I recently found an article(very breif) on Ashta-Mukha-Ganda-Bherunda-NRsimha. With some google search, I could get some info that there is a temple of this scary form of paramatma in Andhra at Yadagiri-gutta. I am a srivaishnava from karnataka and my knowledge of Andhra and my devotion is limited to Tirumala and its lord. Could someone in the grp kindly enlighten me on this aspect of lord? I also read that this form is more tantric in nature. Is that so? if so, can srivaishnavas learn more about him? Thanks, Jayanth Dasa.

 

YADAGIRI GUTTA IS A 100 KM DISTANCE TEMPLE FROM HYDERABAD. LORD LAKSHMI NARASIMHA IS THERE IN FIVE FORMS. ONE AMONG THEM IS GANDA BHERUNDA NARASIMHA SWAMY. THIS FORM IS NOT CLEARLY VISIBLE TO THE VISITING DEVOTEES AS THIS IS UNDER A STONE. LORD HERE IT SAYS, IS A SELF-INCARNATED ONE. THERE IN THAT TEMPLE
HE IS WORSHIPPED ACCORDING TO SRI PANCHARATRA ONLY NOT IN TANTRIC WAY OF WORSHIP.
