Roar! Roar! Roar!




SD 7.10.10 "I offer respects to the Lord, full of six qualities, the purusa, the great soul, the killer of all miseries, the wonderful lion and man who is Brahman and Paramatma."

Nrsimha-tapani Upanisad ~ rtam satyam param brahma purusam nr-kesari-vigraham
The form of Nrsimha is the Supreme Brahman, the purusa, knowledge and truth.

Aisvarya Kadambini 1.5 "All glories to the most merciful Sri Govinda, the son of Nanda, who appeared from a pillar in the fierce form of Sri Nrsimha to remove the distress of His devotee Prahlada by killing His enemy Hiranyakasipu."


O Lion Lord,
please roar, roar, roar,
very loud,
show your angry eyes
and your ferocious mouth
and with your nails like chisels
cut through those impediments
of evil activities
residue of many lifetimes
inhabiting my mind
causing to the heart
miserliness and weakness
without the qualities
to become a worthy recipient
of the shower of mercy
poured by the saintly teachers.

O Lion Lord,
please roar, roar, roar,
very loud
show your sharp teeth
and  flaring nostrils
with your breath laden
with anger, please blow away
those seeds of aversion
which cause the unwanted
strong pillars of the ego
to boast, ridicule others
harboring the illusions
of superiority, prestige
and power.

O Lion Lord, please let your
deafening laughing roar
reach everywhere, inside and without,
please come, O Killer of miseries,
walk down the road
to the city of dualities,
to scare away the desires,   (1)
the impressions of the subtle body,
that impede me
to give happiness to others
to remove all that is vicious
and to see as You see
with equal vision.

O Lion Lord, please,
as gently as you only can
place your protecting paw
on my head
against the attacks of pretenders,
protect my spiritual and material
achievements
protect the steps of this errant
of karma,
so can walk steadily out
of the dreadful cycle.
