Atlanta Temple Darshan Schedule (Viewing Deities) 

           Appearance Day of Lord Nrisimhadeva

                       Tuesday, May 25, 2021

The Supreme Person appears in many forms and at many times. Perhaps His most misunderstood avatar of all is the half-man, half lion Nrsimhadeva (nri-SING-ha-deva). Nrsimhadeva appeared in the distant past to save His devotee, the boy-saint Prahlad (pra-LAHD), from torture and death at the hands of the despotic king Hiranyakashipu (hi-rahn-ya-KAH-shi-pu), who was also Prabhlad's father.

Hiranyakashipu had performed extreme austerities to gain the benediction that he would be protected from death in almost unlimited ways. Because he was so wicked, however, especially in his treatment of the Lord's devotees, Krishna personally came and killed Hiranyakashipu in a way no one could have imagined.

Hare Krsna!
Dandavats!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Srimati Sita Devi, a manifestation of the goddess of fortune, Lakshmi Devi, is the eternal consort of Lord Ramachandra. When Lord Ramachandra was banished to the Dandakaranya forest, Sita Devi left the comforts of the royal palace to join Him. While in the forest she was kidnapped by the demonic king Ravana, yet despite his endeavors to enjoy her beauty, she remained always dedicated to Lord Ramachandra.

Sita devi, the wife of Lord Rama, was not born in the normal way, but of the Earth Goddess, Bhumi devi herself. In Maharishi Valmiki’s own words, Ramayana is known as the noble story of Sita — “Sita-Ayah Caritam Mahat”.

Janaka Maharaj, the king of Mithila, was ploughing a piece of land to prepare it for conducting a yajna. While ploughing, he unearthed a golden casket in which he found a beautiful girl, which caused him to be greatly overjoyed. Because land ploughed by the yoke is called ‘sita’, he named the baby, Sita.

Sita devi was to be given in marriage to anyone who could bend the powerful bow given to Janaka by Lord Siva. Lord Rama succeeded in bending that great bow and he married Sita. Their later, inconceivable pastimes are presented throughout Sri Ramayana.
