Description

The God of Yoga Revealed:
Discover how Yoga, in its truest sense, originated from Lord Narasiṁha’s own manifestation. Long before the modern yoga studios of today, it was He who taught Prahlāda Mahārāja the yogic principles that later inspired sages like Patañjali.
Temples Lost in Time:
Take a guided visual journey to some of the most astonishing Yoga Narasiṁha temples scattered across India, from remote mountain shrines to forgotten forest sanctuaries. Each temple holds centuries of devotion — some hidden from the public eye for generations.
Global Iconography:
See how major museums across the world, from London to New York, have made Yoga Narasiṁha idols the centerpiece of their Hindu bronze collections. His posture, meditative yet powerful, captivates not just devotees but art historians and collectors alike.
Sacred Art Then and Now:
Witness the divine through classical and modern interpretations of Yoga Narasiṁha, rendered by renowned artists from India and Nepal. Their depictions breathe new life into His form — from traditional brushwork to bold contemporary visions.
The Teachings of Prahlāda:
The concluding section offers a deeply relevant reflection on Prahlāda Mahārāja, the boy-saint whose devotion shook the universe. His life exemplifies the true spirit of Bhakti and Yoga, and his legacy continues to inspire seekers today.
Voices of Devotion:
Throughout the book, the lives and realizations of historical and contemporary devotees of Lord Narasiṁha are highlighted — saints, sādhus, and practitioners whose lives were transformed by their connection to the God of Yoga.

🖋️ About the Author: Dhruva Gorrick

“My name is Dhruva. Though I’m now a young man, my childhood was anything but typical…”
So begins the remarkable journey of Dhruva Gorrick, a spiritual seeker who was raised in the ashrams of India and America. From an early age, he developed a personal connection with Lord Narasiṁha, lovingly serving His deity form and finding comfort in His protection — just as young Prahlāda did centuries ago.

Driven by this bond, Dhruva set out as a teenager on a daring mission to find and document every Narasiṁha temple he could — trekking through blistering jungles, desert plains, and Himalayan forests. Over 28 years, he uncovered nearly 1,500 temples, each a hidden gem of architectural wonder and sacred resonance.

This book is the second volume in his ambitious trilogy. The first, Narasimha: The Lost Temples, traced the sacred geography of the Lord. This second volume, The God of Yoga, dives deeper into the philosophical and artistic expression of His divine form — revealing a story not just of a deity, but of a timeless spiritual current that still flows powerfully today.
