Re: Lord Narasimha

Dear Srinath,
 Another wave of thought came to me during my japam today, I am sure HE gave it to me, I just wanted to share! 
HiraNyakaSipu was an asura in real sense in 'that' birth, but he was a vishNu bhakta originally. After being cursed, both jaya and vijaya repented for their misconduct and lord assured them of their original jobs after three births! All HE wanted was just one good deed from HiraNyakaSipu, HE garlanded himself (being an alankara priya) with the intestine removed from mangled body of HiraNyakaSipu, even though he was under tremendous fury. It was as if  HiraNyakaSipu himself garlanded Sri narahari. Would HiraNyakaSipu do it if he were to be alive?

The lord did not give prahlada moksha, bcoz he wanted
to set prahlada as an example to other asuras, he
wanted the other asuras also to follow the path of
devotion and get their life enhanced, ( here the lord
clearly shows his karuna bhavam towards the other
ignorant asura's).

Thanks 
Sridhar.S
