Maha Sudarshana-Narasimha – panchaloha

This is a special and rare aspect of a deity, not often seen. Featured right outside the main temple of Shree Peetha Nilaya, it is a form of Narasimha on the back of the Sudarshana Chakra. Together, it’s called Sudarshana-Narasimha.

On one side, Maha-sudarshana offers great protection from everything, from your mind, and from others. He holds the Sudarshana Chakra of Narayana (the disk on His finger), which is a powerful spiritual weapon. It also symbolises the wheel of time.

The other side of the deity is Yoga-Narasimha. In this special form, He holds the Sudarshana Chakra of Narayana in all four of His hands, instead of the traditional weapons.

The Sudarshana Chakra is Lord Narayana’s most powerful weapon. It is used to protect all living entities by destroying evil, removing darkness and erasing negativity. Focusing on the Sudarshana Chakra protects us from the negativity of our own minds, and from any negativity directed at us from others.
