Prahlada Maharaja now gives his conclusion: My dear friends, because the Supreme Lord is present everywhere and because we are part and parcel of the Supreme Lord, our duty is to be merciful to all living entities‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:48

Prahlada Maharaja himself was born of the demon family. His all class friends are born of demon father. His country was demonic country, his family was demonic, and he became a great devotee‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

Prahlada Maharaja continued: My dear friends born of demoniac families, the happiness perceived with reference to the sense objects by contact with the body can be obtained in any form of life, according to one's past fruitive activities‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:47

When Prahlada Maharaja was a five-year-old boy, he was sent to school. As soon as there was a recreation period, when the teacher was away, he would say to his friends - My dear friends, come on. We shall speak about Krsna consciousness‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:41

Prahlada, although he was a boy, he used to take opportunity for preaching KC among his friends. So in the tiffin hours, when the boys were left free to play, so Prahlada Maharaja used to call them - My dear friends, sit down. Let us talk about KC‎ diffhist +32‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

One can meditate upon the Lord anywhere and everywhere. Thus Prahlada Maharaja advised his friends, the sons of the demons, to take this path back home, back to Godhead, without difficulty‎ diffhist +32‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

My dear friends - Prahlada says, "give up this demoniac life. Give up this nonsense." The belief that there is no God is the demoniac feature that Prahlada Maharaja requests his friends to give up‎ diffhist −10‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

Maharaj Prahlada says, "My dear friends who are born into atheistic families, if you can please the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, then there is nothing more rare in this world"‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:40

In the tiffin hour, when the teachers are gone, he (Prahlada Maharaja) would immediately stand up and preach to his friends - My dear friend, begin Krsna consciousness from this point. Although you are very small boys, still we have to begin here‎ diffhist +10‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

In spite of your destiny, if you try for Krsna consciousness, you can achieve spiritual success. Otherwise, why did Prahlada Maharaja urge his friends, kaumara acaret: Take Krsna consciousness up from your very childhood‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

In speaking to his friends, who were all sons of demons, Prahlada Maharaja stressed that every living entity, especially in human society, must be interested in spiritual realization from the very beginning of life‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

If the class friends of Prahlada Maharaja, the sons of demons, were to accept the truth through Prahlada, they would certainly also become fully aware of transcendental knowledge‎ diffhist +11‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:39

He (Prahlada Maharaja) says to his friends that this Krsna consciousness is easy to attain. Why? Krsna consciousness is actually very dear to us, but we have forgotten it‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:39

He (Prahlada Maharaja) could not get any opportunity in the palace (of his father Hiranyakasipu), so when he was coming to school, at the tiffin hour he would call his small friends, five years old, and he would preach this Bhagavata-dharma‎ diffhist +32‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

By the grace of Prahlada Maharaja, all his class friends, the sons of the demons, became Vaisnavas‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

Asuras generally cannot understand that the objects of sexual pleasure, the so-called pleasure of materialistic life, depend on extremely hard labor. Prahlada Maharaja places this matter to his friends, the asuras, for their consideration‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:38

Are we able to supply clothing and food to all the needy persons of the world? That is not possible. How, then, can we be merciful to every living entity? By giving them KC. That is how Prahlada Maharaja is showing his class friends real mercy‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:38

Although Prahlada Maharaja was born in a family of asuras, he was the greatest of all devotees. Having thus been questioned by his class friends, the sons of the asuras, he remembered the words spoken to him by me and replied to his friends as follows‎ diffhist +10‎ ManiGopal talk contribs
