Narasimha Prayers | Govinda Prabhu | Home Program | July 8th, 2026

namas te narasiḿhāya prahlādāhlāda-dāyine hiraṇyakaśipor vakṣaḥ- śilā-ṭańka-nakhālaye I offer my obeisances to Lord Narasimha, who gives joy to Prahlada Maharaja and whose nails are like chisels on the stone like chest of the demon Hiranyakasipu. ito nṛsiḿhaḥ parato nṛsiḿho yato yato yāmi tato nṛsiḿhaḥ bahir nṛsiḿho hṛdaye nṛsiḿho nṛsiḿham ādiḿ śaraṇaḿ prapadye Lord Nrsimha is here and also there. Wherever I go Lord Nrsimha is there. He is in the heart and is outside as well. I surrender to Lord Nrsimha, the origin of all things and the supreme refuge. tava kara-kamala-vare nakham adbhuta-śṛńgaḿ dalita-hiraṇyakaśipu-tanu-bhṛńgam keśava dhṛta-narahari-rūpa jaya jagadīśa hare O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari, who have assumed the form of half-man, half-lionl 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 Hiranyakasipu has been ripped apart by the wonderful pointed nails on Your beautiful lotus hands. hare krsna hare krsna krsna krsna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare The Hare Krsna mantra is known as the mahamantra (greatest of sound vibrations). The mahamantra is chanted requesting Hara (Lord Krsna’s supreme pleasure energy, personified by Srimati Radharani) and the Supreme Lord himself (Krsna - the all attractive one and Rama - the reservoir of pleasure) an opportunity to serve Them (kksongs) harer nama harer nama harer namaiva kevalam kalau nasty eva nasty eva nasty eva gatir anyatha In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy, the only means of deliverance is the chanting of the holy names of the Lord. There is no other way. There is no other way. There is no other way (Chaitanya Charitamrta Madhya 6.242) Although Kali-yuga is an ocean of faults, there is still one good quality about this age: Simply by chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra, one can become free from material bondage and be promoted to the transcendental kingdom (Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.51) #kirtan #radheshyam #mahamantra ISKCON Naperville
