The child devotee Prahlada prevailed on his father, Hiranyakasipu that the Lord Vishnu was omnipotent and omnipresent. Hiranyakasipu questioned his son’s faith. He hit a pillar and wanted Prahlada prove his point.

Narasimha unfolded Himself from the pillar with a mighty force that baffled Hiranyakasipu.

In a discourse, a scholar quipped that had Prahlada delayed his prayers, the Lord would have appeared in his full form, instead of half animal and half celestial!

The most handsome of Gods of the Hindu pantheon is Rama.
An unknown Telugu poet has described Rama as the finest of Gods too.

Elephant is black
Its tusks are white
Rama seated on its back
Is the God finest!

Most Hindu marriages are arranged ones. The boy meets the girl only on the nuptial night and after the wedding is over. “Love at first sight” is very rare. Many married couples find it hard to define” Love”. It takes quite some time before they understand that they are in love with each other. I and my wife were never separated until she had to travel to America to be with our daughter who was expecting a baby. I had to wait for her return for nearly 6 months. It was during that time, I really came to grips with what romance means to a man and his wife.
