Re: Lord Narasimha

Dear Sridhar,
My question was different. Let me rephrase it. In general, Death has to be honoured". That is what Lord Rama showed us during Vali and Ravana's death. But only in this avataram, why he acted this way of wearing the intestines of a dead person?  If you say that he was so caring for his bhaktha (here it is prahlada), why he did not give moksha to prahlada? I think that i have presented the question properly. 
Thanks,
Srinath

Dear Srinath,

The lord apperaed in such a fierce form , bcoz of
iranyakashiphu's own varams. and also the lord killed
him in such a fiercy way , only to let us know, how
much he cared for his devotees, the lord is known as
shantaswaroopa ,( the one who never gets wild) inspite
of this , he took this specific avataram only to
indicate that he is always and ever on this devotees
side.

more over as the vedas indicate( purnam adah, purnam
idham.......) he is purnam , there is no lack in this
attitudes or guna's. so there is no need to question ,
why the lord had taken to such a fierce form .
