Even though the yagnam was fast approaching, we did not have any picture of Sri Ashtamukha Gandabheruda Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy. While on the way to Atlanta, Acharya was listening to Sri Samputita Sri Suktam rendered by Sri Karunamayi Mataji and went into a trance during which the entire procedure for the yagnam was revealed to him. And we came to know that this yagnam was not performed by any one in the history of mankind. Agama pandits in Tirumala and Varanasi were consulted about the procedure, but no information was available. Our Acharya in his meditation received message from Lord Sri Venkateswara that yagnam should be performed to Sri Ashtamukha Gandabheruda Lakshmi Narasimha swamy. In 2007, inspired by Sri Karunamayi Vijayeswari Devi, yagnam to Lord Sri Narasimha Swamy was planned. Due to its out standing success we made yagnams as our annual events and have been performing yagnams since then. On Swamiji’s return visit in 1997 we performed N America’s first yagnam to Lord Sri Venkteswara (Sri Venkateswara Adbhuta Santi Maha Yagnam).
