Narasimha Ji Ki Katha

Narsingh Bhagwan ki katha ke anusar prachin samay me Hiranyakashyap naam ka ek bahut shaktishali asur raja tha. Usne kathor tapasya karke Brahma ji se aisa vardaan pa liya tha ki use na koi manushya maar sake, na koi pashu, na din me mare, na raat me, na dharti par aur na aasman me. Is vardaan ke baad usme bahut ahankar aa gaya aur usne khud ko Bhagwan ghoshit kar diya. Usne sabko hukum diya ki sirf uski hi pooja ki jaye. Lekin uska putra Prahlad Bhagwan Vishnu ka bahut bada bhakt tha. Wo har samay Narayan ka naam japta tha. Hiranyakashyap ne use bahut samjhaya aur daraya lekin Prahlad ne Bhagwan Vishnu ki bhakti nahi chhodi. Gusse me aakar Hiranyakashyap ne Prahlad ko maarne ke kai prayas kiye. Kabhi pahad se girwaya, kabhi zeher diya, kabhi aag me jalane ki koshish ki, lekin har baar Bhagwan Vishnu ne apne bhakt ki raksha ki. Ek din Hiranyakashyap ne gusse me Prahlad se pucha tera Bhagwan kahan hai. Prahlad ne kaha Bhagwan har jagah hain. Tab Hiranyakashyap ne khambe ki taraf ishara karke pucha kya isme bhi tera Bhagwan hai. Prahlad ne kaha haan. Jaise hi Hiranyakashyap ne khambe par gada maari, usi samay Bhagwan Vishnu Narsingh avtar me khambe se prakat ho gaye. Unka roop aadha manushya aur aadha sher ka tha. Bhagwan Narsingh ne sandhya samay, jo na din tha na raat, mahal ki dehleez par, jo na dharti thi na aasman, Hiranyakashyap ko apni godi me rakhkar apne nakhuno se uska vadh kar diya. Is prakar Bhagwan ne apne bhakt Prahlad ki raksha ki aur adharm ka ant kiya. Tab se Narsingh Jayanti manayi jati hai. Ye katha hume sikhati hai ki sachchi bhakti aur vishwas rakhne wale ki Bhagwan hamesha raksha karte hain।
