Dear Vaishnavas,
I had gone to India for a month-long vacation. It was my real fortune that my folks had relocated to Velachery, one of the popular suburbs of Madras. Not many realize that there is a really beautiful temple dedicated to Lord Sri Yoga Narasimha Swami. The main deity of Yoga Narasimhar is really beautiful, the author personally feels that he is one of the most beautiful deities he has ever seen. Narasimhar here is really big, with his really wide, extremely gorgeous eyes, he can make many "Uranga-Vizhi Dasar"s even today!! He is four-armed, with the two front arms resting on his lap symbolizing his state of Yoga. Supposed to be a very powerful deity, the author was informed by one of the bhattars that Lord Sri Narasimhar chose this place to rest in his Yogic posture.
The temple is very easily accessible by any mode of transport. Situated on the Velachery Main road, there is a bus-stand located less then 100 yards from the temple, all sorts of Metro buses (normal, express, etc..) stopping there.
I request all the adiyaars in this forum residing abroad to make it a point to visit this temple and seek the blessings and grace of Swami Yoga Narasimhar, the next time they get to visit India. The adiyaars living in Madras should visit (or rather rush to!!) the temple definitely.The bhattars are real nice and knowledgeable, infact one of the bhattars is a PG in Mathematics, and he is doing seva at the temple out of his own interest.
If I am right, the timings are the following : 8.00 - 10.30 AM in the mornings, and 5.30 - 8.30 in the evenings.
If interested, the Vaishnavas in the forum can peruse the following link:
I shall scan and upload the picture of the Moolavar in another mail.
