In our modern world, we come across many so called “Hindus” who say, we are religious but do not believe in rituals. We celebrate Deepawali, Christmas, Id everything. Basically, they want to appear Secular.
We will see how they are grossly mistaken.

The modern 21st century people run behind (2) & (3) – they don’t want to be right (1) and are completely ignorant about (4) – hence they appear liberal and say they do not believe in rituals.

...that, Bhagwan Narasimhan is indeed MumkshuPaasya Devata.
Bhagawan Ramanuja, Swami Desikan, Shri Raghavendra Swamy and many more noble souls are equal in declaring that the one who grants Moksham is Narasimha.

Bhagawan Narasimhan gives his blessings only to selected devotees – they need to upgrade themselves in the Mumukshupadi to be enable to get HIS Grace (just like Prahalada)
There are some devotees who have genuine fear – Can we pray to Narasimha? He looks so ferocious.

Can we keep his photo in our house? My answer is simple. During the Avatara of Narasimha, though Hiranyakashyapu was gigantic built and an Asura – it was he who was afraid of Narasimha – whereas the 5 year old child, Prahalada was not at all afraid.

In fact after killing Hiranyakashyapu, Lord Narasimha was very ferocious and nobody, including Mahalakshmi could approach him, EXCEPT, Prahalada (because of his single point bhakti towards Narasimha). Now ask the same question to yourself.

A person who wishes to get away from the cycle of birth and death is a Mumukshu. Whereas Mumukshutva is the power which gives the inclination to seek Vairagyam (dispassion) and detachment.
Now some of you may ask, we are living in a world with real relatives and...
