I offer my respectful obeisance unto Lord Nrisingha, the source of all power. O my Lord who possesses nails and teeth just like thunderbolts, kindly vanquish our demonlike desires for fruitive activity in this material world. Please appear in our hearts and drive away our ignorance so that by Your mercy we may become fearless in the struggle for existence in this material world.
The world today is full of uncertainties and fear. Every day, we hear about a lot of mishappening occurring around us. News related to loot, kidnapping, rape, and bullying is heard very frequently. We are living in an era where we can’t easily trust anyone in life. It is not common to see friends betraying or killing each other, family members plot against each other.
Even, the office place is like a hell only for the person who is getting manipulated there. Fear of the unknown looms around most people in this world today.
A couple was also in a similar situation and came to seek Gurudev’s blessings. The couple seemed to be in some grave danger which appeared to be life-threatening. Gurudev said, “When I am with you, why are you afraid?”
However, the fear had taken over the couple so much that they were somehow not getting convinced and returned to the same state of mind in which they had reached. After their departure, I asked Gurudev, “Guruji, I know that they have a strong faith in you, yet they didn’t look convince. What is their problem? Why are they so terrified?”
SadGurudev replied, “Both of them are in the grip of fear. Due to this reason, their mind and thought process is completely captured by this fear and they have lost all their faith.”
I was a bit moved by this statement. I further asked, “The world of Sadhanas has a solution to every problem. It can’t be that there is no Sadhana for this problem. Why didn’t you suggest some powerful ritual?” SadGurudev smiled and said, “Who needs Sadhanas when there is Gurudev to take upon himself all the pains of everyone.”
I could read the sarcasm in his voice, it appeared as if no one is interested in becoming capable. He was being critical of the attitude of Sadhaks who were slowly turning towards blind faith rather than relying on the power of Sadhanas. Their so called devotion towards SadGurudev reflected more of selfishness rather than faith. Sadhana too is a form of devotion towards the Guru although one does not get a chance in it to display one’s love for the Guru. However, faith in Sadhanas is a stronger way of expressing one’s love for the Guru.
When some Sadhak enters some Sadhana to obtain a solution for some problem, the person is helped by the Guru and because the person tries something by self, the person becomes very dear to the Guru. Such a person tries to become independent in solving one’s problems without becoming a burden on the Guru. And Guru too likes this, although he never shuns away from his duty of helping his children.
A person who is in the grip of fear is as good as dead. Weakness, hopelessness, and frustration make a person miserable. He might continue to breathe but he is dead within. At each moment in life, the person remains fearful about the occurrence of the fateful event whose fear clutches his mind. It is better if something bad occurs, for then the person starts to think about the future i.e. how to recover from the mishap. But one who fears some danger goes mad trying to find means of protecting himself. Each day his fear intensifies, and he develops a phobia. Still, phobia has limited meaning while fear covers a large sphere of negative feelings.
Fear means the apprehension of some struggle in the future. One can come out victorious in any struggle by taking on the enemy or problem with one’s entire force and destroying it or rendering it harmless before it could harm one. When the war cry has been raised then peace messages can’t work. Rather, one must accept the challenge with the spirit of do or die. One has to attack like a lion on the enemy or the situation. All heroic deeds in the world have been accomplished with this spirit.
The brave does not worry about how strong the enemy is, rather they attack the foe with full force and fight with the determination to win. A lion doesn’t plan its next kill. Rather as soon as it spots its prey, it attacks and brings it to the ground with its sharp teeth and claws. Men who display such courage and determination are called Narsinghs or lions in the form of men. One can defeat all adversities of life by facing them like lions.
The Narsingh incarnation of lord Vishnu signifies this very fact. Fear is an emotion that deludes one’s thinking. Then one can’t think clearly or laugh or cry properly. The person can’t live properly as there is a constant threat in life and thus such a person can’t make any sort of progress in life. Then there are situations when one is not even sure about who enemies are and who friends are. Worst is the case when there are hidden enemies as the fear increases manyfold.
The current era is of hidden enemies. Businessmen remain adamant about destroying the business of their rivals. Enemies try to trap in false cases, jealous relatives keep trying to dupe one of one’s property and money. One can read about such cases daily in the newspaper. And if one believes that one is safe then the person is living in a dream which is bound to get broken very soon.
Narsingh Sadhana is a fitting reply to all such attacks on society. The same Sadhana can work wonders not just for the individual but for the whole society. If tried by an individual, it could bring benefit only to the individual but if tried in a group, it can benefit the whole society. All our festivals are created to be celebrated together.
Festivals signify discarding an individual identity and becoming one with society. If Narsingh Sadhana is tried in a group, then its benefits multiply manyfold and thus help the whole society.
It is important for the Sadhak to have strong willpower and determination to perform this Sadhana. The best day to perform this Sadhana is Narsingh Jayanti however it can also be accomplished on any Tuesday or on 14th day of any fortnight of the lunar month. It must be tried after 10 pm.
Sadhana Procedure:
One needs Narsingh Yantra & Narsingh Rosary for this Sadhana. Take a bath and get into fresh red clothes and sit on a red mat facing west. Take a wooden plank and cover it with a red cloth. Take a picture of Gurudev and worship Him with vermillion, rice grains, flowers etc. Light a mustard oil lamp and an incense stick. Pray to Gurudev for success in the Sadhana and chant one round of Guru Mantra.
Next, take a copper plate and put it in front of Gurudev’s picture and place Narsingh Yantra over it. If you are troubled by any enemy, write the name with vermillion or lamp black on a piece of paper and place it below the Yantra. Worship the Yantra with red flowers, incense sticks etc. Next chant 1 round of the below mantra with the rosary. Mantra must be chanted aloud with full energy.
Mantra
|| Om Nrim Narsinghaaya Shartu Bhuj Bal Videernaaya Namah ||
One may feel overwhelmed with anger and excitement after the mantra chanting, which is a good indication that the Sadhana is heading in the right direction and results will be positive.
Tie all the Sadhana articles along with the paper containing the name of the enemy in the red cloth and drop this bundle in a river or pond. This completes the Sadhana procedure. You will soon start to feel how confident you have become after completing this Sadhana. You will start to handle fear and pressure far more efficiently in life.
It is mandatory to obtain Guru Diksha from Revered Gurudev before performing any Sadhana or taking any other Diksha.
