Sringeri May 14, 2022

On the occasion of Narasimha-Jayanti falling on वैशाख-शुक्ल-चतुर्दशी vaiśākha-śukla-caturdaśī, marking the Avatara of the Lord as Sri Narasimha, in accordance with the hoary tradition of the Peetham, special puja to Lord Lakshmi Narasimha was performed by the Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji.

During the course of the Puja which commenced at around noon, Phala-Panchamruta Abhisheka and a special आम्र-स्वरसः āmra-svarasaḥ Abhisheka was offered to Lord Sri Lakshmi Narasimha as a part of the षोडशोपचार-पूजा ṣoḍaśopacāra-pūjā accompanied by the sonorous chanting of Vedic Mantras by the Veda-Pandits assembled.

The Puja concluded at around 2 PM with the पारायण pārāyaṇa (recitation) of नृसिंहावतर-अध्याय nṛsiṃhāvatara-adhyāya from the Srimad Bhagavad Purana by the Jagadguru.
