Lord Narasimha Birth Story
There was once a Krishna Devotee who passed a jungle chanting Narasimha mantra.
A tribal cheif’s son came before him and befriended him.
He asked him to do puja for his Shivling as he has some other work to do.
But the devotee told he will not worship any god other than Narasimha and called Shiva a demigod which made the Cheif’s son angry that he threatened the devotee with a sword that if he doesn’t worship Shivling he will kill him.
The poor devotee who doesn’t even know how to worship Shivling. He prayed Narasimha to help him and surprisingly saw Narasimha in the Shivling.
He applied the Vaishnava Tilak and poured milk over the shivling with a Shankha and did Krishna rituals to the Shivling.
When the Cheif’s son came back he got angry and drew his sword to kill the devotee for worshipping the Shivling as Krishna.At the moment…
The Shivling split and Narasimha came out of the Shivling and killed the cheif’s son.
The devotee got shocked and felt sorry for calling Shiva a demigod and realized Hari and Hara are same.
This place came to known as Lingasphota and here the Shivling is worshipped as Narasimha or Krishna.Thitunelli Temple Official website Link
