so 7, 9, 14 Om Narasimha Vibhaya Janasmaranti so the Lord is praying asking Narasimha Dev specifically to give up his anger please give up your anger you have now killed the demon and when a demoniac person who is envious is killed, everybody rejoices and he gives the example that even the sadhus are delighted when envious beings like the snakes and serpents are killed scorpions and snakes are killed so therefore by the killing of this envious demon that the satisfaction of the lokas the people in general has been achieved by you so because you have killed the demon therefore not only have the saintly people become happy right now but for all time to come in the future the saintly minded people will remember you to become free from all Rupam Narasimha Vibhaya Vibhaya means for the purpose of becoming free from Bhaya Janasmaranti people will remember so Lord Narasimha Dev is no different from his holy name and when we are filled with anxiety fear, worry, insecurity hypertension and all such mental, psychological problems so the remembrance of Lord Krishna is the supreme source of fearlessness for us so we are all terrorized by the Hiranyakashipu like desires for wanton and sinful enjoyment in our heart and it is only the grace of Lord Narasimha Dev that can kill the Hiranyakashipus within and although these demoniac desires may seem to be extremely powerful and nearly impossible to overcome but if we endeavor sincerely it is definitely possible for us by the grace of the Lord to overcome these desires actually just as Prahlad Maharaj’s qualification was that he remained patient and consistent in his practice of devotional service and Lord Narasimha Dev reciprocated in due course of time by killing Hiranyakashipu so similarly there are many demoniac desires in our heart and if we just stay patient and consistent in our chanting of the holy names in our remembrance of Krishna then in due course of time Krishna will slay the Hiranyakashipus within so rather than becoming overowed and discouraged and defeated by the intimidations of this demoniac Hiranyakashipu within we can also follow what Prahlad Maharaj has said all future generations of devotees will do Rupam Narasimham Vibhayaya Janaha Svaranti so by chanting Hare Krishna we can remember Krishna we can remember Lord Narasimha Dev and we can remember how they have rescued these forms of the Lord and similar forms of the Lord have rescued numerous devotees over numerous generations and they are waiting to do a similar rescue operation for us all that we need to do is show the Lord that we want to be rescued by repeatedly saying yes to the Lord and by rigidly saying no to the temptations, the allurements the threats that these temptations these Anarthas Hiranyakashipu like desires bring about in our heart and if we keep doing like this then over a period of time we will find that by the Lord’s grace we will all be able to overcome our conditionings and temptations and distractions and march straight back to the abode of Krishna
