Gandaberunda Narasimha

One of my favourute forms of Narasimha is Gandaberunda. Here he has 8 faces, 32 hands.

Worship of each face will rant one with different powers such as worship of the horse face will
rant !nowlede, the varaha or boar face will help destroy enemies.
" fre#uently et turned off by people who ive more importance to stories around these deities,
such as oriin of pratyanira to subdue Narasimha, or sharabha to subdue Narasimha. $eople et
cauht in all these stories that they fail to appreciate the beauty of the lord. $ratyanira is also a
beautiful and a very powerful form of the oddess. "n fact, "ndra%it tried worshippin $ratyanira
as Ni!umbali!a &evi and was stopped by 'a!shmana before "ndra%it was !illed.
Gandaberunda is one of the most powerful forms of prayoams we !now of in the current world.
(he upasana re#uires one to maintain celibacy atleast till he ets siddhi. )s a basic #ualification
one re#uires initiation into Narasimha )nushtup *antra before he can start Gandaberunda
Narasimha. "f " can recall, there are about + or , Gandaberunda temples -all in )$..
" have performed Gandaberunda yanams and the power is unimainable, especially as
protection aainst neative eneries and to brea! related Graha /andhams.

"t is one of the most fierceful forms of Narasimha. He has 8 heads4 *on!ey or 5anara,
5araha or /oar, /alu!a or /ear,horse faced, aruda or eale faced, vyara or tier faced,
mriara%a or lion faced and pa!shi or bird faced. Worship of each face rants one with the
appropriate siddhis.
"t is a very powerful prayoam and this prayoam if rihtly done canot be countered by
any other prayoams. Gandaberunda 6alpa is a boo! in teluu describin the poo%a
vidhanams written by a Gandaberunda upas!a who is no more.

" will try locatin the boo!. /ut what would be your purpose for tryin
Gandaberunda. (he mantra is typically iven after the sadha!a completes
a ood amount of ashta!shara and mantrara%a. Once " met a person who
was tellin me about somebody whom he had met near *atapalli and was
enaed in Gandaberunda sadhana. 8omethin went wron and the old
man had lost his eye siht but still after rectifications underta!in the
sadhana. 8trict celibacy needs to be maintained.
However, there are people who are still enaed in the sadhana and have
completed purascharana of the mantra. One of the reat upasa!as of this
form had passed away last year. He has built a Gandaberunda temple in
vi9a!.
