When the Deity of Nṛsiṁhadeva first appeared in Mayapur, many pujari priests were somewhat afraid to worship His fierce form, but Bhava-Siddhi Dasa was especially frightened and always served with inner tension.
One night, after putting the Deity to rest and already leaving the altar, he heard such a powerful sound that, as he later said, it made his hair stand on end. He looked around in fear, but everything was in its place. He then quickly left, locked the altar door, and bowed down, asking forgiveness in case he had accidentally committed some offense in his service.
Later that same night, he awoke to find his bed shaking. At first he thought that the other pujari, who slept on the lower bunk, had gotten up. But when he opened his eyes, the story says, he saw Nṛsiṁhadeva sitting on his bed. Bhava-Siddhi was overcome with terror, almost panic. At that moment, Nṛsiṁhadeva placed two hands on his shoulders—in Pankajanghri Dasa’s retelling, they felt “like the weight of the entire universe.” The Lord then calmed him with these words: “Be calm, be peaceful. I have simply come to tell you: when you worship Me in the temple, there is no need to fear Me. Please let go of this fear.”
After that, according to the account, Nṛsiṁhadeva disappeared, and Bhava-Siddhi ran out onto the veranda and began pacing back and forth in shock. The other devotees asked what had happened, but he could not give a coherent answer, and some even thought that he had either gone mad or had been “disturbed by a spirit.” Eventually, he ran to the temple, prostrated himself before Nṛsiṁhadeva’s door, and began praying fervently. Only after some time did he calm down a little. As he was returning, he noticed that everyone was looking at him: it turned out that he had run into the temple in his nightclothes. Even in such a terrifying episode, life gave him a knowing wink in its own way—first cosmic horror, then a small piece of human comedy.
Pankajanghri Dasa adds an important detail: later, he saw Bhava-Siddhi at the Gaura Purnima festival and asked him about the story. He replied that it was true and said that marks from Nṛsiṁhadeva’s hands still remained on his shoulders, although by then they had almost disappeared.
Manohar Shyam Prabhu spoke about severe wildfires in Argentina. The fire is described as extremely powerful: hot winds, flames devouring everything in their path, and emergency services evacuating people from their homes.
His mother, who worshiped Mayapur’s Nṛsiṁhadeva, saw flames rising approximately twenty feet high and moving straight toward her house. In a more detailed version of the same account, it is said that the family had already loaded everything they could save into a car and was preparing to leave, while the wall of fire was already about twenty meters from the house.
And at that moment, according to the account, she called out to Nṛsiṁhadeva for help with all her heart. After that, the wind suddenly changed direction, and the flames moved elsewhere, leaving the house and family unharmed.
