Kale Narasimha and others from (w)

Rukmini called Sri Krishna Kale Narasimha or Nrisimha as he is ever ready to help the devotee, just as the Lord Narasimha appeared in the Pillar to rescue his bhakta Prahalada. It seems the Lord was waiting to appear. The Narasimha avtara is one of his smallest avtaras. single purpose but how powerful an impact.
Songs such as Kambadinda Vodadu Bandaya Narasimha explains the Lord as ever waiting to be called. In right earnest should be the call in complete surrender and as the only goal or want in life. Is it possible? We are used to saying the call will come or when the call comes. but rather he is waiting for you to call him. When will the maya jeeva be fed up with the worldly pleasures and call out to him, how earnest is the call and how inclined the bhakti.
Kamakshi astakam and Vishnu Sahasranama stotra also give wonderful descriptions of the Lord Narasimha as Paritranaya sadhunam Vinashayacha Dushkrutam etc destruction of evil to protect the righteous. The same lord can be seen as if his hands are competing with each other to destroy the Hiranyakasipu and at the same time have a radiating compassion for Prahalada.
