Join Paramahamsa Vishwananda for sacred celebrations honoring Lord Narasimha — the Divine Protector

"When we look at Paranitya Narasimha, what do we see? Bhagavan in His fierce form. That’s what attracts our eyes, that’s what we see first. His majesty, His strength, His power…Bhagavan took that aspect for one reason: to protect His bhakta."

Paramahamsa Vishwananda 

An Unforgettable Narasimha Chaturdashi Celebration

Feel the Divine Protection of Lord Narasimha

Lord Narasimha is our divine protector — the one who uproots fear, destroys negativity, and shields His sincere devotees from harm. On Narasimha Chaturdashi, we honor the Lord who stands with the faithful when life’s forces seem overwhelming — reminding us that courage, righteousness, and devotion always triumph.

Our temple invites you and your family to experience this sacred festival with beautiful rituals, uplifting bhajans, and shared spiritual joy.

Along with the boundless blessings of Lord Narasimhadev, world-renowned Satguru Paramahamsa Vishwananda will preside over the celebration, lovingly showering His blessings upon all.

24-Hour Yajna

To ready ourselves to receive the Lord's blessings, we will perform a 24-hour continuous Narasimha Yajna — an unbroken prayer offered for protection, righteousness, and the well-being of all.

Like Prahlad’s devotion, this offering does not pause, bargain, or doubt. It is steady. It is sincere. It is complete.

  • Come sit in the presence of the sacred fire
  • Offer your prayers and intentions
  • Absorb the purifying power of sustained devotion
  • Rest in a field created through continuous remembrance of God

This yajna is offered as a loving act of service to the benefit of all who are present, their families community and the world at large.

Maha-abhishekam

Following the 24-yajna, Paramahamsa Vishwananda and the pujaris will perform a rare maha-abhiskekam on all the deities in the Paranitya Narasimha Temple.

This is a sacred Vedic ritual where the Deity is bathed with prayers, mantras, and symbolic offerings.

In the Bhakti tradition, Abhishekam is an act of intimate devotion:

  • Balances the elements, inside and out
  • Dissolves fear and inner resistance
  • Invites grace, protection, and renewal

As the Divine is honored, participants often experience a deep inner cleansing — a sense of being held, protected, and restored.

What You'll Experience at the Temple

  • Maha-abhishekam

    A powerful Vedic ritual that only happens 2 times each year! This powerful ritual invokes blessings, purity, and divine grace for all present.

    One of the highlights of any event at the Temple – amazing kirtan! Kirtan is a powerful and fun way to open the heart and be filled with the Love of the Divine.

  • Blessed Food

    Enjoy prasadam—prepared with devotion, infused with grace, and served with love. More than just a meal, it’s a sacred blessing that uplifts and transforms from within.

    Satsang with Paramahamsa Vishwananda is more than an inspiring talk - it’s a direct transmission of wisdom, love, and divine grace from a God-realized Master.
