Pastimes of Lord Nrsimhadeva Outside Mayapur Child Hit by Truck Now allow me to tell a true story that happened some 10 years ago in South Africa. The father and the daughter who experienced this event told this story to my friend, a sannyasi and devotee of Lord Nrsimhadeva. This story was also found in the newspapers, and several witnesses of this truck accident became devotees of Lord Nrsimhadeva after this incident. This happened to a simple Vaishnava family that lives there. They had a 5-year-old daughter. This girl was a great “fan of Nrsimhadeva .” She found Him simply funny, as He looked like a half-lion, half-man, and she felt very attracted to Him. She often told her playmates about her favorite God — a lion — and the kids always wondered about what kind of God this could be. What can a five-year-old girl know about God? She wasn’t initiated ; not even her parents, as far as I can remember. The father of the family followed a guru and surely later accepted initiation. But there was a small Hindu community they were in close touch with. So, one day the girl was playing outside with her ball together with other kids beside the street. The ball fell on the street, and the girl ran after her precious ball.
