[Paramananda das]

 

dandavat pranams

Please accept the blessings of my Gurudeva and Srila Prabhupada

There is a prayer in the Nrsimha Purana for freedom from worldly obligations and depths.Sadly some persons in India use this mantra for business and gives it to others telling them it will solve their financial crisis, this is foolishness, because no real devotee

wants to make Lord Narasimha  fix their bank balance, He naturally cares for His devotees.

The chanting however is very nicely done by a Sri Vaisnava but not related to these persons business schemes.

rina-mochana-samjnitam

anrini jayate  sadyo

dhanam  shighram avapnuyat

Whoever reads this regularly,  consciously desiring freedom from debts, immediately becomes freed from all  obligations and very soon attains opulence.

This prayer has to be understood in the mood of 

Srimad Bhāgavatam (11.5.41):

devarṣi-bhūtāpta-nṛṇāṁ pitṟṇāṁ

na kiṅkaro nāyam ṛṇī ca rājan

sarvātmanā yaḥ śaraṇaṁ śaraṇyaṁ

gato mukundaṁ parihṛtya kartam

"Anyone who has taken shelter of the lotus feet of Mukunda, the giver of liberation, giving up all kinds of obligation, and has taken to the path in all seriousness, owes neither duties nor obligations to the demigods, sages, general living entities, family members, humankind or forefathers." Such obligations are automatically fulfilled by performance of devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Srila Prabhupada has quoted this for example in Bhagavad Gita purport to 1.41

BG 1.41, Purport:

According to the rules and regulations of fruitive activities, there is a need to offer periodical food and water to the forefathers of the family. This offering is performed by worship of Viṣṇu, because eating the remnants of food offered to Viṣṇu can deliver one from all kinds of sinful actions. Sometimes the forefathers may be suffering from various types of sinful reactions, and sometimes some of them cannot even acquire a gross material body and are forced to remain in subtle bodies as ghosts. Thus, when remnants of prasādam food are offered to forefathers by descendants, the forefathers are released from ghostly or other kinds of miserable life. Such help rendered to forefathers is a family tradition, and those who are not in devotional life are required to perform such rituals. One who is engaged in the devotional life is not required to perform such actions. Simply by performing devotional service, one can deliver hundreds and thousands of forefathers from all kinds of misery. It is stated in the Bhāgavatam (11.5.41):

devarṣi-bhūtāpta-nṛṇāṁ pitṟṇāṁ

na kiṅkaro nāyam ṛṇī ca rājan

sarvātmanā yaḥ śaraṇaṁ śaraṇyaṁ

gato mukundaṁ parihṛtya kartam

"Anyone who has taken shelter of the lotus feet of Mukunda, the giver of liberation, giving up all kinds of obligation, and has taken to the path in all seriousness, owes neither duties nor obligations to the demigods, sages, general living entities, family members, humankind or forefathers." Such obligations are automatically fulfilled by performance of devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Also in Bhagavad Gita 2.38

BG 2.38, Purport:

He who acts for his own sense gratification, either in goodness or in passion, is subject to the reaction, good or bad. But he who has completely surrendered himself in the activities of Kṛṣṇa consciousness is no longer obliged to anyone, nor is he a debtor to anyone, as one is in the ordinary course of activities. It is said:

devarṣi-bhūtāpta-nṛṇāṁ pitṟṇāṁ

na kiṅkaro nāyam ṛṇī ca rājan

sarvātmanā yaḥ śaraṇaṁ śaraṇyaṁ

gato mukundaṁ parihṛtya kartam

"Anyone who has completely surrendered unto Kṛṣṇa, Mukunda, giving up all other duties, is no longer a debtor, nor is he obliged to anyone—not the demigods, nor the sages, nor the people in general, nor kinsmen, nor humanity, nor forefathers." (SB 11.5.41) That is the indirect hint given by Kṛṣṇa to Arjuna in this verse, and the matter will be more clearly explained in the following verses.

A devotees real duty is to chant Hare Krishna and surrender to Krishna:

Srila Isvara Puri the spiritual master of Lord Caitanya has stated:

yoga-shruty-upapatti-nirjana-vana-dhyanadhva-sambhavita-

svarajyam pratipadya nirbhayam ami mukta  bhavantu dvijah

asmakam tu  kadamba-kunja-kuhara-pronmilad-indivara-

shreni-shyamala-dhama-nama jushatam  janmastu lakshavadhi

yoga—of yoga;  shruti—and Vedic study; upapatti—attainment; nirjana—in a solitary; vana—forest;  dhyana—meditation; adhva—path; sambhavita—may be; svarajyam—kingdom;  pratipadya—entering; nirbhayam—fearless; ami—they; muktah—liberated;  bhavantu—may become; dvijah—the twice-born; asmakam—of us; tu—however;  kadamba—of kadamba trees; kunja—of a grove; kuhara—deep within;  pronmilat—blooming; indivara—of blue lotus flowers; shreni—of a series;  shyamala—a dark; dhama—splendor; nama—the name; jushatam—engaged; janma—birth;  astu—may be; laksha-avadhi—100,000.

Let the twice-born  enter the fearless kingdom of yoga, Vedic study, and solitary meditation in the  forest. Let them become liberated in that way. As for us, we will spend hundreds  of thousands of births chanting the holy name of Lord Krishna, whose splendid  dark complexion and yellow garments are like a host of blue lotus flowers  blooming in a grove of yellow-flower-bearing kadamba  trees.

—Shri Ishvara  Puri

This Rina Mochana Narasimha Stotram is really in the mood of being abel to become a renounced sannyasi, just like the prayers of Srila Prahlada Maharaja in SB 5. chapter 18 text 8 to 14 ,where a renounced devotee only keeps the lotusfeet of Lord Narasimha as His only treasure in this world.

[Paramananda das]

in any asrama one should be fully renounced just as if a sannyasi
