Translations of Chinese and Russian versions of Mayapur Lord Nrsimhadeva’s pastimes have appeared online. The Chinese translation is by Her Grace Jahnava devi dasi, a disciple His Holiness Tamal Krishna Goswami. She prepared two versions. One has Simplified Chinese characters for mainland China. The other has Traditional Characters for Hong Kong and Taiwan. It is hoped that devotees who read in these languages will take up the greater task of getting the attention of potential readers by posting articles from the site on Chinese websites, blogs and such.
The Russian version is by Her Grace Indulekha devi dasi, a disciple of His Grace Rohini Suta Prabhu. She will be adding more pages over the next two weeks. We hope Russian devotees will promote this site through Russian internet venues as well. Potentially millions of readers can now access Lord Nrsimhadeva’s pastimes and mercy.
We are hoping to post new language versions as soon as possible.
NRSIMHADEVA IN YOUR PHONE
An interesting feature for all language versions of narasimhalila. com is the mobile phone picture and mantra DOWNLOAD page. In a lecture given in Mayapur around Gaura Purnima time by His Grace Badrinarayan Prabhu, the great importance of having Lord Nrsimhadeva in your mobile phone was pointed out:
TERROR ATTACK
Radhanath Maharaja told me a very blissful story the other day and he said I could use it. So here goes! There was that Taj Hotel where the terrorists attacked. They were fighting in there for three days, complete carnage. The terrorists had arranged in such a way that they would always be up higher. They would shoot from a lower vantage point down. Radhanath Maharaja told me this. They had all these grenades and they would throw the grenades and the grenades would create so much smoke that if you were down looking up you couldn’t see anything.
Picture that you are one of these soldiers or police officers and you are in this cloud of smoke and up above you there is this hail of bullets from the terrorists shooting at you. One of those soldiers was one of our devotees. At one point, they were trying to chase these people through the hotel. They are trapped. The terrorist were throwing all these grenades, they are in a complete cloud of smoke. They cannot see one foot in front of their face. They can’t see left, right or anything and this hail of bullets is being fired at them. Just a wall of bullets coming at them.
This devotee police officer, with two other police officers on either side, he is in the middle, he actually was completely helpless. He couldn’t see left, right, he couldn’t see his colleagues. He remembered that he had on his ring tone on his phone Nrsimhadeva prayers. He began playing the Nrsimhadeva prayers and praying intently to Lord
Nrsimhadeva, “Please I am absolutely helpless. I am going to die. Save me, in an absolutely hopeless state.”
When the shooting stopped, the smoke cleared, his friend to the right and his friend to the left were completely killed, riddled with bullets, and he was unscathed. In front of him, which he couldn’t see at the time, was a giant pillar. And because they were shooting at him the pillar protected him. He thought, “Just as Lord Nrsimhadev came out of the pillar to save Prahlada He put a pillar here to save me!” So my point is, simple point, is if we have that faith, “Oh, how will I be taken care of?” Krishna will take care of you, Don’t worry. Let me give my life to the sankirtana movement. Date: February 19, 2009
