It has caused me much distress that some persons falsely claims Lord Narasima did not appear at Ahovalam it is simply their ignorance.See also http://www.vegetarian-restaurants.net/India-Guide/IndianStates/Andhra/Ahovalam.htm.

There is nine main forms of Lord Narasimha at Ahovalam

(1) Prahlada-varada Narasimha or Lakshmi Narasimha, (2) Chatravata Narasimha, (3)…

Gaura Kesava send some links that at least one Narasimha deity in South India is covered in butter, obviously this has to be

freshly churned butter.In Simhacalam near Visakhapatnam, the Varaha Narasimha Deity of Prahlada Maharaja is never covered by this "Butter Alankara"

nor is it a practice in Ahovalam.Wether it can be substituted by sandesh is another story. I was told by Amara das that the sandesh is not offered

on Narasimha Caturdasi but on another…

PAMHO AGTSP I saw a picture of Lord Narasimha smeared in Sandesh in Simhacalam Germany, though wonderful to see Lord Narasimha even in this" Sandesh-Narasima" form, there is no sastric reference that one can smear Lord Narasimha in bhoga this way,and if there is I kindly like to know the source of such references.This is not to challenge any of the wonderful and sincere devotees, but concern this is maybe not the most pleasing way to worship Lord Narasimha, He is the Sweet Supreme Lord already… Continue

I hate "Sakuni "

PAMO

AGTSP

There is noting as disgusting as demons, personally I hate them, and if they dress up as devotees

of the Lord it does not help.The demons and deva's have an internal fight in the heart of all jivas in the

age of Kali.Kali personified comes as Sakuni and Duryodhana.Duryodana is actually a devotee of Lord Balarama

but only want to use the power of his worship to conquer the world. Similarly there is persons that use their

"bhakti "…

My Dear Hayagriva,

Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated July 22, 1969, and I have noted the contents carefully. The money matters dealings are somewhat an embarrassment to me. I do not know what they have paid and what you have received. The best thing is as you suggested that the girls who are there may come back to Los Angeles. I have asked Tamala also to write…
