Narasimha Jayantī - Yogic & Vedic Heritage FESTIVALS OF BHARATA - E-book - ePub

Narasimha jayanti is a prominent parva that comes after akshaya t?tiya in the month of vaisakha. To fecilitate the devotees to have the experience of the glory of one of the important incarnations of Mahavish?u, the great sages of Sanatana Arya Bharata who were jnanavijnana t?ptatmas have marked this as a nodal day in the body (form) of the almighty in the form of time. It is a great day which is auspicious, holy and the day which reminds (us) of the all pervasivenss and unequalled jnana, bala, aisvarya, sakti, virya, tejas and the motherly affection and love of that God towards devotees.
It is a day in which the rituals are performed with great devotion in all the places in India where the Upasana of Vish?u and especially of Lord Narasimha is in vogue in the homes of devotees, who worship Lord Narasimha as either their family deity or a tutelary deity, and in ma?has, ashramas and in temples. It is the day when his upasana is taken up with austereness, both with the fear that any apacara (an offence) to God may chance, and with devotion combined with great and full confidence that he will receive the upacaras with great affection.
Some Saivas also worship Lord Narasimha on that day.
