Srila Prabhupada: “The Supreme Personality of Godhead in His transcendental form of Lord Nrsimhadeva is always ready to kill the demons who always create disturbances in the minds of honest devotees. To spread the Krishna consciousness movement, devotees have to face many dangers and impediments all over the world, but a faithful servant who preaches with great devotion to the Lord must know that Lord Nrsimhadeva is always his protector.” (Srimad Bhagavatam 7.8.51 Purport)
