He is primarly known as "Great Protector" who specially defends and protects his devotee's at the times of their need.

History of His Manifestation.

====================

In the previous Avatar of Vishnu, The Varaha kills Hiranyaksha. Being the brother of his, Hiranyakashipu was very angry and wanted revenge against Lord Vishnu and his followers.

He decides that he has to Kill Lord Vishnu and for that he has to gain mystical powers and be master of the 3 world - Heaven , Earth & Pathala.

He then went to Mount Mandarachala and he began to pray to Lord Brahma for many years with great austerity and penance. Brahma pleased with his austerity , appeared and offers him a boon that he will make true of any wished that Hiranyakashipu wishes for. Hearing this Hiranyakashipu requested for immortality as his boon but Brahma rejected this by saying that "All living things must face death,Hiranyakashipu. However you can choose your death wish".

Hiranyakashipu thought hard and wanted to figure a way on how to get his immortality wish.

Thus he began to ask the following :-

"Please let me not meet death from any of the living entities created by you, that i would not die within any residence or outside of any residence, during day time nor night time, on the ground or in the sky.My Death not be brought about by any weapon, nor any human being or animal.I shall not be killied by any demi gods, demons or snakes from the lower planets. "

Brahma Granted his wishes and Hiranyakashipu was so happy that he thought that he has go this immortality wish.

During the period of his austerity and penance, his home was attacked by Indra and other devas.Kayadu the wife of Hiranyakashipu was saved by Sage Narada stating that she was sinless and such must not be killed. He takes her away and into his care and while in his care, he stated to teach the unborn child of Kayadu the teachings of Vishnu. Even at that stage the child became affected by the transcendental instructions of the Sage.

Upon returning from Mount Mandarachala, Hiranyakashipu was pleased with Sage Narada for saving his wife and his unborn child, thus become close friends with the sage and made him into a trusting friend. Once Prahlada was born , he allowed sage Narada to continue to educate his son.

Hiranyakashipu however has started to terrorize the earth, killing and conquering the worlds. He banned all pooja's for Lord Vishnu and declared himself as God. All the devas approached Lord Vishnu for his help, he told them to be patient as prahlada was his devotee and only when Hiranyakashipu seeks to kill prahlada that he shall come forward and kill Hiranyakashipu.

Meanwhile with Sage Narada's teachings, Prahalda began to grow up and became an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu much to the annoyance of Hiranyakashipu. As he grew older, Hiranyakashipu who wishes his son to become the King of Asura's , sent him to Shanku and Amarka the sons of Shukracharya one of his ardent devotee to transform him. However this effort failed as its was Prahlada who started to teach and change the other boys at the school to be a devotee of Vishnu instead of his Father.

After all efforts of changing Prahlada failed, Hiranyakashipu was very angry and seeked advise from Sage Narada. Knowing that the only way that Lord Vishnu will ever emerge to kill Hiranyakashipu is when Prahlada is in danger, Sage Narada advised Hiranyakashipu that the only way to stop Prahlada from spoiling the other kids and people who now has slowly began to embrace Lord Vishnu instead of Him, was to killing him.

Hiranyakashipu then ordered his warriors to take Prahlada away and kill him. However all the four attempts of killing young Prahlada failed due to Lord Vishnu's saved him at all times.The four attempts were throwing him down a mountain, drowning him, poisioning him and drowning him.

Hearing of their failure to kill him, in anger he summoned young Prahlada to be brought to his courtyard in the evening to be questioned. To the question, if he now accepts Him to be the Supreme Lord of the Universe , Prahlada said nope and mentioned that the Supreme Lord was Vishnu. Hiranyakashipu was furious and asked Prahlada " Is my Enemy whom you worship is anywhere around here" ? Prahlada replied " Yes, He is Omnipresent, There is not a single place that he is not found". Hiranya now was very angry and asked his warriors to heat up a pillar in the courtyard. The Hiranyakashipu asked Prahlada ," if your Lord Vishnu was in the pillar which i have heated up, can you go and embrace the pillar"? Without replying and hesitation, Prahlada ran and hugged and embraced the pillar. Hiranyakashipu was surprised as the pillar did not burn Prahlada. In his utmost anger, he raised from his throne and swiped his Mace and hit the pillar as hard as he can which made a thunderous sound.

To his suprise, the pillar started to crack open and from it, came Lord Narasimha.In form of Half Man - Half Lion. His eyes were big and the nails from his claws were long and sharp. He had a thick moustache on his face. Hiranyakashipu attacked and hit the Lord with his Mace. Lord Narashima just brushed the Mace off.

Hiranyakashipu began to remember his boon, (1) not killed by someone that was created by Lord Bharma, not animal or not human; Narasimha was not created by Brahma and he was neither an human or an animal , (2) Not during the day or night or in the residence or outside of the residence; it was twilight as such it was neither day or night and the place was a courtyard which was neither inside of the house or outside of the house.

The Lord Narasimha caught Hiranyakashipu, carried him to the threeshold of the courtyard and placed him on his lap (3) which was neither in the sky or on the ground, with his sharp nails tore open the body of Hiranyakashipu and killing him. (4) no weapons. After killing Hiranayakashipu, Lord Narasimha's rage did not subdue, he is very furious and angry, all the demigods could not bring down his rage, Lord Brahma appeared and tried to cool him down but was not succesful, seeign this Lord Shiva came down and even he could not pacify Lord Narasimha , seeing this Lord Shiva summoed for Goddess Lakshmi to come and pacify but she was not succesful either. At last only when Prahlada was sent infront of him and told to touch his feet, he was pacified. He blessed Prahlada and made him the King.

After she goes, the Saint while looking after the baby boy went into a deep meditation. Sita returns only to find that the Saint was in deep meditation and did not want to disturb him to tell that she is taking the baby boy back.

When the Saint is out of the meditation, he was surprised to see that the cradle was empty and did not know where the baby boy has gone. Fearing for the child has gone missing, He placed some holy grass (Dherbai Grass) and said a mantra to turn the grass into a baby boy.

Soon after, he found out that Sita has actually already taken the baby boy from the cradle while he was in meditation. Not knowing what to do he gave the child to Sita and asked her to bring him up as her own child as well.

When Lord Rama returned to Sita. He was surprised to see 2 boys instead of one. Sensing something is not right, he set a test to know who was his actual heir was. He set a fire and asked the 2 boys to cross it and he said that whoever is his actual son will not be burned by the fire.

One full Moon, while he was looking up at the sky, he saw a monkey was flying with a mountain on his hand. As the monkey was flying across the land, Karupasamy took out his bow and arrow and shot down then monkey. Coming to the fallen monkey, he saw that the monkay was covered with jewellery looking like a King. As the monkey got up, he asked the monkey who he was and why he flying across his land. 

The Monkey told him that he has Hanuman and he was a great worshipper of Lord Rama. When asked why Hanuman was flying with the mountain, he replied that in the moutain there is a tree with leaf that Laksman (Lord Rama's Brother) must eat so he could be cured. 

Pressing for time, Hanuman suddenly shouted to Karupasamy to move away so that he could continue with his journey and pushed Karupasamy aside and moved to pick up the mountain.

Feeling threathen he pushed back the mountain from Hanuman's hand as Hanuman tried to pick it up. Hanuman in angry voice shouted at Karupasamy to move aside but Karupasamy showed no sign of fear just stood infront of the mountain. Hanuman was very angry and asked why Karupasamy is doing this, he replied that he is doing nothing but protecting his home and the surroundings. 

Not listening to Karupasamy, Hanuman took out his mukhdhar in anger and 

seeing this Karupasamy also pulled out his mukhdar and a great fight between them ensued.
