What does Krishna like? Tulasi leaf of course with the mantra KLIM >written in Vermillion. > Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Jayatah And Narasimhadeva likes sweet rice. There is a story from Gaudiya Matha(there is one disciple of Sridhara Maharaja here, so I heard second hand from person that heard this from him-so for that reason don't know whether I am speaking of Ugra Narasimha or just Narasimha deity). There was an old baba whe had a math and a deity of Narasimhadeva. He had no one to leave this deity to worship him. Aside from his Math was one Gaudiya Matha and he saw that they were taking care of deities nicely there so he decided to leave his deity to them, which he did. However soon afterwards problems started happening in the math, everybody started quarelling with everybody, many brahmacaries left. So one other godbrother in the math of that godbrother whose matha was that said that problems must be from the improper worship of Narasimhadeva deity. So they did not know what to do and they went to other Godbrother and he accepted the deity. However same things started happening again, and the Matha was facing a breakup and everybody was quarelling with everybody and things were happening like that. So they went to Srila Sridhara Maharaja and told him the story and told him that they don't know what to do. So he said to them: " leave the deity here " , which they did, and Srila Sridhara Maharaja send his disciples to various directions from Navadivipa to find everything they could of importance for worship of Narasimha deva. So one Brahmacari went to Ekachakra, and found out that Narasimha deva is happy when he is offered sweet rice. They instantly started doing that in Navadvipa temple, and all the problems stopped, morover nobody was fighting with nobody. That deity is still in his Navadivipa Matha being offered sweet rice preparation every day. I hope this story inspires somebody who worships Narasimha deva to offer him his most liked preparation: Sweet rice. Also I want to state something ugly, but I feel necessary. About that woman that was raped. People here are too saintly to do something like that. It actually happened in Germany in Nava Jiyada Narasimha Kshetra some years ago. She is German, married for a Slovenian and lives here at present, for a short while. Therefore I took her example as I found out about that recently. Point I am trying to make is that when recently one mataji of Narayana Maharaja wanted to take some article from Srila Prabhupada for a World Vaisnava Association Magazine we are doing in Croatian she had to get permission from BBT, so she had to call tham to NJNK and they asked her for 108 dollars, and she said she does not have it, and so the conversation went on and on, and then they told her that they plan to close that farm and put Narasimhadeva underground, in the Earth??? I spoke couple of days ago with a friend that just went there for a month to find out whether they were just in a need of money and so they spoke like that, and he said that there are actually thoughts of closing it down but its not that realistic that it will happen. But then I spoke with one Gaudiya matha woman that recently came that was in India and she told me that its definitely not a principle to burry the deity underground if that has to happen but that the deity should rather be given to somebody to take care of it. Anyway, its not good for ISKCON to close temples connected to Narasimha deva in lights of what Sanjay explanained of ISKCON's chart. I hope they never do similar things again and have to reap consequences. your too much speaking sisya, Zavisa p.s. And I don't understand why Hrishikesha Maharaja needs to pay to anybody to put his guru's Srila Prabhupada's teaching into his magazine. However we founf things written by Srila Prabhupada before his coming to America that's not under copyrights from BBT so we'll have something to put into the magazine. >Purushottama has explained the others and Gauranga has also done the same. > " Bena Chera " has been used where Chera means Roots and Bena refers to a >plant that grows in the banks of rivers in Puri.
