Swamy is a great Guru, and he can also be treated as a Demi-god,
since he is the incarnation of Lord Shankukarna, the Divine Attendant
of Lord Brahma. But some of the devotees would call him as
“KADAVULE”, “BHAGAVANE”, god, due to their
staunch bhakti on him. As per the Madhwa Philosophy, Raghavendra
Swamy must be considered only as a Guru, but, based on the
significance of his previous avatars we can also consider him to be
the Chief most demi-god, similar to the Prajapatis, Lord Daksha
Bhagavan and Lord Manu.
Most
of his devotees believe him to be an incar..

INTRODUCTIONWe
can keep on telling about the significance of Lord Narasimha, day and
night and for all the 365 days in a year. The Meaning for the word
Narasimha is half lion with human body. Since Lord Narasimha had

afraid to worship him. But, the main purpose of the Narasimha avatar
