Please accept my humble obaisences

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Srila Narayana Maharaja has given a very nice lecture about Sri Ramanujacarya:

I will tell a pastime about Sri Ramanujacarya that 99.9999 percent have never heard of.When Sri Ramanujacarya came to Visakapatnam and visited the  temple of Varaha Narasimha ,the pujari did not properly respect Sri Ramanujacarya this made Lord Narasimhadeva chastise that pujari, that because you are not properly respecting Sri Ramanuja

your prayers will be respected only by regular  persons but the brahmins will not pay much respect due to envy of you.This is mentioned in the Sthala Purana of Visakhapatnam.

We see also how in Israel the so called learned envied Jesus Christ, or the so called aristocratic Muslim king was envious of Srila Haridas Thakura.Sri Ramanujacarya was also being envied by his own Guru.That was a mayavadi.This is the nature of the material world it is a nasty place full of envious rascals up to no good.

Anyhow according to the Sthala Purana of Varaha Narasimha, the pujari told Lord Narasimha:, My lord you are cursing me.So I will curse you that your temple will be burned by melecchas, and that later took place.These are the amazing pastimes of Lord Varaha Narasimha and his pure devotees.After that temple was burned ,this worship was taking over by Sri Ramanujacarya and the Sri Vaisnavas that goes on to this day.We also see in the case of Nila Madhava how Visvasu tied up the priest of King Indraduymna so he could not tell Indradyumna Maharaja about the temple of Nila Madhava.Later when Indradyumna Maharaja came to take the Deity of Nila Madhava by force, the Lord disappeared and told Indraduymna that He would again appear as Lord Jagannatha and that Visvasu and his descendants only will be the ones to worship Lord Jagannath.

Later Indraduyma Maharaja became the elphant Gajendra and in Lord Caitanyas lilas appeared as Prataparudra Maharaja .How can anyone understand the pastimes of the Lord? Another amazing pastime of Ramanujacarya is that ,when he found some faults with the negligent worship of the kanistha pandas of Lord Jagannatha ,the Supreme Lord kicked Ramanujacarya to Kurma ksetra with His lotusfeet ,there at Kurma ksetra, Sripada Ramanujacarya installed the worship of the ancient Kurma deity.

Just see the amazing pastimes of Krsna...

One pastime of Prataparudra Maharaja comes to mind, when Srivasa Pandit( the incarnation of Narada Muni  ) was dancing at Ratha Yatra, one servant of King Prataparudra  poked Srivasa Thakura so he would not block Prataparudra from seeing Lord Caitanya. Srivasa Thakura being interrupted in his dancing in love of Lord Jagannatha turned around and slapped the servant of the king, Prataparudra Maharaja told the servant , do not take offence take it as your good fortune that Srivasa Thakura slapped you.

Such intense pastimes ..comes to mind on the appearance day of Srila Ramanujacarya.I pray he may bless my soul birth after birth that I can always render only pure devotional service to Srila Prabhupada, Lord Caitanya and Radha Krsna.

Whoever reads and understand these pastimes will be highly blessed.The conclusion is no matter what happens in life stay calm and chant Hare Krsna.
