Narasimha is the fourth avatar of Vishnu — neither fully man nor beast, appearing at twilight to slay the tyrant Hiranyakashipu and protect the boy-devotee Prahlada. He is the divine that breaks every loophole evil tries to hide behind.
"Not by day nor night, not inside nor out, not by man nor animal — and so the Lord became all and none of these."
Fierce yet endlessly protective of the faithful, Narasimha represents courage, justice and the promise that the divine will always defend the innocent. A child named Narasimha carries fearless strength and a guardian's heart.
