Runa Vimochana Sri Nrusimha Stothram - An Astro Remedy

Om! Gam! Ganapathaye! Namaha!
Om! Sri Raghavendraya Namaha!
Om! Namo! Bhagavathe! Vaasudevaya!
Om! Ham! Hanumathe! Sri Rama Doothaya Namaha!


Vaisakha sukla Chaturdasi is the day Lord Sri Maha Vishnu got manifested as Lord Narasimha during Pradosha time in the constellation of Swathi in Krutha Yuga and killed the demon Hiranyakasipa. This day is celebrated as Sri Nrusimha Jayanthi. Worshipping Lord Narasimha is considered to be an effective remedy for astrological related problems especially Mars and Saturn related. Mars is considered to be the Paramatma Amsa of Nrusimhaavathara.  For those born under the constellation of Mrigasira, Chitta and Dhanista whose star Lord is Mars, and Swathi whose star Lord is Rahu, regular worship of Lord Narasimha will be very useful. In general for Navagraha Doshas, Apamrityu dosha, sufferings from ill health, debts, enemies, problems of evil spirits, accidents, sudden aberrations and obstacles in life etc. worship of Lord Narasimha is a suggested remedy. It will also be very useful and effective while undergoing the periods of Sade Sath, Astama Sani, and Ardhastama Sani (all related to Saturn) in the Gochaara.


Some of the very effective prayers of Lord Narasimha are Sri Narasimha Nakha Stuthi composed by the great Saint, Philosopher and founder of Dvaita Philosophy, Sri Madhvacharya himself and Runa Vimochana Sri Nrusimha Stothram an extract from Sri Nrusimha Purana.  Others in the list are Nrusimha Mantra Rajam, Nava Narasimha Mantram, Prahlada Virachita Narasimha Kavacham, Sri Nrusimha Panchamrutha Sthothram (by Lord Sri Rama), Sri Mantrarajapada Sthothram (by Lord Shiva), Sri Narasimha Sthuthi (by Sri Narayana Panditacharya), Sanaischara Virachita Sri Nrusimha Kavacham, Sri Nrusimha Karavalamba Sthothram composed by Sri Aadi Sankaracharya etc.
