Lord Narasimhaa Fest

Today is a very  auspicious day to Hindus in general and Vaishnavites in particular. This is the day on which Shree Mahaa Vishnu took Avathaar as Lord Narasimhaa to kill the demon king Hiranyakashipu and bless Prahalaadha (the king's son and His greatest devotee), billions of years back. Many years later, Shree Mahaa Vishnu took Avathaar as Vaamana to bless King Mahaa Bali  (grandson of Prahalaadha). It is believed that in the present Kali Yugaa,  the divine sage Raaghavendra Swamy was born as an incarnation of Prahalaadha.
