About Aion Otherwise Known as Narasimha

[Kouros Aionios]

The image above depicts the story of Prahalada and his unwavering devotion to Narasimha.

"Unlike the evil and vile Hiranyakshipu, Prahlad, his son, was a big devotee of Lord Vishnu and prayed to him all the time. Once while talking to Prahlad, Hiranyakshipu was surprised to hear him sing the praises of Lord Vishnu. Furious, he punished Prahlad’s teacher and asked him to keep an eye on him.

With time, Hiranyakshipu got more and more furious at Prahlad for praying to Lord Vishnu. Finally he couldn’t take it anymore and asked his guards to kill Prahlad. The guards reluctantly agreed to kill him, but with each blow on Prahlad, their swords crumbled to pieces and Prahlad remained unharmed.

Hiranyakashipu Threatens Prahlada Not to Pray Lord Vishnu
Hiranyakshipu asked for some poisonous snakes to bite Prahlad, but he still remained unharmed. He then let loose mad elephants at him, but the elephants did not attack him at all. He decided to call his sister Holika, and asked her to make him sit on her lap and burn him to his death. He thought that this plan would work at least, but it was Holika, who was not immune to fire, who burnt down to ashes.

Now Hiranyakshipu was stumped. He was out of ideas and his anger had reached its peak. He dragged Prahlad and asked him if his Lord Vishnu was present in the room with them. Prahlad told him that the Lord was everywhere, and in frustration Hiranyakshipu mocked Prahlad and asked him if his Lord was present in a pillar next to them. Prahlad told him that he was. In rage, Hiranyakshipu kicked the pillar, and out came a ferocious being who was half man and half lion.

The creature screamed in a booming voice, that he was Narasimha, one among the ten avatars of Vishnu, who had come down to earth to kill Hiranyakshipu. He held Hiranyakshipu in a vice like grip and dragged him to the threshold of the door, which was neither outside nor inside his house. He placed him on his lap, which was neither sky nor the earth, and killed him with his claws at twilight, without using any weapons."

This is a beautiful story that proves the extraordinary power of Satan and his love and commitment for his faithful devotees.

Of all the myths, this story of Narasimha is one of my favorites. Thank you for writing on this.

I thought to comment on this thread because the night that Neptune entered Aries I had a dream that was very profound. As I mentioned before Narasimha appeared in my dreams as a child and I had no idea what this was at the time. I was talking to an Indian kid in a school and he was telling me about these visions he was having and about his different spiritual experiences and abilities which were numerous and quite impressive, and we were talking about God being Zeus and Vishnu and how they are the same being. Then out of nowhere I got instantly teleported to another realm and and out came what looked like Narasimha and orange flames were emitting from his entire face and body but he did not have the bright red hair and fangs showing like I had seen before, just his magnificent face in all its glory.

There was a long story that was explained about how many people, Yehuborim especially, tried to enslave this God to do their bidding and did terrible things to him and the people that worshiped him because of ignorance or selfishness. In front of him were two guards at his left and right and it appeared they were also on fire, it looked like they could have been mini forms of him but maybe not it was hard to tell because they were on fire. After some research these guards of Vishnu/Narasimha in myths are known as Jaya and Vijaya, the two dvarapalakas (gatekeepers) of Vaikuntha, the abode of the God Vishnu, and they are the sons of Kali (Lilith). These guardians are often depicted outside of various Vishnu temples across India and guard the front of it, on the left and right side.
I woke up feeling extremely good and refreshed like a heavy weight was lifted off my shoulders and my consciousness had completely shifted into a better state. It was almost like I felt that childlike joy again back when everything was so simple.

This form of our magnificent God is never to be underestimated he is truly extraordinary!
He will always have a special place in my heart.

Hail Narasimha!

I noticed that the Shinto God Raijin strikes an uncanny resemblance to Lord Narasimha. This is God's fierce and powerful form, but do not let looks deceive, because in my experience, it is also one of his most loving forms.

The concept of Kala (Time) originates from Hindu mythology, where he often appears as a ferocious deity or a monstrous half-lionman embodying time, death, and destruction. He is often portrayed as devouring everything in his path, symbolizing the relentless passage of time and the inevitability of death. At a Thai temple or Khmer ruin in Thailand, his frightening face will usually appear above a doorway that leads to the sacred inner chamber.

This is yet another representation of Satya, Saturn, Kronos as the all-devouring force of Time.

The Lion Man God theme also has roots in Ancient Germany with the famous Löwenmensch. The German name, Löwenmensch, meaning "lion-person" or "lion-human", is used most frequently because it was discovered and is exhibited in Germany. It is an anthropomorphic figurine combining a human-like body with the head of a cave lion. Determined by carbon dating of the layer in which it was found to be between 35,000 and 41,000 years old, it is one of the oldest-known examples of an artistic representation and THE OLDEST confirmed statue ever discovered. Much like Vedic Narasimha, Mithraic Ahrimanius/Leontocephaline, Greek Kronos, Egyptian Apademak, "The Demiurge" in Gnostic Depictions. This Depiction of the Supreme God features a lion-headed man God.

This being the OLDEST statue ever discovered is very significant and shows how ancient and important this form of the Supreme God truly was.
