Lord Narasimha has a special place in the life of Sri Adi Shankaracharya as is evident from the Madhaviya Shankara Digvijaya. Fittingly, the Narasimha Jayanti fell on May 26th this year during the Centenary Celebrations at Kalady. Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji offered special worship in the afternoon to Lord Narasimha at the Kshetram.
