Dear Jayashree,
When we were living in Visakhapatnam, we have visited Simhachalam temple often.
Except one day in a year, the main deity is covered with sandal paste in Lingam shape.
''It is one of the eighteen "Narasimha Kshetras" i.e. shrines of Lord Narasimha in India. The main deity inside the temple
sanctorum gives "nijaroopa darshan" (holy appearance in true form) for only 12 hours in a year i.e. on Akshaya Tritiya day,
the rest of the time the deity is covered with Sandalwood paste. The darshan described as 'Chandana yatra' or 'Chandanotsavam'
falls every year in Vaisakha masa.''
Please read more here: Simhachala Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha Swami
. As an OP, I think I'm free to declare I intended this thread for those simple folks who have not yet realized god but would love to sing his glory and the glory of his devotees.
Thanks.
Here is the song beautifully rendered by Prince Rama Varma:........
Lets sing in glory for the Lord to blow away the cloud of multitude of sins and Who protects the ignorant ..so beautifully described by Saint Thyagaraja...........
No comedy what-so-ever. :nono:
Please remember that this thread is in 'Religion forum' and not in 'Chit Chat'.
May the Force be with you.

<edited. Mocking me is fine. But mocking or posting silly comments about gods can be disrespectful/hurting other sentiments. Hence the linga post has been removed and this one.
You should also be aware the current political climate is like walking ticking time bomb. There are fringe elements everywhere always on the lookout for cheap publicity.
I rather would have 2 dissatisfied members than get this site shutdown because of a few irresponsible posts made by a member who thinks it is fun. - Praveen>

Rajini gets censored twice - His film Linga certified for U exhibition was censored again when a clippet was posted here!
To day another film Main Hoon Rajinikanth though certified by censor board for U exhibition is censored again by HC!
To protect Rajini's rights, HC blocks censor-certified film - The Times of India
OMG! Why this kola veRi?Rajini gets censored twice - His film Linga certified for U exhibition was censored again when a clippet was posted here! .......
So Rajinikanth = the one here who gets a knock frequently from the Boss and gets painted red suo moto, never forgets it, keeps wailing about it again and again.
Jai ho Rajini.
Shiva! Shiva! ray2:
Rajini has to keep this thread going on and on ! :car:
Dear Mrs. J J,
Thanks for the respect shown.
Mocking God's name is not fun in this forum, especially when the thread is in 'Religion' forum.
I know very well that laughter is the best medicine; hence I write kadi kavithaigaL in Literature forum.
But, I make sure that no offense to any religion / God / Goddesses is written - rather typed! :typing:
Foot notes for the readers: I requested Mrs. J J to edit her post and she obliged to that.
