The Books & Narasimha Deities

My Name is Dhruva. 

Although now a young man, my childhood was anything but ordinary. Unlike most Western youth, I grew up in ashrams in India and America, where my parents embraced the teachings of India and her eternal religion of sanatan dharma, which included reverence for Lord Narasimha the God of Yoga & Protection. In the ashrams, I used to serve His deity form on a regular basis, creating a connection of loving attachment to Him. His protective nature captivated my mind and heart, especially since, like Prahlad, I was only a child and knew that He would show compassion to me as someone who was completely dependent on Him. 

As I grew older, my attraction for Him grew more and more, eventually developing into an intense desire to search out and find His temples in India. Though I was only a young teenager, when the chance finally came, I seized it and ended up going to Ahobilam (where He is said to have manifested on earth), on the southeastern coast of the country. After that first experience, I knew I just had to find more Narasimha temples and document them for posterity — to show the world. Battling my way through the hottest jungles, mountains and deserts. I found the most incredible Temples dedicated to this most mysterious Lord. It has taken me over 28 years and I found just under 1500 of His incredible temples. Having adventures of a lifetime and meeting some of the most empowering saints and yogis who helped and encouraged me on my quest to find each and every temple dedicated to the God of yoga and divine protector Narasimha. These adventures and dedication have led to me publishing a book ( Narasimha The Lost Temples ) volume one of a trilogy. Currently I am working on the second book ( Narasimha The God of Yoga which will show how yoga originated from His manifestation.
