May their mind resort only to that which is good by Chanting the Divine names; and may our thought as well as the thought of others be fixed on You with out any motive

Nama Article 12th May 2014

 

May 13th 2014 is Narasimha Jayanthi. Lord Narasimha has incarnated just to make the words of His devotee Prahlada true.

 

Srimad Bhagavatham 5:18:8 & 9

 

ओं नमो भगवते नरसिंहाय नमस् तेजस्-तेजसे आविर्-आविर्भव वज्र-नख वज्र-दंष्ट्र कर्माशयान् रन्धय रन्धय तमो ग्रस ग्रस ओं स्वाहा अभयम् अभ अभयम् अभयम् आत्मनि भूयिष्ठा ओं क्ष्रौम्

 

स्वस्त्य् अस्तु विश्वस्य खलः प्रसीदतां ध्यायन्तु भूतानि शिवं मिथो धिया

मनश् च भद्रं भजताद् अधोक्षजे आवेश्यतां नो मतिर् अप्य् अहैतुकी

 

I offer my respectful obeisances unto Lord Narasimahaya, the source of all power. Hail to the light of lights. Fully reveal yourself, O my Lord who possesses nails and teeth just like thunderbolts, burn down, burn down our latent desires. Swallow up, swallow up all darkness (in the form of ignorance in our hearts) We offer our worship oh Lord ! please appear in our hearts so that by Your mercy we may become fearless in the struggle for existence in this material world.

May all be well throughout the universe, and may the wicked become gentle. May all living beings contemplate good to one another with their intellect and may their mind resort only to that which is good by Chanting the Divine names; and may our thought as well as the thought of others be fixed on You with out any motive (whatsoever)

 

Sri Ammãlu Ammãl song on our Kalyana Srinivasa Perumal, Madhurapuri

 

'nã kku kã la murtiyu neene' - 'Oh! Lord! One who is four 'kã la' Murti! At dawn ('udaya kã la') You are verily Sriman Narayana! From 10 to 12 noon You are Rama.

Sri Ramachandra Prabho! Why? When the Sun is so hot You stand as Rama in order to turn the Sun as cool as the Moon! So, You stand as Rama between 10 a.m. to 12 noon!

At dusk ('pradosha kã la') You stand as Lakshmi Narasimha, Oh! Lord!

At night ('sayana kã la') You stand as 'Dorai' (Lord) Venunã tha!

Gopinã tha! Gopijã ra! Gopi ka vallabha! Wearing such Names, You wander about at nights! You are verily the four 'kã la' murti.

"Hare" refers to Lord Narasimha.

 

An offense committed against the sadhus who have become one with Lord Krishna and who look at all with an even eye, certainly recoils soon on the offender

 

Little Prahlad by the Grace of His Guru Sage Narada, had an inexplicable love in Chanting the name of Lord Narayana. Prahlad's unstinted faith was the reason for The Lord to appear in a pillar.

 

I am not selfish. I will not feel elated, 'Oh! Lord is calling me,' and follow you. Crores of people are slogging in 'samsara'. What is the way out ('gati') for all of them?

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
