Lord Nrsimhadeva - destroyer of material desires
Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krsna
Here is verse from Srimad Bhagavatam 5.18.8.
Om namo bhagavate narasimhaya namas tejas tejase avir avirbhava
vajra nakha vajra damstra karmasayan randhaya randhaya tamo grasa grasa
om svaha abhayam abhayam atmani bhuyistha om ksraum
Translation:
"I offer my respectful obeisances unto Lord Narasimhaadeva, the source of all power. O my Lord who possesses nails and teeth just like thunderbolts, kindly vanquish our demonlike desires for fruitive activity in this material world. Please appear in our hearts and drive away our ignorance so that by Your mercy we may become fearless in the struggle for existence in this material world."
Srilla Prabhupada explains in Purport: "Any devotee aspiring to be free of material desires should offer his respectful prayers to Narasimhadeva as Prahlada Maharaja did in this verse."
So let us pray to Lord Nrsimhadeva to free our hearth from material desires so that we may eternaly be engaged in chanting Nityananda Gauranga and Hare Krsna!
