Sri Narasimha Jayanti, a highly auspicious occasion, commemorates the divine appearance of Lord Narasimha, incarnation of Lord Krishna. This year, we celebrate this festival on Sunday, May 11, 2025, which falls on the Chaturdashi Tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the Vaishakha month.

Across the world, devotees eagerly observe this day to honour Lord Narasimha, seeking His blessings for protection, spiritual growth, and liberation from all fears and disturbances. Lord Narasimha's appearance is legendary, as He took the fierce form to protect His beloved devotee, Prahlada, and to vanquish the demon king Hiranyakashipu, who had become a menace to the entire universe.

At ISKCON Vaikuntha Hill in Vasanthapura, the celebrations begin early in the morning with a powerful and sacred Narasimha Homa (fire sacrifice) at 8 AM, conducted in front of the Sri Lakshmi Narasimha temple. The sacred flames of the Homa fills devotees' hearts with devotion as they participate in this auspicious ritual.

Following the Homa, at 11 AM, the mula vigraha of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha receives a grand abhishek. This grand ceremony is a moment of deep reverence as devotees watch the Lord being adorned with sacred offerings and prayers to His divine form.

After the abhisheka, a pravachan (spiritual discourse) is given, focusing on the glories of Lord Narasimha, His miraculous appearance, and His protection of the innocent and the righteous. The pravachan is an enlightening and thought-provoking session, where the story of Lord Narasimha’s divine intervention and the lessons from His pastimes are shared.

The morning celebrations conclude with an arati, a traditional ceremony where the Deities are offered lamps and prayers, and devotees sing the holy hymns of praise, immersing themselves in the Lord’s divine presence. This marks the culmination of the morning festivities, leaving the devotees spiritually uplifted and blessed by the Lord’s grace.

Sri Narasimha Jayanti is not only a day of celebration but also a day of reflection on the profound lessons imparted by Lord Narasimha’s incarnation. His appearance is a reminder of the Lord's infinite power to protect His devotees from any harm, no matter how insurmountable the obstacles may seem. Lord Narasimha's mercy knows no bounds, and He is always ready to defend His devotees from all spiritual and material dangers.

We invite all devotees to join us in this divine celebration at ISKCON Vaikuntha Hill and receive the merciful blessings of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha. The evening celebrations will also be a time for devotees to gather and participate in more devotional activities, concluding with an arati and the chanting of Sri Narasimha Ashtottara Shata Nama Stotra, chanting the sacred 108 names of the Lord.

Join us in celebrating this auspicious occasion and seek the protection, blessings, and grace of Lord Narasimha. Let us come together in devotion and surrender to the Lord on this blessed day.
