Contd from 12-05-14........ E- Satsang members missed out all our previous postings can read them in my timeline.... TODAY IS NARASIMHA JAYANTHI. NAMADWAAR TEAM AND OUR SWAMIJI WISHES ALL OUR MEMBERS HAPPY NARASIMHA JAYANTHI.... ------------------------- EXCERPTS FROM A DISCOURSE BY OUR SRI SRI MURALIDHARA SWAMIJI..... Lord Narasimha has incarnated just to make the words of His devotee Prahlada true. Prahlada, blessed by his Guru Sage Narada, has always chanted the divine name of the Lord and was blessed to be seated on the lap of the Lord. Sri Suka narrates the various incarnations of the Lord and His instructions (upadesa) in each of His incarnations out of sheer Compassion to the souls (jiva); and, the lives of the Lords devotees in Srimad Bhagavatham. More touching are the lives of devotees of the Lord – Little Dhruva, blessed by His Guru Sage Narada, drawing the Lord with his intense tapas. Little Prahlads steadfast devotion to the Lord notwithstanding innumerable brutal punishments inflicted on him by his demon (Asura) father Hiranyakashipu Little Prahlad by the Grace of His Guru Sage Narada, had an inexplicable love in Chanting the name of Lord Narayana. Prahlad was subjected to a number of ordeals by his Asura father Hiranyakashipu. He was thrown into a lime kiln; was given food mixed with poison; was sentenced that he should be trampled to death by an elephant; was then dragged over to the top of a steep mountain and thrown down; was thrown in a fire, the child was tied to a big rock and thrown in to the deep sea. He came unharmed by Gods grace from all these. Angered by defeats, Hiranyakashippu challenges Prahlad (pointing to a pillar), Does Lord exists in this pillar? Prahlad in full faith says, Yes, of course, I see the Lord in this! and immediately The Lord is to be found in the pillar! Prahlad did not do any puja, prana pratishta (installation of the Presence), Laksharchanai (lakh archanai) to acquire the presence of Lord Nrisimha Swami there. Prahlads unstinted faith was the reason for The Lord to appear there. Coming out of the pillar, Lord Nrisimha Swami calls Prahlad, Come! My child! I will take you to Vaikuntam (Lords abode). Prahlad says, 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? I may come to your place along with all of them. I am not one to sit on your lap just because you have called me, and make merry. I will come only along with all (the others). Is it not true that Mahans are of such nature? !!! More devotion through e-satsang to follow - Be blessed !!! ------------------- Regards & Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan: Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Pl visit namadwaar.org/home.php or listen and chant along with the tune...
