I began to sing my prayers to lord Nrsimha and as I was singing I thought I felt a presence of so kind of spiritual power in the room. I continued my prayers. When my prayer was complete, I bowed down fully in surrender. As I was giving my last prayer (while still in full surrender) I thought I heard a Lion roar somewhere in the background.
It was a warm sunny afternoon on a tuesday. I usually do my prayers around 4:30 p.m, normal worship time, but that day I had to go somewhere, so I did my prayers around 1:30 p.m. I first did my Radha Madhava prayers, Followed by a munghal aarti of Lord Krishna. Now comes the miracle. I began to sing my prayers to lord Nrsimha and as I was singing I thought I felt a presence of so kind of spiritual power in the room. I continued my prayers. When my prayer was complete, I bowed down fully in surrender. As I was giving my last prayer (while still in full surrender) I thought I heard a Lion roar somewhere in the background. I looked up after my prayer to admire the spiritual rupa of Lord Nrsimha and I saw real blood driping from the body of Hirenyakashipu, For a second I was scared, naturally you would be scared if something unexpected happened. But after a while I felt this esctatic joy within me, I felt so happy, even today I feel happy. Can anyone give me a reason why this miracle happened to me and not to the other thousands of devotees?
But had you actually saw Lord Nrsimha Face to face?
Oki so you saw a lion??????? in what religion ae you???? and wha does the body that’s dripping blood mean??? is it good??? or is it Bad??? I am not trying be mean but i don’t think that you were wathcing God. I am christian… but yaeh everybody has their rigth to follow any religion they migth want to.
i totally understand your skepticism Karen. the ‘lion’ is one of the avatar of the hindu’s supreme Lord, Vishnu.
(you can briefly read about it here : — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narasimha — the “Narasimha and Prahlada” part, to get in the picture of what im talking abt ) and also to understand y he comes in that form.
just like in chritianity, the bible mentions about the white knight, in hinduism also, he is mentioned. and for us, he is the 10th and last avatar of Vishnu. narsimha is the 4th.
answers to your question; no he didnt see a lion, but the picture representing one of our avatars, Narsimha, kiling an evil king, as it has been described in our sacred books.(as u may know, we hindus use statues and pictures portraying our deities)
the blood means nothing, my opinion is, it was just a way for Vishnu to reassure the devotee that he is here and always protecting him from evil, just the way he eliminated the proud and evil king) why Vishnu chose this particular picture, probably because the devotee is more inclined to pray Vishnu in this particular form.
if its good or bad.. umm… like the tears of mary virgin. neither good nor bad i guess.. probably just showing a presence or giving a message.
im sorry for being so long, but 1 last thing is, i dnt force myself or anyone else, to believe such things really happened or what, but its just the faith and the moral of what is behind those myths which is important to me =)
yeah we all follow any religion in which we have faith. as a hindu, i tried to clarify a little bit, but hinduism being the oldest relion, and me being only 22yrs, lol, its not easy. i guess if we both came across this comment, it was due to our curiosity
hope yours has somehow, been satisfied.
A Miracle.
The Lords wanted you know that He was there for you.
Once my ex-boyfriend wanted sex with me. I was in his house. He stood by the door of my room and asked me to go to his room. I didn’t want sex with him, I than asked him why he didn’t come inside my room instead.
He said that next to me was a very tall man with lion head and he was scared of Him…
Amazing is that this guy knew nothing about philosophy, Lord Nrinsinhadeva.
