Prahlāda Mahārāja, five-years-old boy, he was chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. His father did not like. "Why you are chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa?" "Because Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Lord." "Kṛṣṇa is Supreme Lord? I am Supreme Lord. You do not do this." So the boy would not give up. So the father was even prepared to kill a five-year-old boy. The fault was that he was chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. He was given poison. He was thrown into the fire. He was pulled from the hill. He was very powerful king, and whatever he ordered, his servant carried out. But he was saved in all circumstances by Kṛṣṇa.
So this is demonic nature. They will simply try to suppress Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Because these symptoms are there: na śaucaṁ nāpi cācāro na satyaṁ teṣu vidyate (BG 16.7). There is no truthfulness. They do not know what is ultimate truth. Satyaṁ paraṁ dhīmahi (SB 1.1.1). In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam the beginning is, satyaṁ paraṁ dhīmahi. Janmādy asya yataḥ: "The Absolute Truth . . . I am meditating upon the Supreme Truth, Absolute Truth." What is Absolute Truth? Janmādy asya yataḥ: "From whom everything has come into existence, that is Absolute." So what is the nature of that Absolute Truth? Is it a dead body or a living body? There are two things: something dead and something living. So what is the nature of the Absolute Truth? So that is replied, janmādy asya yataḥ anvayād itarataś cārtheṣv abhijñaḥ (SB 1.1.1). Abhijñaḥ means cognizant, living. The Absolute Truth is not dead; it is living. We are pushing forward this theory.
