Sripad Nama Sankirtan Prabhu then guided the devotees towards Mangal Giri for the darshan of Sri Sri Laxmi Narasimha and Lord Pana Narasimha. Sripad Bhakti Prapanna Tirtha Maharaj was leading the kirtan (download mp3), and in his holy association, devotees were chanting the glories of Sripad Prahlad Maharaj and Lord Narasimha Dev in ecstasy, as they were heading towards Mangal Giri.

Padapita of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu on the way to Pana Narasimha temple established by Srila Bhaktisidhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupada
The devotees took darshan of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's Padapeet (divine lotus feet of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu), which were established by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur prabhupada, to commemorate Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's visit to Pana Narasimha temple during His South India tirtha. An elaborate detail of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's visit to
Upon reaching Pana Narasimha temple, the devotees offered their prayers to Lord Narasimha Dev by chanting and dancing. Sripad Nama sankirtan Prabhu arranged 108 pots of pana (juice prepared from gur (Jaggery, a product which comes from boiling sugar cane juice), karpura, and black pepper) to offer to Lord Narasimha Dev. Lord Narasimha Dev exhibited many divine pastimes at this place. To this day, we can see that when anyone offers a pot of pana to Lord Narasimha Dev, He only takes one half of it and returns the other half as His maha prasad. The priest in the Pana Narasimha temple offered in front of devotees one after another 108 pots of pana by chanting purusha sukta (download mp3) and each time only half the pana will not go in to the mouth of Lord Narasimha Dev from the sankh conch with which the priest offers the pana to Lord Narasimha Deva.

Thus lots of pana mahaprasadam in Pana Narasimha temple got everyone spiritually surcharged to chant more and more the glories of Sripad Prahlad Maharaj and Lord Narasimha Dev under the guidance of Sadhus, Gurudev and Vaisnavas. In the Pana Narasimha temple, devotees met a few engineering students from IIT-Bhubaneswar. The devotees presented them with the teaching of Guru Parampara in scientific language, and they felt very much inspired. They received a lot of association from devotees and also took a few books written by Srila Gurudev.
