Lets welcome the presence of Lord Lakshmi Narashimhar , one of my mothers favourite God to Dattatreya Lotus
Lord Narasimha is an avatara of Vishnu and worshipped as the “Great Protector” mostly in south india.I have personally experienced the grace of Lord Lakskhmi Narashimhar .
Lighting Ghee lamp to Lakshmi Narashimhar :
In 2003,i used to go to a temple called shiva vishnu temple where theres a statue of Lakshmi Narashimhar in the wall of the temple. I used to light one ghee lamp and offer yellow flower to the lord everyday and pray.
Habit of feeding few outside temple and little ants :
Once a old women told me that its good to do “anna dhaan ” feed 1000 devotees in the temple ..if not feed atleast the ants.From that day its my habit to fill empty bottle with sugar and everyday make 3 little packets of Sugar and drop it in corner of any road, near bushes , trees etc.I also continued to offer food to few poor people sitting outside any temple.
Thus i was lighting lamps to Lakshmi Narashimhar with a yellow flower everyday and the events that happened in my family really assured me the power of God Lakhmi Narashimhar.
Ahobila Narashimha temple :
I got the below photograph of Lord Lakshmi Narashimha courtesy of wikipedia taken inside a cave in a holy pilgrime spot called Ahobila .Ahobilam is situated in nandyal , kurnal district of andha pradesh state, India.Its also known as “Singavel Kundran” where Narashihar gives darshan in 9 different forms which is why its known as “Nava Narasimha Kshetram”. I have heared about few more lakshmi Narashimhar temples in tamilnadu especially the one near chengulput.
The God who is present when holy mantra is chanted with pure thoughts :
The most important reason i started to write about “Lakshmi Narashimhar” in our Dattatreya Lotus is that my mother and father has taught me a mantra to share with all good souls who are suffering from debts, financial problems, health issues, problems in marital life and all other issues. My Amma believes that who ever recites this mantra 108 times , surely Lakshmi Narashimhar will be present with them immediately. He is a God who will not delay a moment when the devotee calls with pure heart.
Please chant this mantra regularly after bath or any time you feel pure and when you are facing some sufferings. The most important request for any Lakshmi Narashimhar devotee is that try to be Vegetarian for life time. please read the below mantra regularly.
Any moment you need the presence of Lakshmi Narashimhar please chant Narashimha mantra with pure mind for 108 times
please Chant this mantra 108 times
( the mantra has its full powers if you are a vegetarian )
