2 camana
(Sip one spoon of water after each mantra.
Take a little water from the vessel for worship with
an offering spoon onto the palm and sip it. This is
called achaman.. Just as bathing causes external
purification, partaking water in this way is
responsible for internal purification. This act is
repeated thrice. Thus physical, psychological and
spiritual, internal purification is brought about.)

44 Katha
Narasimha Avatar is a proof of the Lords
promise that, one who is totally surrendered
to him, will be under the protection of Lord
at all times.
Once Hiranyakasipu asked his son Prahlada,
what did he learn from his teacher? Prahlada
replied, I have learnt the essence of all the
learning that Narayana is the one who
illumines everything in the mind, gives bliss
and fulfillment to all. Prahladas answer
disappointed Hiranyakasipu, and he tried all
methods to divert his son from the devotion
to God. The child Prahlada was subjected to
all kinds of torture, but Prahladas devotion
to god strengthened further. Enraged at his
sons unshaken devotion to his arch enemy,
Hiranyakasipu decided to put an end forever
to Prahlada, by all possible means.
Prahlada was totally in bliss chanting the
name of Hari and survived all tortures
inflicted upon him. Finally, Hiranyakasipu
asked Prahlada, Who is this god that

protects you? Where is He?
Prahlada who had realized the omnipresence
of the Lord told that God is everywhere but
one who is slave to senses cannot see him.
As long as, one is having Ego and
attachment, one cannot see Hari, though he
is present within us and outside every being.
Angered by the reply Hiranyakasipu then
asked Prahlada Is Hari in this pillar?
Prahlada said YES HE IS. Hiranyakasipu
broke the pillar with his mace and split the
pillar into pieces. A terrible noice was
heard. It was like a clap of thunder. The lord
in the dreadful from of Narasimha emerged
from it. Due to the boon Hiranyakasipu had
(that he could not be slayed neither by a
man nor an animal), the lord had assumed a
terrible form of Narasimha (half-man and
half-lion). He seized the demon by throat,
placed him on his lap, tore his entrails with
his nails and killed him. The lord walked
with his dead victim and sat on the throne.
No one, neither Devas nor Brahma or
Lakshmi dared to go near him. This was
lords anger against the person who dared to
offend his devotee.
Though, everyone trembled at the sight and
the form of Narasimha, Prahlada stood
cheerfully in adoration without any fear, as
he saw the lord as an embodiment of love.
Lord Narasimha then commended Prahlada
to take over the kingdom and he ruled over
for long time with justice and righteousness.
Shri Narasimha Puja
24 | P a g e
For us Hiranyakasipu may appear as demon,

but in the view of divinity, he is an
instrument to help Prahlada to affirm faith
in god. If there had been no Hiranyakasipu,
there would have been no Narasimha
Avatar. To demonstrate the power of faith,
hatred has to be there in one side.
Hiranyakasipu was responsible for revealing
the devotion, love, faith and greatness of
Prahlada and for the appearance of Lord
Narasimha.
This story teaches us that we should do the
work that has come to us sincerely and
efficiently. We should give up attachments
and give up everything that is outside the
service of the lord. It also teaches us that
Lord prevails everywhere. Devotion can be
practiced at any point of time. Constant
faith in god leads to devotion. Make your
home and everyplace around you a
Vaikuntha, a place devoid of miseries and
temple of love and unity.
