It is also found in Garuda Purana, very interesting, that Lord Shiva was approached by all the Devas, that there was a demon called Andhaka, that they had to destroy him.

So then he took from all the demigods, he took energy, and he made a whole army of celestial energies, with destructive power called…they were called the Matri Danas, the mothers!

But actually they were destructive. Instead of going after the demon, they started to go after the ordinary citizens; They were devouring everything, planets, starts, people, destroying the skies.

So then Lord Shiva, he didn’t know what to do!? So he started to pray to Lord Nrsingadev. I didn’t bring the mantras, beautiful mantra..Lord Shiva praying to Nrsingadev. Om Namo Jagannathaya!..Lord of the Universe..Nrsingaya! So many nice verses that, “You’re..thousands of, brilliant-like thousands of Suns”, and maybe about eight-ten verses, very beautiful..Shiva’s prayers to Nrsingadev in the Garuda Purana.

Then Nrsingadev appeared and Shiva requested Him..”I created these destructive energies. It’s not right that I destroy them, if You can somehow neutralize them I’ll be very grateful.”

So from the Nrsingadev’s mouth, from His tongue manifested thousands of spiritual energies, and then each one of them to one of these destructive energies and neutralized them!

There are many different Nrsinga temples, in, especially in south India. Ofcourse, here we have our Nrsingapalli, where the Lord Nrsinga was flying over Navadweep then he landed in Nrsingapalli, and he wasn’t approachable after killing Hiranyakashipu, but here he became very approcahable.

So all the devas built cottages around Nrsingadev’s, build Him a cottage and they were serving Him, giving Him bogha and faning and doing all kinds of personal services. So here in Navadweep dham, the Lord is accessable. 

And ofcourse when Murari Gupta was chanting the Vishnu Sahasranam, when he got to Nrsingadev, Lord Caitanya got in the mood of Lord Nrsingadev, ran out with a stick, “Where are the demons?!! Where are the demons, I’ll kill them all!!

People were seeing the huge form of Lord Caitanya with a stick, crying He was going to kill demons and then they all started running. Then Lord  Caitanya when He saw them running, he came back to normal consciousness, then He told Murari Gupta that, “I scared all those people!”. He (Murari gupta) said, “No, just by seeing You in that mood they were all liberated. 

So, Lord Caitanya manifested in Mayapur, in this mood of ‘looking for the demons’, and somehow our Nrsingadev, Sthanu Nrsinga, when He comes out from the column and He is looking for the demons!
