Sri:
Srimate Ramanujaya Nama:
Srimath Varavara Munaye Nama:

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:
http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/mp/2003/02/06/stories/2003020600690300.htm

I shall scan and upload the picture of the Moolavar in another mail.

AazhwAr emperumAnAr jeeyar thiruvadigaLe Saranam.

Dasan,
Kidambi Soundararajan.
