Narasimha Dwadasa Nama Stotram is a stotra depicting the divine twelve names of Lord Narasimha. Lord Narasimha is the fourth incarnation of God Vishnu, is half-lion half-human, and furnishes a very fascinating study of the lord’s incarnation to alleviate the sufferings of devotees.
Lord Narasimha killed the king of Rakshasa, the Hiranyakashipu. Holi commemorates the death of Holika to save Prahlad and we see where Holi gets its name.
Narasimha is an influential iconic symbol of creative resistance, hope against odds, victory over persecution, and destruction of evil. He is the destructor of not only external evil but also one’s inner evil.
Narasimha is an avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu, one who incarnates in the form of part lion and part man to exterminate evil, and end religious persecution and calamity on Earth, thereby restoring Dharma.
The twelve names of Lord Nrisimha terminate all the sins and unjust Karmas. These holy names remove any kind of skin disease and any type of fever.
The seeker gets protection from endemics, floods, forests, mountains, thieves, animals, and war. And repeating it one thousand times would help you get what you want.
