శ్రీ నృసిమ్హ జయంతి శుభాభినందనలు....😊💐🌸🍟👏....
స్వాతి నక్షత్రం రోజున శ్రీనారసిమ్హ స్వామి వారి జన్మనక్షత్రంగా విశేష ఉత్సవాలు జరుపబడడం ఎల్లరికీ విదితమే...
శ్రీచాగంటి సద్గురువుల శ్రీమద్భాగవత ప్రవచనాల్లో శ్రీనృసిమ్హవైభవం విన్నవారికి తెలిసినట్టుగా నృసిమ్హావతారం నిజంగా చాలా ప్రశస్తమైన బహు శక్తివంతమైన బహు అరుదైన శ్రీహరి అవతారం....
అస్మద్ గురుదేవుల వాగ్వైభవంలో జ్యోతకమయ్యే ఆ నృసిమ్హావతార మహిమ్నతను శ్రీభద్రాచల క్షేత్రపాలకుడైన బహుశక్తివంతమైన శ్రీయోగ నారసిమ్హుడి అనుగ్రహంతో కొంత విశదీకరించే ప్రయత్నం గావిస్తాను....
( గోదావరి నదీగర్భంలో స్వయంభువై కొలువుతీరిన శ్రీయోగనృసిమ్హుణ్ణి శ్రీభద్రాచల ఆలయానికి ఎదురుగా ఉన్న ఒక కొండగుట్టపై శ్రీపాంచరాత్ర ఆగమోక్తంగా ప్రతిష్ఠింపబడిన ఆ వృత్తాంతం చాలా మందికి తెలుసనే అనుకుంటా..)
దుష్టశిక్షణ శిష్టరక్షణ గావించి ధర్మసంస్థాపనే లక్ష్యంగా భగవంతుడు అవతరించుట అనునది మన అధ్యాత్మ సంప్రదాయంలో జగద్విదితమైన సత్యం...
శ్రీనృసిమ్హావతారాన్ని బాగా క్షుణ్ణంగా అధ్యయనం గావిస్తే అధ్యాత్మ జిజ్ఞ్యాస పరులకు కొందరికైనా ఒక సందేహం వచ్చి ఉండాలి....
1. ఎప్పటినుండో తండ్రి రూపంలో ఉన్న రాక్షసుడైన హిరణ్యకశిపుడు, బంగారు రంగులో మెరిసిపోతూ ఉండే పదునుదేలిన గోర్లతో ఉండే ఒక రాక్షసుడు. బంగారు కళ్ళతో ఉండే అన్న హిరణ్యాక్షుణ్ని శ్రీహరి శ్రీవరాహావతారం దాల్చి సమ్హరించాడనే కోపంతో కఠోర తపమాచరించి బ్రహ్మగారిచే ఎన్నో కండీషన్లతో కూడిన వరంతో అమరత్వాన్ని సాధించాననే భ్రమలో బ్రతుకుతూ శ్రీహరి పై గల వైరంతో సొంత కొడుకునే యమయాతనలకు గురిచేస్తు బ్రతికే మూర్ఖుడిగా మనం ఎన్నో సినిమాల్లో ఆల్రడి చూసి ఉన్నాము.
లౌకికమైన ఈ కథాంశంతో ముడిపడి ఉండే తత్త్వసమన్వయం ఏంటో ఇప్పుడు చర్చిద్దాం..
1. His elder HiranyaakSha was killed by Lord ShreeHari by donning the avatar of SriYajnyaVaraaha Moorthi....
( I am not going in to all those details of
" Jnyaanappiraan " / BhoovaraahaMoorthi protecting the planet earth that was captured by the demon HiraanyaakSha etc...)
2. Keeping this enmity in mind, HiraNyakaShipa did a staunch penance and got Brahma deva's darshan upon which he has immediately asked for immortality as the boon....
As usually, Lord Brahma states that it is not feasible for him to grant immortality to the creatures of this mortal planet because he himself has a certain fixed duration called "BrahmaKalpam" after which another new BrahmaDeva would be posted in his place...
Upon listening to this, the so called intelligent demon starts displaying his skills by framing a matrix of all the typical species and situations that exist on this planet to exclude them from his death matrix because he has assumed that his intelligent ask has pretty much included everyone and everything under the sky that shall not dare to touch him because of the power of the Brahma Deva's boon... and he goes on reading the long list saying...
"
None of the existing species
on the planet like
( Manushya Deva daanava yaksha kinnera kimpurusha siddha saadhya vidhyaadhara naaga and so on....)
Not in the skies, Not on the earth, Not in the water,
Not in the morning, Not in the night,
Not with a thing that has life and Not with a thing that doesn't have a life,
Shall he get killed....
"
was his ask as a boon from the BrahmaDeva...
As usually, Lord Brahma employed his counter intelligence to assess the cosmic matrix required by Lord ShreeMahaaVishnu to be able to put an end to this stupid as well by going above the so called restrained realm to execute the demon's death matrix....and said "Asthu..."
With this boon in place, this stupid fellow almost behaved like an uncontrollable cruel creature and started torturing all the innocent and common folk even though they didn't bother him...
Interestingly he has developed enmity with his own Son Prahlaada who was a staunch devotee of Lord ShreeHari by birth by the virtue of NaaradaMaharshi's good Samaritan preaching when Leelavathi was carrying him in her womb...
Devotee Son Prahlaada says Lord Shree Hari is everywhere...
Demon Father Hiranyakashipa says ShreeHari is some virtual magician who exists no where and states that he himself is the Lord for everyone...
Bhakata Prahlaada lives by believing, preaching, practicing,
" Yacchakinchith Jagathsarvam druShyatay Shrooyataypivaa....
Antarbahishcha tathsarvam vyaapya NaaraayaNa sthitaha...."
Demon Hiranyakashipa lives by assuming the concept of
" I am an immortal and thus God and thus the ruler for everyone..."
In this TuTu - MyMy sort of daily scuffle between father and Son, the demon grew so arrogant that he couldn't digest the fact that his own Son isn't listening to him and his ask of forgetting HariBhakti and starts torturing his Son in every possible way to put and end to that little devotee kid practising his simple HariBhakti...
On one fine evening of VaiShaakhaSuddhaChaturdaShi with Swathi Naksatram shining bright in the skies,
( Swathi Nakshatraadhi Devata is Rahu, who is known for gulping even the brightest of the Sun and the Moon during their eclipse times )
their argument goes to the peaks of venting out his ire and frustration which makes him hit one of the pillars of his palace with a mace, shouting at his Son asking if his ShreeHari is present in this typical pillar....
To their surprise, a gigantic roaring ferocious form of a Human+Lion that was never known before emanates all of a sudden from that pillar
( Ahobala Sthambhodbhava UgraNaarasimha Moorthi ) and unfolds that much required divine drama of
HiraNyakaShipa Vadha in the most brutal manner that was never considered by Lord Shree Hari in any of his earlier avataars donned to carry out demon annihilation activity...
Not in the morning, Not in the evening
" During the uttara sandhyaa..."
Not on the earth, Not in the skies, Not in the water,
By standing on the GaDapa ( the door threshold ) of the Antahpuram,
by capturing and placing the arrogant demon Hiranyakashipa on his broad muscular thighs like that of Sylvester Stallone by using his sharp curly strong nails,
he ripped off the demon's belly, pulled out all his intestines and threw them helter skelter and completed the Hiranyakashipa vadha in a most gruelling way....
Bhakta Prahlaada had to sing several prayers only upon which the UgraNaarasimha calmed down and blessed the devotees around...
Apart from being in-line with the points mentioned by the stupid demon while asking his boon, Lord SriHari took some more steps like
1. Choosing to emanate from a Stambham instead of appearing via any otherwise...
Stambham represents a supporting means for any huge edifice....
i.e., from the ground/floor the slab/roof of a construction takes support from the pillar and establishes it's existence....
In other words, if no pillar then no slab/roof can exist firmly....
Similarly, the mortal plane of existence that human beings and other species use to live i.e., the planet earth and all of the various planes above it from which the earth born species derive their food, energy, power, and thus life are connected firmly by a supporting structure called a cosmic divine pillar...
that may or may not be visible to everyone...
To those who have that blessing it is made visible by the God and to all others it just remains some "unknown space" that holds all the elements that support our life on the earth...
To those who had a chance to listen to an interesting folk song rendered by sadguru Shree ChaaganTi gaaru that starts with
" UnnaDayaa DevuDunnaaDaya..."
( It's got posted on my FB wall too a few years ago..)
that divine pillar would be visible to their cosmic vision...
2. Killing the demon by tearing off his belly to rip through his intestines...
( He could have very well simply plucked off his head or heart or lungs etc.. so that it would have been a simple and a less messy annihilation activity...)
Let's take the example of how a typical smart Qa Manager and a smart Dev manager work in tandem to resolve an S1:P1 ticket....
After a thorough assessment of the issue / problem and it's deviation from the expected behavior of the feature/component in question, the Qa personnel logs a bug and the corresponding team's Qa manager does a thorough follow up until a satisfactory resolution is provided by dev and after the same is verified properly and validated against the expected behavior along with ascertaining that no other side effects are incurred by the fix, a Qa closure will be considered...
After the Dev closure, the concerned Qa Manager will also have to ensure that an appropriate RCA's detailed description is also provided by the Dev so that should such bugs recur sometime later one doesn't have to reinvent the wheel on either sides of the SDLC efforts...
Quite similarly, here God is akin to a smart Dev Manager who develops and provides a feature/component called "worldly stuff" for it's appropriate consumption by the Qa personnel, i.e., all the living beings / devotees....
When there is a terrible situational crisis reported by a smart Qa Manager via S1:P1 ticket like bhakta Prahlaada, the description and the detailed RCA for the same provided by an equally smart Dev manager would be so thorough that other 'similar bugs' have to 'shiver' looking at the RCA that rips off the issue from the core before the ticket gets closed with
"Qa Review Completed" / "Qa closure".
The core reason of our survival in this world is because God has embedded a fire element named " Jataraagni " in the intestinal cavity of all the living beings that rings the bells of hunger asking the body to input the available / consumable "BrahmaanDa vastu saamaagri " which in turn gets breakdown in to small units with the help of digestive enzymes and then gets bifurcated in to "Sath" and "Asath" for the body to digest / consume the former and expell the latter....
So intestinal cavity plays a key role in the "BrahmaanDa pinDaanDa samanwayam" without which existence isn't possible for that living being...
With the energy provided by the "BrahmaanDaPinDaanDa samanvaya vyavastha" embedded in our body via the " JaTaraagni " concept as a God's blessing
( " Aham Vaishvaanaro bhootwa praaNinaam deahamaaShtritaha...,
praaNaapaaNasamaayuktam pachaamyannam chaturvidham.... "
says Geetaachaarya....)
Prahlaada has been advocating the paramaatma tattwam by consuming the "Sath Chith Aananda" tattwam from the world, and it's magnanimity...
Where as HiraNyakaShipa has been insulting the paramaatma tattwam and it's very existence....
and the latter almost went to several extremes with the fire of vengeance accumulated in his stomach against SreeHari,
and his Son who has submitted himself to that all pervading SreeHaritattwam....
Hence Lord ShreeHari took the power of Rudraa's triNetra that supercedes any and every form of fire in the universe to don his UgraNaaraSimhaavataaram
( going by the worldly analogy, a Lion is known for it's heavy Jataraagni that makes it go wild and ruthlessly hunt down the target to satiate it's Jataraagni no matter whatsoever / whomsoever may be the target on the other side...)
and in-line to all the conditions kept by that stupid demon carried out the annihilation activity by subsuming that demon's JaTaraagni in to him after emanating from a Stambham..
which implies that he has showed this world how even a "JaDam" like a pillar can become an embodiment of Paramaatma's existence for his Aavirbhaavam from the same...
( The same is being preached by the ShreeLalitaaSahasra Naama stotram in the name "JaDaShaktirJaDaatmika" )
and how brutally can he subsume the root cause of a living being's existence the 'Jataraagni' when his all pervading existence is insulted by those who torture his devotees practising 'HariBhakti'
with the energy provided by him residing in us in the form of the Jatharaagni....
May Lord ShreeLakshmeeNaarasimha
annihilate the root cause of our sorrow,
and bless all the devotees with abundance of Health, Happiness, Peace and Prosperity....😊🍨🍕👍👏

Mantra Meaning:
I bow donw in front of the ferocious and brave form of Lord Narashimha, who is effulgent like fire, has his face everywhere, the most auspicious one and the death of death itself.
"Garjantam garjayantam nija-bhuja-patalam sphotayantam hatantamdipyantam tapayantam divi bhuvi ditijam kshepayantam kshipantamkrandantam roshayantam dishi dishi satatam samharantam bharantamvikshantam purnayantam kara-nikara-shatair divya-simham namami” 🙏😊
Mantra Meaning:
Lord Narashimha roars ferociously and also moves others to roar aloud. He has a large number of arms and tears down the demons to pieces while confronting them on the way. He moves about tormenting the demonic descendants of Diti. With his powerful hands he scatters them and throws hither and thither. He cries out in great anger and sustains, protects and nourishes the cosmic beings. I revere and pay obeisance to the Lord who has assumed the form of a transcendental lion.
