pujya-sri-guru-varga-vandita-mahabhavanvitayah sada "I bow my head in eternal obeisance to my Gurudev, the best of acharyas, Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj. He is the ever vigilant, stalwart guardian of the current of pure devotion whose highest form flows from our most worshippable Sri Rupanuga Guru-varga in their exclusive dedication to Mahabhav, Srimati Radharani."
prerakam prachya-paschatya-sisyanam bhakti-vartmani "I offer my respectful obeisances to Swami Bhakti Nirmal Acharya, who is energetically inspiring all of Eastern and Western disciples on the path of pure devotion."
ito nrsimha parato nrsimho "Nrsimha is here, Nrsimha is there—Nrsimha is wherever I go. Nrsimha is outside, Nrsimha is within my heart. I am surrendered unto that primeval Lord Nrsimha."
tava kara-kamala-vare nakham adbhuta-srngam O Hari! O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! You have assumed a half-man, half-lion form! All glory to You! You ripped apart the bee-like body of Hiranyakasipu with the amazingly sharp nails of Your beautiful lotus hands. |

"Eventually, the party continued on, loudly singing songs about Gauranga.
They rested in the village of Deva Palli as guests of the village Deity and
then ate at midday. In the evening, they toured the village, and then
Nityananda Prabhu said, 'This is Deva Palli. This Temple of Sri Nrsimhadev
was established in Satya-yuga. After blessing Prahlad and killing
Hiranyakasipu, the Lord rested here. Brahma and the other gods made their own
homes here and established a village, they resided on these hills beside the
bank of the Mandakini and worshipped Nrsimha. The scriptures state that this
abode in Nabadwip, known as Sri Nrsimha Ksetra, is very purifying. Surya's
hill and Brahma's hill were to the east of Nrsimha. Now this place has since
changed—see Ganesa's hill and Indra's hill behind, this place was filled with
many hills like these. The renowned Visvakarma constructed hundreds of stone
homes for the gods. In time, they decayed, and the Mandakini dried up, and
only the hills remain. See here the countless broken stones, these are the
ruins of the homes of the gods. Again in the future, a devotee-king will
receive a drop of mercy from Nrsimha. He will build a grand Temple, establish
Nrsimha there, and resume His worship. This place is within the thirty-two
miles of Nabadwip and is one of the boundaries of the route to circumambulate
Nabadwip Dham.'" (From Sri Nabadwip Dham Mahatmya by Srila
Bhaktivinod Thakur)
