Lord Narasimha
Narasimha avatar is known as the fiercest avatar of Lord Vishnu among his Dashavatara. Lord Vishnu took this avatar to eliminate the demon king Hiranyakashipu, who had created havoc in all three dimensions.
Out of the several avatars of Lord Vishnu, ten important incarnations are classified as Dasaavataras. Among them Nrusimha avatar has attained a rare significance and importance. All His avatars are generally of a single form(apart from Varaha). But Narasimha avatar is of a dual form, Nara + Simha. Nara means man and Lion is an animal. Narasimha means a combined form of a Lion and a Man. This was the 4th avatar among the Dasavatars and it was a Sathya Yuga Avatar said to have taken place in Chakshuva Manvantar. It is said that in reference to Lord Narasimha is found in as many as 15 Puranas, and a separate Purana (Upa Purana) itself has been scripted in his name called Nrusimha Purana.
It was an instant avatar, called as Aavesa avatar (no prior preparations were made) where the Lord Narasimha appears in a very ferocious and fascinating form. Narasimha Avatar is referred to as a very powerful, precious avatar and the Lord Narasimha is depicted as a great protector at the time of need. He is the God of Gods. He is Mrithyu for the Mrithyu (one who eliminates the death cycles)
Sri Vishnu Sahasra Nama describes Lord Vishnu as “NaarasimhaVapu Sreeman Kesavah Purushothama” meaning He is the one who has taken a rare and unique form of a man and a lion whose worship will eradicate the ignorance, possessor of the Goddess of wealth Sri Maha Lakshmi,who always dwells in his chest, one who has beautiful and charming hair, the giver of knowledge to Gods, greatest among all Purushas, the Supreme Soul, who is omnipotent and omniscient.
FORMS OF NARASIMHA
There are several forms of Narasimha, but nine main ones collectively known as Navanarasimha:
Ugra-narasimha
Kruddha-narasimha
Vira-narasimha
Vilamba-narasimha
Kopa-narasimha
Yoga-narasimha
Aghora-narasimha
Sudarsana-narasimha

"Asura Qualities." From the Narasimha Uttara Upanishad. “The Exploration of the Mysteries of the Reply".
Tumblr media
From Chapter 5:
"One who knows like that would shine as God Para Brahma Narasimha, "The Solitary Supreme Reality, who consumes all evil as the Golden Lion Victor."
But what happens if all you do, think, and act out is due to corruption? What causes this?
Here begins the Sixth Chapter
6.1 Devas wanted to understand this Atma (soul). The Asura qualities caught hold of them. To get rid of that effect, they worshipped Narasimha who is the Thuriya soul which is in the summit of Omkara using the Anushtup Mantra.
-> And kind of hypocrisy, blasphemy, slander, corruption, lying, gossip, propaganda, and time delusion is permitted to cloud over the Grace of God in a person's and interfere with social justice, it is said the Asura Nature, the nature of the unholy spirit is at work.
The cure for these qualities of the devil is explained next:
6.2 Then the sin like Asura qualities itself became the great light of wisdom which is the prime happiness (like poison becoming medicine). Those devas (the faculties) became mentally calm, having their sensory organs under control, became those who were not attracted by worldly desires, became those having patience, became those whose conduct became stable, became those who were attracted by the Atma, became those who were having playfulness, unity and happiness, and became those who realized that “Om” is “light of Atma which is Para Brahmam”, and felt that all other places are empty and merged in to the “Om”.
-> By giving up and the prayers, the confessions, the holy banter, and focusing on the Life Essence itself instead, one will find one automatically achieved stability, dignity, happiness and playfulness, the hallmarks of a saint.
Austerity of speech, inwardly and outwardly is the first way to restrain the Unholy Spirit and find the true Spirit of God:
6.3 So the practitioner should do penance like devas, stabilize his mind in the Omkara Para Brahmam, and would make other people see his Atma as Para Brahmam.
-> "Omkara Para Brahman Atma Para Brahman= This God, the Most High, them essence of the Supreme Light of the Universe is the very same light by which I illuminate myself."
6.4 There is a holy stanza about this viz. “After meditating on the horns which are the different parts of Pranava and further meditating on the Thuriya Paramatma which is a horn but not a part, add the Nrusimha Raja Mantra to the different parts of Pranava."
-> To meditate upon the "horns" of the Pranava, "the sacred symbol" is but to remind oneself God is good, God is great, etc. all the different pathways to God's Grace till one recognizes these qualities as native to the open space within oneself.
First, the delusions have to go, then comes meditation on God as Pranava the Supremely Friendly Being, then upon the Self.
6.5 The three types of Devas (Sathvika, Rajasa and Thamasa) serve the Pranava in which, the first two letters (Aa and Uu) are merged and fixed in the third letter Ma and make themselves exalted.
There are three types of human nature according to the Upanishads. Each exists in homeostasis with the others. They are lackluster, delusional thoughts and desires called "Tamasa", agitated, angry or ambitious desires called "Rajasa" and noble thoughts and desires are called "Sattva".
They are represented by Aa Uu Mm the beginning, middle and end of the Sanskrit Alphabet, AKA Aum, OM, and ॐ.
To get rid of the Asura Qualities, aspects of the desire to be corrupt and yet long-lived, practice only the qualities of the Sattva, the saint and though shalt be successful.

New Odia Book Nrusinha Purana Odia Book By Pitambar Dash
Purana iterally meaning "ancient, old"is a vast genre of Indian literature about a wide range of topics, particularly about legends and other traditional lore.The Puranas are known for the intricate layers of symbolism depicted within their stories. Composed originally in Sanskrit and in other Indian languages,several of these texts are named after major Hindu gods such as Vishnu, Shiva, Brahma, and Adi Shakti.The Puranic genre of literature is found in both Hinduism and Jainism.
The Nrusingha Purana is one of these texts and its has special significance because it contains many storys related to lord vishnus incaration as Rama.
Nrusimha Purana is one of the Upapuranas. R.C. Hazra in his Studies in the Upapuranas came to the conclusion that the original text was written in the later part of the 5th century, though several portions of it were added much later. This work was translated into Telugu about 1300.

War elephants rush, tails raised, at an unexpected intruder as he disembowels their master at the palace gates!
Gruesome sight confronts them as Nrusimha is garlanded in the entrails of Asur king Hiranyakashyapu, and rivulets of blood spill on the pristine palace floor!
God can take any form to protect his devotees! Even a composite form of human and animal to keep the promise given by Brahma and at the same time protect Prahalada!

Happy world book day: Importance of Scriptural Evidence in Hinduism
Tumblr media
In  Indian philosophy, there are six types of Pramana among which three types are considered major ones and accepted by most of the schools of Indian philosophy  
 Pramana means that which yields knowledge (prama Karanam pramanam)
Pratyaksha is the first means of knowledge – pratyaksha means that which is seen with ones very own eyes, or in a broader sense, one’s perceptual evidence. Though this is the first in the list of means of knowledge, this is considered to be very limited. Because one’s own life is limited and also their personal experiences and perceptions, sometimes they can also be faulty.
Anumana is the second means of knowledge in the order  anumana means inference, logical guess or assumption. A classical example for anumana is if smoke is visible, then there may be fire which is burning.  Prakyaksha and anumana work hand in hand most of the times to arrive conclusions.
Upamāṇa pramana (comparison and analogy) is the next in the list of pramanas, for comparison and analogy also. The scriptural material plays a vital role.
Arthapatti (postulation, presumption) in next the list of pramanas, generally considered the weakest of the pramanas by most of the schools
Anupalabdi ( non-perception, negative/cognitive proof.) such as understanding that something is absent or something is not present
The last in the order is shabda pramana, (word or testimony) or textual evidence, in my opinion this is one of the greatest pramana, (means of knowledge) to understand or learn something, we depend largely on textual evidence, because it is the collected record of experiences, perceptions and inference of great ones, the experts, the real intellectuals and the wise.
Vedas (shruti) is the first and foremost and ultimate shabda pramana in hindu philosophy, smrutis, purana, itihasa, and other sacred scriptures also fall under this category.
 The Vedanta, Sankhya and yoga schools accept pratyaksha. Anumana, and shabda as the main and reliable pramanas among which shabda pramana is of foremost importance
 By this we can conclude that the testimonial evidence of word or textual evidence, of past or present reliable experts is the most proper and wide means of knowledge.
To acquire detailed knowledge on any matter, books are thus the best source, reading is the best practice.
 To learn and acquire knowledge on various topics of Hinduism please read, read more…
 To read the translations and commentaries of sacred scriptures of Hinduism  in simple English you can get my books from Amazon and other online book stores.

The King of Mantras from the Nrisimha Tapaniya Upanishad, "The Exploration of the Mysteries of The Golden Victor."
Tumblr media
In the First Upanishad contained in the Narasimha Tapaniya, the sage says the golden-lion-hero thinks and says what is needed to defeat corruption and evil all around him.
The Second Upanishad explains the words:
The Second Upanishad
Devas were afraid of death, sins and family life. They approached Praja Pathi [praja= democratic, pathi= model]. He told them about the Narasimha Mantra which was “the King of all Mantras” written in Anushtup “activity with a conclusion” meter. Because of this, they won victory over death. They won over all sins and also destroyed the problems of family life. So any of those who are afraid of death, sins and family life, should get themselves taught the “Narasimha Mantra” which is called “the King of Mantras” and which is written in anushtup meter.
They all would win over death and win over sin as well problems due to family life. The King of Mantras: [The following is a simple translation of the King of Mantras of Lord Narasimha and what follows is an explanation and justification of each description.)
My salutations to That Nrusimha, Who is fierce, Who is heroic, Who is Maha Vishnu, Who is burning, Who has faces every where, Who is half Lion and half Man, Who is fearful, Who is safe, Who is death and deathlessness. He is called “Ugra [fierce]” because by his power He creates, looks after, destroys and elevates without break and also attracts all devas [gods], all beings, all bhoothas [buddhas]
Hey Lord Narasimha, you who is being praised by me, please give me perennial happiness even when I am in this body which is not permanent. Let your soldiers kill all my enemies who are different from me.
1 He is called “Veera [heroic]” because by his power He makes all worlds, all devas, all beings and all boothas play, and allow them to take rest and also creates, helps them grow and attracts without any break these worlds, devas, beings and boothas. He is behind every action, very capable, mountain like and one who fulfills the desires of devas.
2 He is “Maha Vishnu”, because he pervades in all the worlds and makes all the world pervade, similar to the fatty gum that spreads in all meat, from this side to that and also from other side to this side. There is nothing in the world that is not him. He is pervading in all things in the world. He is the leader of all souls. Worship of souls is His worship. He exists in all the three shining things viz. Moon, Sun and fire.
3 He is called “Jwalantham [burning]”, because he makes the entire world which includes all devas, all beings and all Bhoothas shine because of his luster and also shines in them and makes them release flames. He is the one who created the world and makes it rapidly multiply. He is the one who shines because of his own luster and also makes others shine. He spreads heat throughout the world and makes the world swelter. He spreads his rays everywhere and makes them release rays. He has a personality which causes only good. He gives only that which is good and he is good.
4 He is called “Sarvatho Mukham [having faces everywhere]” because he sees everywhere without having any organs, he is able to hear every thing, he is able to go every where, he is able to attract everything, and also because he is spread everywhere and exists every where. In the beginning he was alone and he has become all these things now. Those who rule over the world came from him. In the end everything goes back and merges in him. I salute him who has faces
5 Among all animals the most fear some and also most special is the lion. That is why God of the Universe took birth as Narasimha. That deathless form became one which does good to the entire world. That is why he is called “Narasimham [half man and half lion]”. That Maha Vishnu who has this fearsome form does not cause fear among his devotees. He is being worshipped and praised by them. He is the one who travels all over earth and also one who lives on the mountain top. In his form of Trivikrama, he measured all the worlds in three steps.
6 He is called "Bheeshanam [fear full]” because all the crowds of devas, men and Bhoothas and all the worlds run away fearing Him; but he is not afraid of anything. The wind blows because it is afraid of Him. The Sun rises above because he is afraid of Him. It is because of fear for Him, that the God of fire, Indra and the God of death do their work.
7 He is called “Bhadram [safe]’ because he is good things personified, because he forever shines giving good things, because he makes others shine, because he is superior and because he does very good things. Hey Devas, we have to hear with our ears about this “Bhadram”. Hey, those of you who are fit to be worshipped, we have to see with our eyes that “Bhadram”. Let us live as much as the Gods live with healthy organs and healthy bodies praising and singing Him.
8 He is called “Mruthyu-Mruthyum [death and deathlessness]” because just by mere thought of His devotees, he destroys death and untimely death to them. He is one who gives the knowledge of the soul and also one who gives strength. All devas bow before Him and praise Him. Let us satisfy Him by offering Him “Havis-food” through the fire sacrifice because even his shadow is nectar and he is the death which destroys death.
9 He is worshipped by the chanting of “Namami [I salute him]”, because he is being worshipped by all devas, all those who have forsaken his world and all those who swear by Brahmam and also because the lord of the Vedas worship him telling these words. Indra, Mithra (Sun), Aryama (most noble spirit) and all other devas exist in him.
10 I was born before this world which is pretty and orderly. I existed even before the devas. I am the central power of that which never dies. He who gives me (in my form as food for people) in charity, becomes the one who protects the soul. If given without understanding this, I who am food, eat the one who eats. I am the one who becomes all the world and destroys it. My light is like that of a sun, who standing alone gives light to all the world. This Upanishad says that one who understands this attains salvation.
-> There is very little I can add except to say this Upanishad is trying to teach us how to flatter God in every possible perceivable way. Other Upanishads take a nihilistic approach, "Self is not this, it is not that, it is not a cat, it is not a hat"- but this Narasimha Tapaniya Upanishad conjures up a God with a personality.
Anytime this happens in mantra, scripture, liturgy, or sacrament it is meant to teach us how to be more like Him without giving up all the possibilities within the Self.
