Shri Nrisimha Mahamantra with new yoga teachers from Bamberg and Bayreuth
Friday, 10 April, 2026

New yoga teachers from Bamberg and Bayreuth in Germany are chanting the Shri Nrisimha Mahamantra during a saturday evening satsang at Yoga Vidya in Bad Meinberg, Germany. Here are the lyrics to sing along: Ugram Viram Maha-vishnum 'Jvalantam Sarvato-mukham / Nri-sinham Bhishanam Bhadram 'Nrityu-nrityum Namany Aham // 1 // Namas Te Nara-sinhaya 'Prahlada-hlada-dayine / Hiranya-kashipor Vaksah- 'Shila-tanka-nakhalaye // 2 // Ito Nri-sinhah Parato Nri-sinho 'Yato Yato Yami Tato Nri-sinhah / Bahir Nri-sinho Hridaye Nri-sinho 'Nri-sinham Adim Sharanam Prapadye // 3 // Narasimha is the lion god. Narasimha is an incarnation of Vishnu. Vishnu takes on various forms to restore dharma, the divine order. And Narasimha is one of them. Narasimha means half human, half lion. Simha means lion, Nara means human. Narasimha, the man-lion, or sometimes simply Nrisimha, the human lion or the lion-like man. Man-lion, lion-man is how it is translated. This kirtan consists of three verses and invokes this lion power. If you are interested in seminars with music, you can find here seminars on mantra and music.
