A mandala Deeksha (40 day) pradakshina is very popular made by many devotees to get cured of a long standing ailment or chronic disease.

Many devotees tell of vivid dreams in which the Lord comes to heal them from chronic or terminal illnesses, and even mental or emotional problems. Many instances are cited of the Lord appearing in the dreams of the devotees, and administering medicines and operated the patients and blessed them with good health. The region of Yadagirigutta is reputed to be a “Rushi Aradhana Kshetram” or the place of worship for sages.Īs the belief goes, Lord Narasimha has taken on the role of a “doctor” and is known as “Vaidya Narasimha” by his devotees at this shrine to cure many chronic diseases and the role of a ‘do gooder’ to those who are under the influence of bad planets, witch craft and black magic. Lord Narasimha is believed to have been worshiped by sages (rushis). The puja vidhanam (Worship procedure) was set by Late Sri Vangeepuram Narasimhacharyulu who composed Yadagiri Suprabhatam, Prapatti, Stotram, Mangalashasanam and served as Sthanacharya of this temple. The tribals searched for many years to find their Lord, to no avail.Īfter many years had passed, the Lord appeared in the dream of a devout lady among the tribe, directing her to a large cavern wherein He revealed Himself to all as five majestic Avatars.The Aradhanam and Puja in this temple are performed according to Pancharatra Agamam. Because of this, Sri LakshmiNarasimha moved into to the hills. But, not being very learned, these devotees began to engage in improper worship. There the sage worshiped the Lord for many years.Īfter Yadarishi attained moksha, a number of tribals, Knowing of the Lord’s presence, came to worship Him at this temple. This spot is marked by a temple located at the foot of the Yadagiri hillock, and is located about 500 meters from the present temple. There is mention about the origin of this temple in the Skanda Purana, one of the famous 18 puranas.Īnother Legend also has it that Sriman Narayana, pleased with YadaRushi penance, sent Sri Anjaneya to direct the rishi to a holy spot, where the Lord appeared to him in the form of Sri LakshmiNarasimha. There are Purana and traditional accounts of this Shrine, which are widely popular among the devotees. They later manifested themselves into finely sculpted forms that later came to be worshiped as Pancha Narasimha Kshetram. Pleased with his deep devotion, Lord Narasimha, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu appeared before him in five different forms as Jwala, Yogananda, Gandabherunda, Ugra and Lakshminarasimha. In Tretayugam, there lived a sage by the name of Yadarishi, son of the great sage Rishyasrunga and Santa Devi who did penance inside a cave with the blessings of Anjaneya (Hanuman) on this hill between Bhongir (Bhuvanagiri) and Raigiri (Now in Nalgonda district of Andhra Pradesh, India). Yadagirigutta is a town in Nalgonda district in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. He is appearing to them in their dreams and conducting operations also. All the difficulties faced by the devotees are being cured through herbal medicines like fruits, flowers and Tulasi Teertham. The devotees who worship this deity with devotion, the problems faced by them in regarding their “Graha”, the difficulties through evil spirits and their all mental problems are being cured by the God & Godess. As such this is known as “Pancha Narasimha Kshetram”.

After securing blessing for his penance Lord Narasimha had come into existence in Five Avatharas called as Sri Jwala Narasimha, Sri Yogananda Narasimha, Sri Ugra Narasimha, Sri Gandaberunda Narasimha, Sri Lakshmi Narasimha. In Ancient days Sri Yada Maharshi son of Sri Rushyashrunga Maharshi with the Blessings of Anjaneya Swamy had performed great penance for Lord Narasimha Swamy. There is mention about the origin of this temple in the Skanda Purana, one of the famous 18 puranas.
