Devotees at Sri Narasingha Caitanya Matha along with congregation members from Mysore, Mandya and Bangalore celebrated the appearance of Lord Narasimha on Sunday 22nd May.
In the morning Srila Narasingha Maharaja spoke from the Fifth Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam on the prayers offered to Lord Narasimha by the residents of Jambudvipa.
Later on, the dry sandalwood that had covered Yoga-Narasimha during Candana-yatra was removed. Then Srila Narasingha Maharaja bathed the Deity of Vira-Narasimha and the salagramas with pancamrta followed by candanodaka (water mixed with sandalwood, camphor and saffron). Next, the Deity of Yoga-Narasimha was bathed in different colored milk, scented water and flower-water. After the bathing ceremony, Yoga-Narasimha was decorated with flowers and Sripada Visnu Maharaja offered arati as Srila Narasingha Maharaja led kirtana.
All devotees honored the prasadam of the Lord and were given maha-prasada candana from the transcendental body of Yoga-Narasimha.
