Wishing you all a very happy Nrsimha Chaturdasi!
Śubha Nṛsiṁha Chaturdaśī!
On this most sacred night, when the Lord emerged not in anger but in divine urgency — to protect, to uphold dharma, and to embrace the heart of a child — we offer you these gentle blessings from the feet of Śrī Lakṣmī-Nṛsiṁha.
Let your soul be stirred by His mercy:
Bhaktapriyaṁ karuṇāsindhuṁ nṛsiṁhaṁ madhuraṁ bhaje
“I adore the sweet Lord Nṛsiṁha—ocean of compassion and beloved of His devotees.”
May He not only shatter your fears,
but gently reside within your heart like a lion guarding a lotus.
Paśyanti sarve hṛdayena bhaktyā, śrī-lakṣmī-nṛsiṁhaṁ śaraṇaṁ prapadye
“All pure souls behold Him with love in the heart—I too take refuge in that Lord.”
May your life be blessed with the unwavering faith of Prahlāda,
whose love softened even the Lord’s fiercest form into infinite sweetness.
Premṇā namat satāṁ hṛdyaṁ, bhaktānāṁ svayam apriyaḥ
“He, who is the most intimate beloved of the devotees, dwells in their hearts through love alone.”
Today, may His lotus hands uplift you.
May His lion-hearted compassion protect you.
And may His divine paradox—ferocious yet tender—awaken your inner truth.
Jaya Jaya Śrī Nṛsiṁha Deva!
Jaya Prahlāda Mahārāja!
With folded hands and a heart full of prayer, we wish you a day of deep remembrance, peace, and divine shelter.
Yours in service to Srila Prabhupada,
VCF Team
Blessings from Sri Sri Krishna Balarama
