Re: Lord Narasimha

Dear Srinath,
 
 I have heard from Vainkuta vaasi Mukkur SriLakshmi Narashimacharya,
that  the Lord tears open Hiranyakasipu to see whether he has some
love/intention to surrender towards the Lords hidden in some corner of
his heart. Though the Lord knows hiranyakasipu doesn't He is showing
us that He always gives us a chance before punishing. Hence this act
of His even more establishes His Kaarunyam.

about the story of  Lord Narasimha, he was asking how can a GOD be so
barbaric in removing and wearing the liver of dead iranyakasibu. He
was telling that Lord Rama asked to perform last rites to vali and
Ravana after their death but why narasimha alone who is also a avatar
of lord vishnu can do this to a dead person. I could not answer him.
Can any learned member help me?
