Significance of “Maha Sudharsana Japa/ Yagna “

The Sudarshana Chakram is the mighty weapon of Shri Narayana and has many auspicious attributes associated with it. Most importantly, it has the attribute of “Pida Pradanam” which gives relief from pain and sufferering to the seeker/performer.
The Sudarshana Chakram also has the attribute of “Papa Nashanam”,

 i.e., the destruction of sins. This is the first step to be adopted in the realization of God (Shri Narayana).

The Sudarshana Chakram has healing characteristics. Therefore performance of the Sudarshana Homam gives relief froma afflictions of fever and even possession by the mighty Brahma Rakshasa. A legend has it that Swami Desikan composed the Sudarshana Astakam to help the people of a village stricken by the plague epidemic. As soon as Swami Desikan finished his composition, the epidemic was over.
In conclusion, the performance of the Sudarshana Homam grants the performer health, wealth and prosperity. If the performer seeks spiritual benefits, while performing the Homam, he gets it. If the person seeks material benefit, he is blessed with all riches upon conclusion of the Homam.

“Om Klem Krishnaya Govindaya Gopijana Vallabhaya
Paraya Parama Purushaya Paramatmane

Om Namo Bhagavate Maha Sudarshanaya depthrae

“Then the goddess of learning Sarasvatī, the divine consort of the Supreme Lord, said thus to Brahmā who saw nothing but gloom in all directions, “O Brahmā, this mantra, viz., klīṁ kṛṣṇāya govindāya gopī-jana-vallabhāya svāhā, will assuredly fulfill your heart’s desire.” – Brahma-saṁhitā 5:24

‘Om Ugram, Viram, Maha-Vishnum,
Jwalantam, Sarvato Mukam,
Nirshimham, Bhishanam, Bhadram,
Mrityor-Mrityur namam yaham.’

“O’ Angry and brave Maha-Vishnu, your heat and fire permeate everywhere. O Shri Narasimha, you are everywhere. You are the death of death and I surrender to You.”

(iii) Narasimha Gayatri (to increase our ability to help others):
