hippy philosophy about Ahovalam

[Paramananda das]

Srila Prabhupada very clearly stated Ahovalam is the place where Lord Narasimha appeared however several   personalities have challenged this:

Jayadvaita Swami did so to Srila Prabhupadas face ,and Srila Prabhupada told him then just chant Ito Narasimha parato Narasimha and see Narasimha everywhere

Basu Ghosh das also does not accept Ahovalam,

Romapada Swami does not accept Ahovalam

WHAT KIND OF NONSENSE neophytes are they to challenge Lord Narasimhadeva? And the glories place of Ahovalam glorified in many places in the Puranas but obscure for the mental speculaters

Ahovalam are accept by all Authorities as the place where Lord Narasimha appeared and killed Hiranykasipu.By all Sri Vaisnava Acaryas, by Sri Ramanujacarya, by the Alvars, by Lord Caitanya but these persons think they know better and want to present their irreligion to the world.

Lord Ramachandra also visited Ahovalam in Treta yuga and chanted.

Lord Ramacandra’s  Nrisimha-Panchamrita

(These prayers are from the 47^th  chapter of the Harivamsa Purana which narrates the story of Lord  Ramacandra’s visit to the holy place of Ahobalam to see the Deity of Nrisimha,  where Lord Nrisimha appeared and saved His devotee Prahlada.)

ahobalam  narasimham gatva ramah pratapavan

namaskutya  sri nrisimham astaushit kamala patim

The glorious Rama once visited  Ahobala where He saw the Deity of Lord Nrisimha. He offered His obeisances to  Lord Kamalapati (husband of the Goddess of Fortune) and prayed as  follows.

1. Govinda  keshava janardana vasudeva

vishvesha-vishva  madhusudana vishvarupa

shri  padmanabha purushottama pushkaraksha

narayanachyuta  nrisimho namo namaste

O Govinda, Keshava, Janardana,  Vasudeva, Vishvesha (the controller of the universe), Vishva, Madhusudana,  Vishvarupa, Sri Padmanabha, Purushottama, Pushkaraksha, Narayana, Achyuta. O  Lord Narasimha I offer my respectful obeisances unto You again and again.

2. Devah  samastah khalu gopi mukhyaha

gandharva  vidyadhara kinnarash cha

yat  pada-mulam satatam namanti

tam  narasimham sharanam gato shmi

I have taken shelter of Lord  Nrisimha unto whose lotus feet demigods, prominent yogis, gandharvas,  vidyadharas and kinnaras are constantly offering their obeisances.

3. Vedan  samastan khalu shastragarbhan

vidyam balam  kirtimatim cha lakshmim

yasya  prasadat purusha labhante

tam  narasimham sharanam gato shmi

I have taken shelter of Lord  Nrisimha by whose mercy people receive all the Vedas, the essence of all  scriptures, knowledge, strength, reputation and wealth.

4. Brahma  shivas tvam purushottamash cha

narayano  ‘shau marutam patish cha

chandrarka  vayvagni marud-ganash cha

tvam eva tam  tvam shatatam nato’shmi

You are Lord Brahma, Lord Shiva  and the best person Lord Narayana. You are the master of the Marutas and You are  the sun, the moon, air and the fire as well as the Marut-ganas. I offer my  obeisances unto You.

5. Snapne’pi  nitya jagatam ashesam

srashta cha  hanta vibhura prabheyaha

trata tvam  eka strividho vibinnaha

tam tvam  nrisimham satatam nato’smi

I offer my obeisances unto Lord  Nrisimha who is the creator, the maintainer and the destroyer of the entire  universe. Although You perform all of these three acts simultaneously, You are  completely beyond these activities. You are the all-pervading, unlimited supreme  spirit.

Iti stutva  raghushreshthaha

pujayamasa  tam harim

pushpa  vrishtih papatashu

tasya devasya  murdhani

Praying this way, the best of the  Raghus, Lord Ramacandra worshipped Lord Hari. At that time the demigods showered  a rain of flowers on the head of Lord Nrisimhadeva.

Raghavena  kutam stotram

panchamrita  manuktamam

pathanti ye  dvijavaraha

tesham  svargastu shashvataha

This is the best of prayers,  called pancamrita or five nectars compiled by Lord Rama Himself. One who reads  this will be liberated eternally

I am tired of the hippy philosophy , get it right!
