Lord Caitanya taking darshan of Lord Nrsimhadev.

Our presentation comes to a close with Lord Caitanya. By His mercy, our Sampradaya glorifies and worships Lord Nrsimhadev. While Lord Caitanya was residing in Jagannath Puri for the last 12 years of his life, he regularly went into the Jagannath Temple to worship Lord Nrsimhadev, who is situated there in a little temple just inside the entrance to the main temple. Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu chanted the same mantras we're singing today about Lord Nrsimhadev. Therefore, Srila Prabhupada introduced worship of Lord Nrsimhadev as part of our daily sadhana program, explaining that we should worship Lord Nrsimhadev because when one is a preacher, he is subjected to all sorts of dangers within this material world. Lord Nrsimhadev is the Mercy incarnation who protects the preachers in Krsna Consciousness from being harassed by demoniac forces.
