Very Dear Hanumat Presaka Swami Maharaja, Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Thank You for being so merciful, by giving instructions and teach me about Lord Nrsimhadeva. Never imagined such undeserved mercy. And I'm again insisting on serving you somehow, maybe with translations. I have read text 8 from NOI as you told me, very carefully. I understand as much I can what it says about Lord Sri Krsna, devotional service, chanting His Names as much as posible, surrender to Him and live in Vraja Dham. I've been told that Lord Nrsimhadeva is Krsna also, His special form to save Prahlad Maharaja and to specially protect Devotees, (if this somehow wrong, please teach me) but still I couldn't make a "direct" connection from the text to the matter "how can I know if I am a devotee of Krsna or another Krsna's form?". I'm humbly asking for your kind help about this. I'm sure one phrase or word from you will help me to understand. I don't ask nothing big. You are already helping me so much. ASA - In text 8 BSSTh gives the levels of purification. You can see it is a long distance for us to travel. Talk to local Btahmans about this also! You are very merciful by saying we can even in our position have affection for some form of the Lord. I'm just looking for Refuge, somehow I experienced things that made me have more faith in Sri Nrsimha's Protection from this world than Sri Krsna or other forms, even reading many times that Sri Krsna is the deposit of all forms and avataras. I should have no excuse to prefer Lord Nrsimha, but the fact is that I felt a special attraction for Him since I got to KCON. And in difficults moments, after praying so much to Krsna, when nothing seemed to get better, I ended up asking for help and praying much more to Lord Nrsimha. Only that way things got solved. Is not my intention to be negligent or offensive, but hard situations made me strenght my faith and attraction to Lord Nrsimhadeva. Nowadays I cannot stop my prayers even when the troubles I prayed for help are over: 1) Because I like Him particulary, His ferocity to Protect Prahlad, His mood, form, passtimes I heard, etc. 2) Because I am so fallen that I don't want troubles around me anymore, and always that I stopped prayers for Him daily, all bad things started to happen again. Even if it's an insignificant reason, it made me to have more and more faith on Him, and to wish becoming a Good Devotee of Him... Dign of Him. I sent and email to an argentinian Brahman whom I learned and trust a lot, on how to worship Lord Nrsimhadeva. I'm waiting for his response. ASA . Very good. I took from SCC the word for word meaning of first 2 paragraphs of Nrsimha Pranam, and the 3rd last one I searched on VedaBase its words meanings from other purports as well from an online nirukti dictionary. I'm chanting it everyday and meditating more on its meaning. It helped a lot and I feel to Glorify the Lord in a better way. Like getting to know the most interesting Person ever imagined! Little by little. Word by word. Thank you. Just two more questions. Sorry I have written a lot this time. No rush at all on responding: 1) In a SB class these days it was said that Prahlad Maharaja lives in the Patalas. I don't understand and don't know about this, isn't there a loka for Nrsimhadeva and Prahlad Maharaja? Why such a Pure Devotee does not live in such loka, even if is the Asura's king? I'm confused and don't know the sastra. Could you please explain more about this? ASA - Look in SB around 5.18.12. 2) Is there more sastra about Lord Nrsimha that I could read? ASA - Several chapters in seventh canto. Your insignificant student and aspirant to serve, Nadia Radha dd
