I have been worsipping Narasimha in my house, in picture and in idol form for the past 12 yearsor so and my life has become happy and prosperous only after I started worshipping Him.Narasimha . contrary to the general belief is nothing to be afraid of and in my opinion He is more beautiful than any other incarnations. Hiranyakasipu was frightened of Him but not Prahlada. You will not be afraid of your own father if he appears in a frightful costume.Moreover all the forms of Lord  Narayana are satthvik and no harm in worshipping Him in any form.Narasimha is the most reliable and most kind of all the incarnations and that is why, Rukmini calls Krishna as Narasimha in her letter .and Andal mentions Him as  kOlLari mAdhavan and arimugan achyuthan in 'vAraNamAyiram.' Nrsimhavathara is the best example of bhakthaparipalanam of the Lord.He fulfilled all the conditions of the boon given by Brahma to protect his word and as Desika says, He pervaded the whole Universe to make the words of His devotee Prahlaa who said that the Lord is everywhere and was waitng to see where Hiranyakasipu was going ti o point out. And hence Desika says that apart from the one pillar which Hiranyakasipu struck Narasimha is still occupying all theother places and the whole world is nrsimhagarbha even now.As far as I am concerned Nrsimha is the most attractive and His smile is more bewitching than anything else.I can go on writing about Him as He is my dearewt closest and I can=t live without Him. So Take my word and do not believe in the words of others that Nrsimha or in fact any other form of the Lord Narayana (some say you should not have krishna with flute or Krishna in geethopadesa at home) is suave and auspicious, because he is bhakthavathsaa. Only those whose heart has no love for Him should fear Him, not the devotees. I will send you the most beautiful picture of Him i have but i do not know whether the group takes attachments .If you don't recive it let me know if youi want it and I will send you to your email address.By the way, most of the followers of Ahobila mutt have Lakshminarasimha as their household God.But make sure you have Lakshminarasimha which is the usual picture or idol you get and not mere Narasimha.

Dear Sir,
I heard that the pictures of Lord Narasimha are not supposed to be kept at homes for worship.Is this correct.
Can I keep the Picture of Sholingur SRI YOGA NARASIMHAR's picture at home.Is there any special ritual to be observed.
Please let me know.
Regards,
Suresh Narasimhan
