Hare Krishna prabhuji PAMHO 🙏

In Ahobilam Dham, there is a pillar called Ugra Stambha, which Sri Vaishnavas and ISKCON devotees claim to be the exact pillar from which Narsimhadev appeared.

In this article prabhuji you claim that combat took place in Svarg where Hiranyakasipu lived after subduing Indra, which means pillar should've been in Svarg. Now, this seems contradictory. Kindly clarify prabhuji.

Holy places can appear in many places simultaneously, just like many holy places from Vrindavana are also present in Mayapur. Prabhupada concludes that the fight happened in the celestial planets, but this doesn't prevent the holy place of manifesting also on our planet, just like Krsna is simultaneously present there and here.

Hare Krishna prabhuji PAMHO

But Sri Vaisnavas and our ISKCON devotees in camp while taking lecture claim that Narsimhadev appeared from that pillar. Krishna blessing a place to be as divine as his orginal lilasthali (pastime spot) is understandable but exact spot of appearance can be 1 only because in SB it's mentioned that he appeared from 1 pillar only.

Maybe this Ahobilam pillar refers to other yug's Narsimha lila. Is that possible ?

Its getting complicated and difficult to grasp.

Hare Kṛṣṇa prabhu, Jai Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Amazing points to be remembered.

Article says -

"Seventeen of these daughters were married to Kaśyapa Muni, including Diti, who became the mother of Hiraṇyākṣa and Hiraṇyakaśipu."

But in SB 3.14.14 it says 13 daughters -

"Our well-wishing father, Dakṣa, after knowing our intentions, handed over thirteen of his daughters unto you, and since then we have all been faithful."

Can u pls clarify this point prabhuji?

Also regarding Prahlad maharaja living simultaneously in Vaikuntha and Sutala planet, SB 5.18.7 says Prahlada also lives in Hari Varsa of Jambudvipa, so does this mean He's simultaneously existing in three places??

"Thus Prahlāda Mahārāja, along with his servants and all the denizens of Hari-varṣa, worships Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva by chanting the following mantra." (5.18.7 Translation Excerpt)
