Sri Nadhi Narasimha Swamy Temple

Lord Narasimha Swamy

Man naturally faces anxiety, fear, pain, sadness, and many other emotional distresss in life at times. When all attempts to free himself of ailments fail, man seeks help from the higher power as a last resort. Lord Narasimha Swami, one of the ten Avataras of Lord Narayana, is THAT HIGHER power who can move him out of the rot.

However, help can only come if he seeks god’s grace with the utmost faith and a devotion-filled heart. “Faith can move mountains” is the adage that is always true.  One should have a deep “Faith” in god and “Hope” to keep his life going.

Narasimha Stuti – Daha Daha Narasimha….

By sheer listening to the above stuti, we can feel blessed. It can fill us with confidence and courage that all our problems will finally be solved with the lord’s grace.  Such is the power and vibes the lord exuberates. So, regular visits to any Narasimha swami temple are a must to bring peace and tranquility to life. 

A thousand years old temple complex

The Nadhi Narasimha Swamy temple faces the river, indicating its proximity to the water. Besides the Gunja Narasimha Swamy Temple in Tirumkudal Narasipura, this is the only other Narasimha Swamy shrine situated on a riverbank. The temple is beautifully flanked by agricultural fields on both sides, creating a serene atmosphere.

This ancient shrine is a protected monument, maintained by the Directorate of Archaeology and Museums, Government of Karnataka. According to available records, the shrine dates back to the 11th century, thus making it 1000 years-old temple. Renovations were carried out about 100 years ago, with only the outer walls and, the mantapa around the shrine being new additions.

Temple History

Legend has it that the river was originally known as Nirmala. When Sage Kanva engaged in severe penance here, it came to be called the Kanva River. According to legend, millennia ago, King Saraangadaara ruled this region. He wanted to witness the special prayers conducted by Sage Kanva on the night of Swathi nakshatra.

The sage forbade the king from coming to the temple on that special night, but the king disobeyed and appeared before the sage during the prayers. The sage was furious to see the king during the spiritual ceremony. Out of anger, he cursed the king, leading to the destruction of the village.

Lord Narasimha Swamy’s intervention

The village residents prayed to Lord Narasimha Swami to intervene and show the way forward. In response to the prayers of the local people, Lord Narasimha Swamy directed Sage Kanva to build the shrine on this riverbank, so that people can regularly pray and get Lord’s blessings. Millennia later, it is believed that the Maharaja of Mysore, Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar, patronized this shrine and granted 12 acres of land for its maintenance.

Temple Architecture

The shrine is a single-dome structure in the Dravidian style, facing east. The small temple complex is enclosed by a prakara (compound) with a side entrance and the mahadwara (main door) through the gopuram in front, facing the river.

The Gopuram and the Shikhara are adorned with beautiful statues and sculptures of Lord Vishnu in various forms. There are idols of other deities. The vimana over the sanctum features a central dome surrounded by intricate statues of gods, demons, humans, and animals.

Lord Narasimha Swamy moola vigraha

The magnificent idol of Lord Narasimha Swamy, crafted from black stone, is in a seated position. His eternal consort, Lakshmi Devi, looks to be on his lap. Local belief suggests that there are remains of an underground tunnel (Suranga Marga) extending from the temple’s main entrance to Abbur, a small village located on the Bengaluru-Mysuru Highway. It is said that King Saraangadaara, whose palace was in Abbur, used this underground pathway to visit the temple.

Narasimha Swami moola mantra

Devotees chant the Narasimha moola mantra while performing pradakshina (circumambulation) and tie unhusked coconuts to two iron rods inside the temple. They also place lemons near the sanctum as offerings to fulfill their wishes.

During the pradakshina, one can observe small idols of Lord Vishnu in various forms of the Dasavathara adorning the inner walls of the shrine. Additionally, there is a beautiful idol of Hanuman in a meditative posture, enhancing the temple’s spiritual ambiance.

How do I get there?

GAIL Inaugurates 10 MW Green Hydrogen Plant in Madhya Pradesh

Vijaipur, Madhya Pradesh, May 25, 2024: GAIL (India) Limited has taken a significant step towards advancing new and alternate energy sources by inaugurating its first Green Hydrogen Plant at GAIL Vijaipur in Madhya Pradesh. The inauguration event, held on 24-05-2024, was graced by the Secretary of the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, Shri Pankaj Jain. Key figures from GAIL, including Chairman and Managing Director Shri Sandeep Gupta, Director (Projects) Shri Deepak Gupta, and Director (Human Resources) Shri Ayush Gupta, along with other senior officials, were present to mark this milestone.

The Green Hydrogen plant, set up as a pilot project, has a production capacity of 4.3 TPD (tons per day) of hydrogen using 10 MW Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Electrolyzer units. This facility produces hydrogen through the electrolysis of water powered by renewable energy sources. The hydrogen produced here boasts a purity of 99.999% (by volume) and is generated at a pressure of 30 kg/cm².

Initially, the hydrogen from this plant will be utilized as fuel in conjunction with natural gas for various processes and equipment within the existing Vijaipur plant. Plans are also in place to distribute this hydrogen to retail customers in nearby areas using high-pressure cascades.

In addition to sourcing renewable power through open access, GAIL is establishing around 20 MW of solar power capacity at Vijaipur, including both ground-mounted and floating solar plants, to meet the green power requirements for the 10 MW PEM Electrolyzer.

This initiative aligns with the National Green Hydrogen Mission and underscores GAIL’s commitment to exploring new and sustainable energy solutions. The inauguration of this plant signifies a pivotal move towards reducing carbon footprints and fostering a cleaner, greener energy future in India.

SpiceJet to Seek a Refund of INR 450 Crores after Delhi High Court Ruling

SpiceJet to Seek a Refund of INR 450 Crores after Delhi High Court Ruling

Gurugram, May 22, 2024: The Delhi High Court’s Division Bench has ruled in favor of SpiceJet and its promoter, Ajay Singh, in the protracted share transfer case against former promoter Kalanithi Maran and his firm, KAL Airways. The court’s decision, dated May 17, overturns a previous ruling by a single-judge bench and positions SpiceJet to reclaim a significant portion of the INR 730 Crores it had previously paid.

Following the court’s ruling, SpiceJet is set to seek a refund of INR 450 Crores from the total amount it had paid to Maran and KAL Airways. This sum includes INR 580 Crores in principal and an additional INR 150 Crores towards interest. The High Court’s decision nullifies the prior order, enabling SpiceJet to pursue the substantial refund based on legal advice.

The appeal filed by SpiceJet and Ajay Singh contested several key issues related to the refund and the justification of interest. The Division Bench found merit in these challenges, stating that the single-judge bench had not adequately addressed these concerns in its previous order from July 31, 2023.

In its ruling, the Division Bench highlighted errors made by the single judge in dismissing the Section 34 petitions of Ajay Singh and SpiceJet. The court noted that the single judge had overlooked claims of patent illegality and had issued a refund order against SpiceJet despite admitted breaches by KAL Airways and Kalanithi Maran. Additionally, the court found that penal interest had been unjustly charged to SpiceJet, despite the airline not being in breach of the Share Purchase Agreement.

The Division Bench’s decision to set aside the judgment from July 31, 2023, allows SpiceJet to proceed with reclaiming INR 450 Crores and rectifies the previous judicial oversight.

About SpiceJet

SpiceJet is recognized as India’s favorite airline, making air travel affordable for a larger number of Indians. As an IATA-IOSA certified airline, SpiceJet operates a fleet of Boeing 737s and Q-400s and is a leading player in India’s regional aviation sector. The airline runs numerous daily flights under the UDAN or Regional Connectivity Scheme, with a majority of its fleet featuring SpiceMax, known for offering the most spacious economy class seating in India.
