Carved in brilliant illustration with an add-on of depth, Lord Vishnu's half-man and half-lion incarnation of Shri Narasimha is an adorable masterpiece.
Seated in a yoga posture, Shri Narasimha feels relaxed and happy as we can have a look on his smiling wide face (which is very rarely depicted).
Covered up with the divine and astonishing ornaments and garments, Dev holds his sacred ayudhas (Shankh and Chakra) in his upper two hands while placing his lower two hands on his leg joints.
He wears a Gold crown attached to an aureole crafted with wonderful patterns over it and posture on a lotus pedestal placed over a squared stand with various artistic carvings.
Embodiment of Divine Wrath and Protection
This exquisite brass statue depicts Lord Narasimha in his Yoga posture, a powerful and benevolent form of the divine that embodies protection, righteousness, and the ultimate victory of good over evil. Lord Narasimha, the man-lion incarnation of Lord Vishnu, is a revered deity in Hindu mythology, renowned for his fierce yet protective nature. The legend recounts how Hiranyakashipu, a demon king, had gained a boon of invincibility, leading him to believe he was beyond the reach of any god, man, or animal. In his arrogance, he persecuted his devout son Prahlada and challenged Vishnu. To uphold dharma and protect his devotee, Vishnu manifested in this awe-inspiring form, emerging from a pillar to slay the demon, thus proving that no mortal could defy the divine will.Symbolism and Artistic Craftsmanship
The Yoga Narasimha form specifically showcases the divine in a serene and meditative posture, highlighting his aspect as a remover of obstacles and a bestower of peace, even amidst his terrifying countenance. The four arms of the deity symbolize his omnipresence and omnipotence, each hand carrying a significant icon or engaged in a symbolic gesture. The intricate detailing on this brass statue, from the formidable facial features to the carefully crafted ornaments, speaks to the skill of the Indian artisans. Each element is imbued with meaning: the mace (gada) represents authority and strength, the discus (chakra) signifies cosmic order and the power to destroy evil, and the conch (shankha) symbolizes the primordial sound and the call to righteous action. The presence of a lotus in some depictions, or as seen here, the posture of deep meditation, emphasizes his ultimate spiritual power.A Touch of the Sacred for Your Space
Handmade in India, this statue is more than just an object of art; it is a vessel of spiritual significance. The lustrous brass material lends a timeless elegance and a divine aura to the piece, making it a focal point for prayer, meditation, or simply as a source of inspiration in your home or office. Its compact size makes it ideal for placing on an altar, a bookshelf, a desk, or any sacred corner where you seek solace, strength, and divine blessings. Inviting Lord Narasimha into your life is to welcome unwavering protection against adversity, the courage to face challenges, and the wisdom to discern truth from falsehood. This beautifully crafted statue serves as a tangible reminder of these profound spiritual principles.
Unleashing the Power of Narasimha: The Divine Avatar of Lord
Vishnu
Narasimha Dev is an incarnation of the Supreme Lord Vishnu or
Krishna. He assumed a special form of half-man (Nara) and
half-lion (Simha) to protect His five-year-old devotee Prahlad
from the ghastly attacks of his demoniac father Hiranyakashipu.
He killed the demon to prove that whoever is surrendered to His
lotus feet is always taken care of by Him. Lord Narasimha is
worshiped in many parts of South India and is considered an
important deity in the Vaishnava Sampradaya.
What does Narasimha symbolize?
Although the form of Lord Narasimha appears fierce to the
general people, it appears as beautiful and sweet as the lotus
flower to His devotees. His ferocious yet transcendental form
signifies His rage towards the demoniac persons who try to harm
or blaspheme His devotees who are very dear to Him. The devotees
always worship and remember Lord Narasimha in their minds
because He is the source of all bliss and fortune and is also
the cause of all causes. The Vaishnav Acharyas explain that the
Lord"s killing of Hiranyakashipu symbolizes the killing of
Anarthas such as lust, anger, greed, illusion, attachment, and
false ego residing in our hearts. One who has taken the shelter
of the lotus feet of Lord Narasimha is at once purified of all
contamination which is a barrier in Bhakti.
Which day is for Lord Narasimha?
Since Lord Narasimha is Vishnu Tattva, the Vaishnavas worship
Him and observe fasting from grains on Ekadashi which comes on
every 11th day in the Hindu or Vedic calendar. On this day, the
devotees either completely refrain from eating and drinking
anything (Nirjala) or only take grain-free Prasad for satisfying
their hunger. They chant the Lord"s holy names, visit temple,
and read His pastimes mentioned in the Vedic scriptures. Being
completely absorbed in the thoughts of the Lord, the devotees
peacefully observe the fast and remain blissful. Another very
important day dedicated to Lord Narasimha Dev is “Narasimha
Chaturdashi” which comes once a year. It is celebrated as the
appearance (His advent on this planet) day of the Lord. On this
day, the Vaishnavas congregate in the temples and chant His
unending glories and beg for His causeless mercy so that they
may eternally be engaged in His devotional service.
Where is Narasimha Swamy statue?
You can find many statues or deities of Lord Narasimha in
different states of India such as Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh,
Uttar Pradesh, etc. The most revered place for the Vaishnava
community is Ahobilam situated in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
This is the holy site where Lord Narasimha chose to appear from
a stone pillar indicating that He is present everywhere. The
Narasimha Swamy temple in Ahobilam is where all the nine forms
of Narasimha Dev are situated; Prahlad Varada Narasimha,
Chatravata Narasimha, Yogananda Narasimha, Ugra Narasimha, Kroda
Narasimha, Malola Narasimha, Jwala Narasimha, and Pavana
Narasimha. Thousands of people from across the globe visit this
temple to take the divine blessings of the Lord.
The Vedic scriptures such as Srimad Bhagavatam advise everyone
to worship and take the divine shelter of Lord Narasimha dev,
the Supreme Lord, in all circumstances, knowing that He is our
only hope. Those who do so experience the highest form of bliss
and never get bewildered even in adverse conditions of life.
