Sri
Sudarsana/Yoga Narasimha
In order to relieve the suffering of people in this world, the
devotees prayed to Bramha to create a powerful Shakti. So Bramha
took up a serious penance for thousands of years resulting in the
creation of, one of the Sri Vishnu's Ayudhapurushas, the extremely
powerful Sri Sudarshana. Sri Sudarshana represents the cosmic mind and also Vishnu's infinite
power to create and destroy the universe. He also represents Sri Vishnu's
will to multiply. He also will neutralize all poisons. There are more than one
hundred and eight names to Sri Sudarshana. Among them are Sudarshana, Chakraraja
and Sahasrabahu. Prayers to Sri Sudarshana will alleviate serious diseases, avert great dangers and prevent obstacles
in any one's efforts to succeed.
Narasimha Avatara is the fifth re-incarnation of
Lord Vishnu. As Narashimha, He destroyed the demon
king Hiranyakashiyapu, the father of Baktha Prahalad.
Sudarshana and Narasimha are one and the same as two faces of a coin.
Both deities benefit the entire human kind by their blessings.
