Lord Nrsimhadeva Comes to Mayapur – The TOVP Flipbook

“ON MARCH 24, 1984, at 12:20 A.M., thirty-five men armed with weapons and bombs attacked Sri Mayapur Chandrodaya Mandir, ISKCON’s center in Mayapur, West Bengal. When the dacoits tried to steal the Deities of Srila Prabhupada and Srimati Radharani, the devotees fearlessly challenged the attackers. How could the devotees see Srila Prabhupada and Srimati Radharani carried away? Both sides fired shots, and people on both sides were injured. Srila Prabhupada was rescued, but the Deity of Radharani was not.”

The description above begins the miraculous and dramatic history of the making and arrival of Lord Nrsimhadeva’s sthanu-ugra deity in Sridham Mayapur, narrated by Atma-tattva das (ACBSP) in the new TOVP flipbook, Lord Nrsimhadeva Comes to Mayapur. Accompanying this wonderful story are many never-before-seen photos of Prahlad-Nrsimhadeva in the workshop of the South Indian sthapati (diety-carver) and Their glorious arrival in ISKCON Mayapur in the summer of 1986. This year we celebrate the 37th Anniversary of Their installation ceremony, July 28-30, 1986.

The TOVP management is pleased to present this important archival book in the form of a free online flipbook that can be downloaded and shared. Also included in the flipbook are direct links to related Nrsimhadeva videos, a 360° panoramic cgi view of the hall and altar and other flipbooks. It is also a reminder that in October of this year, 2023, the completion of Lord Nrsimhadeva’s wing and altar in the TOVP will be celebrated during a 3-day festival and broadcast worldwide on Mayapur TV.

We also encourage our readers to please take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to serve Lord Nrsimhadeva, our Divine Protector, by contributing to the completion of His new home in the TOVP, the largest Nrsimhadeva temple in the world.
