Dear Friends:
I hope you are well and keeping yourself busy during these challenging times.
1. Dr. Narendra Bhalodkar’s Presentation:
Dr. Narendra Bhalodkar made a presentation on Narsinh Avatar Jayanti through Zoom on Thursday, May 7 for the benefit of members of our Center and other organizations.
Mostly, we’re all aware of the story of Narsinh Avatar, wherein a demon Hiranyakashypu tries to kill his son Prahlad who is a staunch bhakta of Lord Vishnu. Since Hiranyakashyapu had a Vardan that he could not be killed during the day or night, inside or outside, by any weapon, and by man or animal, Lord Vishnu adapts into a mixed avatar that is neither man nor animal and kills the demon at the junction of day and night, inside and outside.
Narsinh Avatar like Vaman Avatar, Ram Avatar and Krishna Avatar, illustrates that Lord Vishnu uplifts and protects the bhaktas from evil.
Members (200) enjoyed Dr. Bhalodkar’s lucid presentation, which was very well researched, based on Shashtras. He had given presentations to Indo-American on several subjects in the past.
We are greatly thankful to Dr. Bhalodkar for his time and efforts.
