Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Paramatmane parabrahmane namah:


Dear Srinath,

The lord apperaed in such a fierce form , bcoz of
iranyakashiphu's own varams. and also the lord killed
him in such a fiercy way , only to let us know, how
much he cared for his devotees, the lord is known as
shantaswaroopa ,( the one who never gets wild) inspite
of this , he took this specific avataram only to
indicate that he is always and ever on this devotees
side.

more over as the vedas indicate( purnam adah, purnam
idham.......) he is purnam , there is no lack in this
attitudes or guna's. so there is no need to question ,
why the lord had taken to such a fierce form .
