The Narasimha avatar of Vishnu is one of the most popular and important avatars of Vishnu. It is believed to have occurred at the end of the Treta Yuga. The story of Narasimha as told in Hindu mythology is as follows:

The demon king Hiranyakashipu had been granted a boon by Lord Brahma that nothing on earth, neither man nor animal could kill him. Knowing of his invincibility, Hiranyakashipu grew increasingly powerful, prideful and arrogant. As his tyranny worsened, the people of the world started to suffer from his rule.

In response to Hiranyakashipu’s wickedness, Lord Vishnu took the form of Narasimha (half-man, half-lion) in order to save his devotee Prahlada and the people of the world. Vishnu took the form at dusk, knowing that neither Hiranyakashipu nor anyone else would be able to recognize him. Vishnu appeared with terrifying arms, four faces, and power greater than anyone had ever seen before.

When Hiranyakashipu challenged Vishnu to a fight, Vishnu grabbed the demon king and placed him on his lap. Since Hiranyakashipu had been granted that nothing on earth would kill him, and Vishnu was neither man nor animal, the Avatar was able to tear apart the demon king with his fingernails.

This incident marked the end of Hiranyakashipu’s tyranny and the beginning of peace in the world. Vishnu’s act of protecting Prahlada and destroying Hiranyakashipu, demonstrated the power of devotion and taught the world that evil forces will never win in the face of absolute faith and love.

Since then, Lord Vishnu in the form of Narasimha has become one of the most venerated and popular deities in Hinduism. His image can be found in various temples and other places of worship all over the world. Narasimha is also worshipped during festivals and special occasions, usually in the form of prayers and Thirumanjanams (fire sacrifices).

Once upon a time in a magical world, the divine Shiva and his consort Parvati roamed together. This divine couple was in perfect harmony, and all of creation stood witness to their love.

The story of Shiva and Parvati soon spread throughout the universe and it seemed as if the entire world was under their influence. Couples from all corners of the universe wanted to receive blessings from the divine couple.

One such story unfolded in the foothills of the Himalayas, where Shiva and Parvati had taken form as a god and goddess. As the sun set, anticipating their tryst, the two deities danced in the light of the moon.

The stars sparkled and the night seemed alive with energy that was felt everywhere. They were immersed in their love and lost in the sublime melody of creation.

As they danced, Shiva shared his spiritual knowledge with Parvati. Through this sacred knowledge, highly difficult concepts of the Upanishads were clarified by Shiva so that even the most distant star dancing at the edge of the night sky could understand the divine secrets of truth.

With the clarity of knowledge and the language of love, Shiva and Parvati continued to share their love with each other.

With their trances soaring, their amorous tale was revealed like a script from heaven.

The couple embraced each other with passion as the sky lit up in sky blues, pinks and orchids.

The gods of the sky watched in awe and admiration as the divine pair embraced, knowing that this was a union that would forever remain monogamous to one another.

In time, Shiva and Parvati’s love story was remembered and hailed in the annals of the Upanishads and their union was celebrated by the people of the world who forever stand witness to the divine beauty and eternal resonance of the spiritual love story of Shiva and Parvati.
