Tirumala 05/10/16:
As a part of Sri Tirumala Venkateswara Swamy brahmotsavas, the lord Sri Malayappa Swamy has taken a ride on the so called ferocious vehicle that resembles a lion called as Simha Vahanam in the form of a Yoga Murthi. All the devotees who have seen this on the Wednesday night that is on the third night of brahmotsavas are all blessed by the almighty.
Importance:
As per the theology that is from a very long time of the Vaishnavism the Narasimh Avataram is considered as the most ferocious incarnation of the lord Vishnu among his ten avatars. This is actually represented in the form a lion head and human body. This avatar indicated that the lord is omnipresent. This incarnation is specifically explaining about the willingness of the god to protect his devotees and the ability to protect them under any circumstances which are impossible and difficult to appear. He does this when the devotee in need prays him sincierly and whole heartedly.
Pure Devotion:
Bhakta Prahallada is the son of a demon king but a devotee of the lord Narasimha Swamy. This bhakta prahallada has devotion towards the lord and his devotion indicated that pure devotion comes with the character but not from the birth right.
