The One Who Appears to Protect His Devotee

Introduction: In a form that was half lion and half man, the Lord protected his devotee Prahlada.

Story: The demon king Hiranyakashipu had a boon that he could not be killed by day or night, inside or outside, by man or beast. He tormented his devotee son Prahlada relentlessly. When he mockingly asked, “Is your God in this pillar?”, the Lord burst out of it as Narasimha. At twilight, on the threshold, placing him on his lap, he killed him with his claws.

Message: For a true devotee, the Lord crosses every limit.
