  SRI NARASIMHA AVATHARA (Chintana-Vyakhyana-Visleshana-Anusandhana) https://archive.org/details/sri-narasimha-avathara-chintana-vyakhyana-anusandhana Out of several avatharas of Lord Vishnu, ten important incarnations are classified as Dasaavatharas. Among them Nrusimhaavathara has attained a rare significance. All His avatharas are generally of a single form. But, Nrusimhaavathara was of a dual form (Nara + Simha) neither a man nor a lion. Nara means man and Lion is an animal. Narasimha means, combined form of a Lion and a Man. This was 4th one among the Dasaavatharas and it was a Krutha Yuga Avathara purported to have been taken place in Chakshusa Manvanthara. According to Bhagavatha Purana (1.3.18) चतुर्दशं   नारसिंहं   बिभ्रद्दैत्येन्द्रमूर्जितम्   । ददार   करजैरूरावेरकां   कटकृद्यथा   ॥ caturdaśa ṁ  n ā rasi ṁ ha ṁ  bibhrad daityendram ūrjitam dadāra karajair ūrāv erakā ṁ  ka ṭ a-k ṛ d yathā [In the fourteenth incarnation, Bhagawa...

  VEDAVYASA (The Architect of Sri Vishnu Sahasranama) Maharishi Sri VedaVyasa gifted these thousand names to humanity in the form of a sacred hymn (stotra). His significance is captured in this verse: शास्त्रेषु भारतं सारं तत्र नाम सहस्रकम् । वैष्णवं कृष्णगीता च तज्ज्ञानान्मुच्यते जसा ॥ “Shastreshu Bharatam saram, tatra nama sahasrakam; Vaishnavam Krishna-Gita cha, taj-jnanan-muchyate jasa.” Meaning: Among all scriptures, the Mahabharata is the essence. Within the Mahabharata, the Vishnu Sahasranama and the Bhagavad Gita are the crown jewels. Mastery of these two pathwaus leads to liberation (mukti) from the cycle of birth and death. The Sage of the Hymn: In the standard liturgical introduction (Nyasa) to the hymn, Vyasa is identified as the guiding soul behind the work: ऋषिर्नाम्नां सहस्रस्य वेदव्यासो महामुनिः । छन्दोऽनुष्टुप् तथा देवो भगवान् देवकीसुतः ॥ “Rishhirnaamnaam sahasrasya Vedavyaso mahamunih; Chando-nustup tatha devo Bhagavan Devaki-sutah.” Meaning: The Rishi (seer) of...

In fact, this event of divine marriage forms the basis for the Supreme God Vishnu to manifest at Tirumala hills in this Kaliyuga. For making this event happen Lord Vishnu came down to the earth from his abode Vaikunta after having a wrangle (Leela of the Lord) with his consort Goddess Maha Lakshmi. He took the form of Srinivasa and settled down at Aananda Nilaya on the top of Tirumala Hills called Venkataadri also known as Venkataachala after getting married with Goddess Padmavathi Devi. There is a tradition especially in Madhwa sampradaya to perform paaraayana of Sri Srinivasa Kalyana (Sri Venkatesha Kalyana) on two occasions viz.
