as Narasimha, an anthropomorphic form of part lion and part man, to protect His ardent devotee, Prahlāda, from his demoniac father, Hiranyakashipu. This incarnation is identified as the fourth in the Daśāvatāra system (10 primary incarnations) of Lord Vishnu.

Some noteworthy connections of Lord Narasimha to Lord Hanuman and HH Sri Swamiji are as follows: The southward face of Lord Hanuman in his Pañcamukha (five faces) manifestation is that of Lord Narasimha and symbolizes removal of fear. From HH Sri Swamiji’s life history, one may recall that Lord Narasimha is the ancestral deity for His paternal family from Pūrvāśrama.
