"O Keshava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari, who have assumed the form of half-man, half-lion! All glories to You! Just as one can easily crush a wasp between one's fingernails, so in the same way, the body of the wasp-like demon Hiranyakashipu has been ripped apart by the wonderful pointed nails on Your beautiful lotus hands."
Lord Narasimha appeared to save Prahlada Maharaja, who was five-year-old boy and was being tortured by his atheistic father, Hiranyakasipu. Who had taken benediction from Lord Brahma that he would not be killed by any man, animal, demigod, demon, any created being living or non-living nor in the sky or ground, inside or outside, daytime or nightime or any weapons. But the Lord is so cunning that He kept intact all the benediction given by Brahma and still killed him. He killed him in the evening, just at the junction of day and night, on His lap which was neither sky nor land, at the doorway which was neither inside nor outside. The Lord appeared neither man nor animal and he was killed by the nails, which is not a created weapon either living or dead.
Vrindavan Chandrodaya Mandir is organizing a Lakshmi Narasimha Havan to invoke His protection. Along with participating in the havan online you also have an opportunity to contribute to Mandir Nirman Seva, Gau Seva, and Sadhu Annadan Seva in our temple, bringing boundless blessings upon yourself and your family. You will also receive sumptuous and delicious prasadam from Vrindavan.
This is an iconic project destined to present India's glorious culture to the world. Vrindavan Chandrodaya Mandir, the tallest upcoming temple soaring to a height of 700 feet will include Shikhars, grand temple halls, annadan hall and Krishna Leela Theme Park.
Project has come a long way with the Phase 1 inauguration planned in November 2025. We invite you to participate in this once-in-a-life-time-opportunity by supporting the construction of the temple for Lord Krishna.
(Online links will be sent for you to join in the Sankalpa and watch the festival live from Vrindavan)
