Sri Nrsimhadeva
Lord
Nrsimhadeva (nara + siḿha =
human + lion) is the most fiercest incarnation of the Lord, who came to protect
His pure devotee, Prahlada Maharaja, against the
tortures of his evil father, Hiranyakasipu. While He
is feared by the demons and non-devotees, He is worshipped with love and
reverence by His devotees. His prayers are chanted after the āratī ceremony to beg for forgiveness for any
offenses that might have happened during the ceremony.
His
appearance day is celebrated on Nrsimha
Caturdasi.
The
prayers to glorify him are found on this page: Namaste
Narasimhaya (Sri Nrsimha Pranama).
