20080518 || Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 7.8.17 (Bhakti turns arrows into lotuses) || Śrī Māyāpur, India

A spoken religious lecture (transcript) recounting the story of Prahlad Maharaj and the appearance of Lord Narasiṁha (Narasimha) from a pillar to protect his devotee and kill the demon Hiranyakashipu. The speaker narrates multiple pastimes and incarnations of Narasiṁha, miracles protecting Prahlad (weapons turning into lotuses, elephants failing), temple traditions and pilgrimages in South India, and contemporary devotional experiences and reports of devotees receiving blessings through Narasiṁha worship.
To prove that the statement of his servant Prahlat Maharaj was substantial in other words, to prove the Supreme Lord is present everywhere even within the pillar of an assembly hall the supreme personality of Godhead Ali exhibited a wonderful form never before seen. The form was neither that of a man nor that of a lion Thus the Lord appeared in his wonderful form in the assembly hall Is he present in his pillar? Bahlad Maharaj fearlessly replied yes, my Lord is present everywhere. Therefore, to convince Yilani Khashivu that the statement of Bahlat Maharaj was unmistakably true the Lord appeared from the pillar the Lord appeared as head lion and head man so that Hiradi Bathshebu could not understand whether the great giant was a lion or a human being. To substantiate Prahlat statement the Lord proved that his devotee as declared in Bhagavad Gita is never vanquished. The morning father had repeatedly threatened to kill Prahlad Prahlad was confident that he could not be killed since he was protected by the Supreme Lord. By appearing from the pillar the Lord encourages devotees saying in effect don't worry, I am present here. By manifesting his form as machine deity the Lord also preserved the truth of Lord Brahma's promise that Hiranyakatshevu was not to be killed by any animal or any man. The Lord appeared in a form that may not be said to useful. So in Namashima Bhagavata describes the appearance of Narasingadeva to fulfill a statement of his devotee Nitya Prithya Bhashika a word spoken by his servant his devotees were proven to be true. The Lord is present everywhere Also he promised that his devotee was not perished so he was protected by Lord Narashini devil For lot they weren't successful finding any Thyro doesn't seem an aim will kill him. Let me just get rid of him. So he had them put in the bottom of the ocean and had them pile a mountain of rocks, stones, boulders on top of there. This will keep him out of sight creating more problems. There he was under this tons and tons of hundreds. I don't know how many mountain how much is the mountain? Hundreds of thousands or millions of tons of smoke. Then Prahla became light. He had the mystical power to be heavier than the heaviest light in the light became very light so light that he floated to the top of the ocean and popped out from that pile of boulders. So these things were frustrating Mirandhi Kashifu They Decided I could kill him myself. That's when his column. So just at the right time the Lord appeared out of the column, was defeated. Or the Padmapura. It mentions that Prahlad Radhika Sifu Narasimha Day. They appear many times. It's not only this one time. At least three different. Two different incarnations in other days of Brahma are described in the Padmapura. One of those times he worshipped Shiva. He got the blessing. Another time he worshipped Brahman. When he was worshipping Shiva, he wanted Prahlat meant that he was supreme. Then he said that well, we don't want to admit I am supreme. At least that meant that she was supreme. He is a Padish. Prahlad didn't accept that either. Prahlad was very mixed up by Shava. You know, very clearly rule as supreme was. He got prenatal instruction in the womb of his mother Kayadul. He was instructed by Narada Muni. Narad is very merciful. He saved Prahlat from the Devas and took her to his ashram. When she was carrying Prahlat and then instructed her. So later she forgot a lot of the things. But Prahlat remembered everything. So that's what before he was born he was already trained up Teachers of Prahlat Rabins learning to get all this information from. They weren't teaching him all this Vishnu Tattva. So they were surprised. Another I can't remember whether it was with the Shiva time or the Brahma time. One time Padma Quran says how when Bhakta Prahlak was preaching about Vishnu Bhakti and everything. Then Hiramika Shivu got very angry and sent his soldiers to kill him. So first they tried and they struck him with a sword. But as soon as the weapon would hit Prahlat, it turned into a blue lotus. Neil Upal blue lotus. Another soldier came out with his spear and went to stab Prahlat in the heart. Ilino. But as soon as it touched Kolat, it turned into a blue lotus. Someone came out with his arrow. Raaaa. More blue lotuses. Whatever they would attack him with simply became blue lotuses. So he was covered by a big pile of blue lotus. They were not able to harm him. Rather they're doing boost punctually like that. Then so many other things they tried killing. They sent one big Custer elephant were running. Then the elephant went to champion with his touch. A big tusker. When that tusk hit Prahlad, it broke off. And then without any tusk, he was demoralized or Running away. Of course. In the Bhagavatam it says that maybe this wise man contaminated by the preaching of some Vaishnava. So he told his elite soldiers to guard the school and make sure no Vaishnava goes in. They see any Vaishnava get close to the guru goal, killing their guarding with their weapons. Little they know that the Vaishnav is already inside Bhakta Prahlad. He's teaching the students the chant Marik. So like this hominy exchanges between for love Radnaka Jebu. Actually Radnaka Jebu was a child abuser in the worst way. Wanted to kill him, try to get rid of him in so many ways. Hatred demon on the child abusers protected by Darshana devil. The ending Atma Purana mentions that another Kalpa, a Ratnika Shivu asked I can be killed by man, by animal, by deva hunt, by anything living in nail. But he didn't mention in or out. Like in this thing that's not inside or outside. But in that dinner he didn't mention. So that didn't have to be killed in a doorway. So like they found little differences there. In each of the past 10:00 clock until sundown. Like in America in the cowboy movies. They said he got till sun tower. You can give it till sundown. By that time your Lord doesn't come. Then you're finished. It said that there was elaborate arrangement for worshipping Himanyakashipu. That they built a big air condition facility which was like over 100 km long and 50 wide. Very high. Even airplanes could fly inside. It when you went inside was air conditioned, so it didn't feel heat or cold also so cool, Always pleasant. They had a special buffet. If you're hungry, you can go eat whatever you want. But even then if you're inside, you don't feel very hungry. But still, if you wanted you could enjoy. Then there was a big high like altar with a big throne on it. Hirani Kashuku would sit and all hundred billions of people would be in there and singing Hiranyakashihu kirta. Then say, what was the fifth time? We love you Hiradeka Sifu. You give us sense gratification. You are a great guy. Something like that. So suddenly they had big gatherings, fountains, a beautiful Verenika Shipu would get worshipped not as a representative of Vishnu, but as the supreme himself. Then Mulak still wouldn't accept it. For his mutiny, his impudence. He told him they have until sunset and I kill you then Nar Singaden he appeared outside of this big facility and he was walking to the town people the demon people living in Ruanna Kashipur's city they saw that him and got frightened and ran. He entered into the stadium whatever you call it air conditioned facility and he was flying in the back which I can't before the running council said what is this called his air force commander tell this whatever he is we don't allow any beast into our stimulator he should immediately go out otherwise and go kill him. So they went there to tell Maharshi and they to leave. He didn't leave. Then they went into a tactic the sergeant's Ishar his Ming spread out if any airplane hit the main any missile they would pulverize into ashes Just fall down ashes on the people below. Just like sometime in the airport you see these some kind of special lights the box fly into it they get burned so so many of these the whole air force was destroyed. Then Iranian Kashibu he had special missiles so he told them to release the missile all kind of special missile to immediately destroy anything. So one after another he was throwing missiles at Vilniya at the Narshi they someone hit his hair and burned some nashimi they would catch look at throw it back and explode. Nothing was harming machine Finding all the weapons all the military, all that Therefore everything was destroyed. Then Hiranyaka Shipu himself went to attack the Srinidae fight was fairly similar Touching, releasing flying in the air fighting with each other when it was the right time. Then Narcinyadev grabbed Hiranyakashipu like a big buck this time he sat on his throne took him and bifurcated him and took out the intestine Said that Lakshmi Devi could approach and Bhagavatami that he was too angry Even she couldn't approach but this one she could approach I know there's little differences she sat on Nasaya dev's lap the devas wanted to approach and offer prayers but he was so intense the effulgence from a shinigam they told the communion like whispered to Lakshmi that defulgence cooling please the Lord has different kinds of Jyoti intense heart Jyoti and also cooling Jyoti like moon rays Then she whispered something in his ears he switched the Jyoti to pulling pulling mode Then everyone came and offered prayers and Prahlad came and offered Isn't that very interesting that there's not only one time Duchenni Day comes last year in 2007. We went to South India. Divya Dasha Coridova. Not very well safari. Though we went to different temples. The Saga Patnam. There's the Varaha there. Simha temple or Simha Chalam. How many of you have went to the Singhatulam? You're there the Yatra. Not The Yaja. The 2,500 devotees. They met them in their zone at the Sina Chandra. Later he went to Tirupati. So he said, Prahlad, you were praying in a Shaya name that I saw. Your form is delivered by father. But when you came in the form of Brahadav and delivered my uncle, I didn't see that. Because revealed that to me. The Lord Narasimhadev appeared. Then he assumed the unique form of Varaha Vayatima where his head became like the boar. And then his boar, lion and man. All the three. So he is a very hot form. After killing Hiranyaksha they say. I don't know if it's true, but the local Pujaris say that was the place of Prahlad's Gurukul. Anyway, Prahlad made this appeal to nushing idea to study history. And he looked at form to show Prahlad his Rahab. So that deity has sold since the time of the last Prahlad. And it is millions of years old. Maybe he's a little warm. They put a sambal will call upon him every three months. 45 kilos every three months. So by the end of one day they take it all off. That's an Akshay Chitiya. And everybody can have a darshan oven without sandalwood. And then that evening they put sandalwood again. For the rest of the year you can always see the sandalwood. Like a big egg of sandalwood coffee, sandalwood case with a big T lock on the sandalwood covering the beading. After three months they put another 45 kilos. Another three months, another 45. Like that three, four times they put. Then they take it off for one day. And then they put again. You saw now my mother. So one year I got special permission. Samba bribed me again. In a call quick to the executive officer has given permission and you can go directly to see the deity. Normally there's an eight hour wait. 300,000 people queuing up all night, all day. Once a year, for 12 hours, the deity opens. Everybody wants to see. So I could go up. I could go up the exit, show my path. Maybe La Samara. He had like four or five People five people passed. Finally got into the main temple through the exit. Everything was through the exit. Then the policeman came, looked at, said I'm burned out. Too many people. I can't handle it. I'm sorry. Tough luck. We were feeling so much. Just let us know how special it was to get this darshan. Then some of the president Shawn climbed over the fence and went in, saw the EO and saw the police chief. This was just some lower guy. They came and let us in wear a head. There's this huge show of people coming in. And they let me go behind all the volunteers. The other devotees have to enter behind them and got right out. They let me into the daily room like as far away as that video. See the head is considered as a hairdog beautiful deity. So then somehow they forgot about me. And I was in there for like 10 minutes. And everyone else was getting apology type, you know, two second dash like taking prayers. And they smiled. Hey Lord mercy. But even if you go there when it's not that day, you don't see the deity. You can buy a photo or a drawing of what the form looks like. But you can feel the deity's presence in the middle of that Chandra. Then there's Mangal Giddy by Vijayvana. Watch it tell you this. And there, there this. You got to climb up this hill. Something like 200. I don't know how many steps pulled out my knee. And that's if I climb on all these steps. You get way up to the top and then there's a special cube and then there's the face of the Devi into the stove and he may bring some gur water and pour it at the Hindu puja. Takes a big munchl, puts it in, pours into the mouth of the deity. You hear it going like he's drinking or something. And then somehow half the conciliation filled up again by Prashada Gordwar Mopana. One of the names here is Pananarasima. And everybody was drinking. Leaders of China Ringa they say that deity in the Satya Yuga they offer somaras. In the Dvarbara Yuga they offer ghee and the main gym because people are poor. So they offer the panaka. Panaka Gur water with spices. It's like a lemonade with gur. We have the gausha there we go down right in the base. There's a new temple was recently built in the Dvarbara Yuga Yudhist here Maharaj. It's very new. Mongol is there since you was. This is only 5000 years old. Madhura temple. This has a Lakshmi Narasimha built by Maharashtra Pandav. Few years ago we visited our Shinga at Sulfais. We went all the Shinga temples. We went to Ahogalam last year. I didn't want to take Ahogalam to climb all kinds of mountains and stuff. So some of the youth went there with a side party. The main pride didn't take. But we went there. We put the footprints of Lord Chaitanya there. Lord Chaitanya had visited the whole world there. They have 10 deities. Nine are ancient deities. And another one's like. You know, even more modern. Like 2000, 1000 years old. I don't remember them. We went to see seven of the last one. You had to go to beam in the jungle. So we did. Two of them we didn't see. But the seven we saw there was one Hanuman temple. Then Hanuman and Arshinadev appeared before Hanuman said, I'm your Lord. You're not my Lord. My Lord is Ramchandra Ghee. He said, I'm Ramchandra. You don't look like. You look like a lion. Prove it. So then he got Narshi and they manifested Ram's bow and arrows in his hand. Then when Hanuman saw that, he said, you're my Mubu and pages of basis. So they still had the bow and arrows. I mean fire into the stone. They had so many. I can't remember all the pastimes there. The fresh was six years ago. There are beautiful temples. You can see our mothers with Rima Lobot Chaitanya there we went to. Also in Karnataka there's a milk hotel named. He was trying to meditate on Shinga Dev. And the Shinga Dev says, you don't know how to meditate. This is how you do it. And he took the Yoga Asana and was showing Prahlad how to meditate on it. So even the Lord is teaching his devotee how to do the pastimes. So that's called Yoga Narasimha. How many seen the Yoga Narasimha classroom? Bengal. That's also many steps you have to climb. So like that. There are many different Nishinga temples. And especially in South India, of course. Here we have our Nasinga Poli where the Lord Nasinga was flying over Nadudev. And he landed in Nirshinga Poli. And he wasn't approachable after killing Hiranyakashihu. But here he became very approachable. So all the Devas built cottages around Machinid, built cabins. And they were serving him, giving him boga and fenning and doing all kinds of personal services. So here in Avadib Dao, the Lord is accessible. And of course when Mari Gupta was chanting the Vishnu Satsunam when he got to Nirshingade, Lord Chittendenhura Nirshingade ran out with his teeth. Where are the demons? Where are the demons of Kilima? People were seeing the huge swarm of Lord Chaitanu the stick trying to kill demons. And then they all started running. And Lord Chaitanya when he saw that running he came back to normal consciousness. And he told Mari Gupta he scared all those people. No, just by seeing you in that mood, you're all liberated. So Lord Shetchande manifested in Mayapur this mood of looking for the demons. And somehow our shined Stanuna Simba when he comes out from that column and he's looking for the demons, he's looking or just reading the a new book they published about Maharashinha Leelas here in Mayapur. Everybody got their little pastimes there. When one lady was praying in the Shaya day for some service she turned around upon the Jungisa to be helpful. Some service from Shahidi. He welcomed the China arena. Shahidi Chirang awakened to the lady. She said, he gives instant blessings. Somebody was going blind. Two people blind. One person had some accident. One eye was already damaged. Another doctor said, you're going to lose it. He went to brain in the shiny day and it became you get full eyesight. Apart from that, there's the other lady who's gradually going by. She's very merciful. Since we had Nasinhe day, no more decorate. The text will come. Must be by his mercy. Someone was saying, why are we worshipping Nasringa Dev? Why not use marvel? And then some dream mother came and said, Nasana Dev is not different for me than every time the Lord is looking at Nasringdevs with the face of mother. That's why the Guru of the Astapati agreed to let us have this Nusendev who is very ferocious. Because he said that Ka devotees so they worship him like Krishna and he'll be very merciful to them. If you try to achieve Krishna or machine while you're in Mayanpur, try to speak and do something God is supposed to do. He knows everything. Would recommend any questions? Comments?
