The devotees bow down, happy to see their Ugra Nrsimha again. In their hearts they know that He is not really as ugra as He looks.
(From an article published in Mayapur Journal, Summer 1994.)
“ I Want My Eyes Back! ” By Atmarati dasi
On a warm December morning last year, around 11:00 a.m., as I sought the association of the magnificent Lord and prayed to His dearmost devotee Prahlada, I found myself involved in one of His temple lilas (pastimes), much to my astonishment. After offering my obeisances to the captivating Prahlada, who stands next to his beloved Lord with his hands folded and his small body decorated with fresh flowers and beautiful ornaments, I prayed, “My dear Prahlada, you are expert in receiving all kinds of blessings from Lord Nrsimhadeva. You even received the blessings of forgiveness for you demoniac father, Hiranyakasipu. Please ask your Lord to bless this poor soul with the destruction of everything that stands in the way of her devotional service. Show me the way to real happiness.”
