The Lord tears out the Ego ! This is the Esoteric Secret of Narasimha Avatar. Emblem of Ego, Hiranya Kasipu, was so vainglorious, that he even decried the Lord. Prahlad, his son and devotee, was subject to numerous tortures till the Lord intervened as Half Man Half Lion, and annihilated the Ego ! How Great Thy Nails / As They tore into the Ego / How Glorious Thy Appearance / As Thou gave Self Actualisation ! / Tava Kala Kamala Vare / Nakham Adbhuta Sringam / Dalita Hiranya Kasipu Thanu Bhringam / Kesava Dhruta ! Narahari Roopa ! / Jaya Jagadeesa Hare !
