Mythology of Yadagirigutta Sri Lakshminarasimha Swamy
Significance of Yadagirigutta
In Tretayugam, there lived a sage by the name of Yadarishi, son
of the great sage Rishyasrunga and Santa Devi who did penance inside a cave
with the blessings of Anjaneya (Hanuman) on this hill between Bhongir
(Bhuvanagiri) and Raigiri (Now in Nalgonda district of Andhra Pradesh, India).
Pleased with his deep devotion, Lord Narasimha, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu
appeared before him in five different forms as Jwala, Yogananda, Gandabherunda,
Ugra and Lakshminarasimha. They later manifested themselves into finely
sculpted forms that later came to be worshiped as Pancha Narasimha Kshetram.
There are Purana
and traditional accounts of this Shrine, which are widely popular among the
devotees. There is mention about the origin of this temple in the Skanda
Purana, one of the famous 18 puranas
Another Legend
also has it that Sriman Narayana, pleased with YadaRushi penance, sent Sri
Anjaneya to direct the rishi to a holy spot, where the Lord appeared to him in
the form of Sri LakshmiNarasimha. This spot is marked by a temple located at
the foot of the Yadagiri hillock, and is located about 500 meters from the
present temple. There the sage worshiped the Lord for many years.
After Yadarishi
attained moksha, a number of tribals, Knowing of the Lord's presence, came to
worship Him at this temple. But, not being very learned, these devotees began
to engage in improper worship. Because of this, Sri LakshmiNarasimha moved into
to the hills. The tribals searched for many years to find their Lord, to no
avail.
After many years
had passed, the Lord appeared in the dream of a devout lady among the tribe,
directing her to a large cavern wherein He revealed Himself to all as five
majestic Avatars.The Aradhanam and Puja in this temple are performed according
to Pancharatra Agamam. The puja vidhanam (Worship procedure) was set by Late
Sri Vangeepuram Narasimhacharyulu who composed Yadagiri Suprabhatam, Prapatti,
Stotram, Mangalashasanam and served as Sthanacharya of this temple.

Kshetram" or the place of worship for sages.
As the belief goes, Lord Narasimha has taken on the role of a
"doctor" and is known as "Vaidya Narasimha" by his devotees
at this shrine to cure many chronic diseases and the role of a 'do gooder' to
those who are under the influence of bad planets, witch

them with good health. Many devotees tell of vivid dreams in which the Lord
