Lakshmi Narasimha Sahasranamavali Audio

The Narasimha avataram of Lord Vishnu is the most powerful manifestation out of the ten avatarams and represents bursts of intense energy. Of the ten avatarams the Narasimha avataram has the shortest span in terms of time. This form had a specific targeted goal of destroying the asura Hiranyakashipu and confirming the great devotee Prahlada’s conviction that Vishnu WILL protect the devotee even against all odds. This statement of receiving protection “against all odds” was conveyed by a modern real life incident narrated by Sri Vijayalakshmi Ammal from Chennai, India, who is the mother of our family friend Suja who lives close by. A friend of Sri Vijayalaskshmi Ammal who was part of a group that recited Sri Narayaneeyam regularly was diagnosed with a form of deadly severe psoriasis; the disease had progressed to severe incurable levels and apparently the doctors had given her a maximum of three months to live. This lady got a dream one night of Lord Narasimha asking her to bring a comb which she does and Lord Narasimha combs her entire body and then disappears from the dream. The very next day her symptoms started disappearing and within a week she shows up at the recital group completely cured. That is the power of Lord Narasimha.

Adiyen (the humble servant here) was sitting one evening across from wife Srimathy and asking questions regarding the Narasimha temple at Naamakkal, Tamil Nadu, which she had visited with the children; in the conversation, she mentioned that she was NOT able to buy a photo of Him at the temple stores there and how much she wanted a photo. Just the very next day, there was a photo of Lord Narasimha, Sri Namagiri Thaayaar and Sri Hanuman ( all in the same frame ) that was received in the mail, sent by brother-in-law Kishore. It was so moving that we worship them in our Pooja room. That is the power of Lord Narasimha. Subsequently, the entire family has visited the Narasimha temple in Naamakkal. This is an ancient temple and one can “feel” the power of the Lord there.

Many of the great saints in India have been Narasimha upasakas. He represents high levels of intense powerful energy and can ward off all evils and dangers from affecting the devotee. During worship of Lord Narasimha one needs to maintain as much cleanliness (“madi”) and respect and devotion as possible. After the destruction of Hiranyakashipu, Lord Narasimha could be calmed down only by Goddess Pratyangira Devi. The Lakshmi Narasimha form is calmer than the form without Lakshmi. In either case, devotion to Lord Narasimha pretty much guarantees safety and well-being for the devotee and can help one cross difficult times with greater ease.

The Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Sahasranamavali in audio form is rare to be found and IS one POWERFUL, ENERGY LADEN stotram. As before,  in order to get the maximum physical effect and “feeling”, one is STRONGLY recommended to put on headphones and listen with the volume level fairly high – as opposed to hearing on low volume. One might note that in this recitation, the rhythm followed is 8 names/qualities on high followed by 8 names/qualities on low. The names and qualities will seem quite potent right from the start and simply stay on high energy throughout, describing His powerful teeth, nails, loud laughs, thousand heads, thousand tongues, fiery form, etc. If one forms a mental image of Lord Narasimha ready to tear apart and destroy the enemical forces while listening to this hymn, the power and protective capacity of Lord Narasimha CAN be felt – there is no doubt in this.

This is a long hymn. 23 MB
