27 May Śrī Śrī Prahlāda-Nṛsiṁhadeva 3D Project!
It’s been another exciting month here at our little studio. We’ve continued learning and practicing new CGI skills, but, more importantly, working on a project for our favorite festival – the appearance of Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva! This project has turned out way too large to fit in a single post or two though!

“Prahlāda Mahārāja was the best among exalted devotees. Anyone who with great attention hears this narration concerning the activities of Prahlāda Mahārāja, the killing of Hiraṇyakaśipu, and the activities of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Nṛsiṁhadeva, surely reaches the spiritual world, where there is no anxiety.“
Śrīmad Bhāgavatam Canto 7 Chapter 10 Prahlāda, the Best Among Exalted Devotees, verse 47, from Vedabase.io
Prahlāda Mahārāja approaches the lotus feet of Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva
“Although I was born in a demoniac family, I may without a doubt offer prayers to the Lord with full endeavor, as far as my intelligence allows. Anyone who has been forced by ignorance to enter the material world may be purified of material life if he offers prayers to the Lord and hears the Lord’s glories.”

The Supreme Personality of Godhead in His form as half-man, half-lion
“The Supreme Lord, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is always fully satisfied in Himself. Therefore when something is offered to Him, the offering, by the Lord’s mercy, is for the benefit of the devotee, for the Lord does not need service from anyone. To give an example, if one’s face is decorated, the reflection of one’s face in a mirror is also seen to be decorated.“

First of our final renders, shared here, started emerging at the dusk on the auspicious day of Lord Nrsimhadeva’s advent! But it is just the beginning, so stay tuned in for more! Other 3d illustrations and little animations glorifying the Man-Lion incarnation and His pure devotee Bhakta Prahlada are well on their way! Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to not miss anything ????
Prahlāda Mahārāja prays to Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva
“Unlike an ordinary living entity, my Lord, You do not discriminate between friends and enemies, the favorable and the unfavorable, because for You there is no conception of higher and lower. Nonetheless, You offer Your benedictions according to the level of one’s service, exactly as a desire tree delivers fruits according to one’s desires and makes no distinction between the lower and the higher.“
