In the Hari-bhakti-sudhodaya it is stated that Prahlada Maharaj, a great devotee of the Lord, prayed to Nrsimhadeva (the half-lion half-man incarnation)‎ diffhist +10‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

06:01

In his prayer to the Lord, Prahlada Maharaja said that he was not personally interested in liberation from this material world; rather, he did not wish to be liberated from this material condition until all fallen souls were delivered‎ diffhist +10‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

He (Prahlada Maharaja) prays to the Lord that all of us fallen souls in this material world may, by the grace of the Lord, engage in the service of His servant and thus be delivered‎ diffhist +32‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

He (Prahlada Maharaja) did not ask any benediction that he might have asked, but he prayed that his atheistic father might be liberated. He never cursed any of the persons who engaged in torturing him at the instigation of his father‎ diffhist +11‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

From the prayers of Prahlada Maharaja, we understand that He (Lord Visnu) appears garbed as a devotee in Kali-yuga. Lord Caitanya is that devotee‎ diffhist +10‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

06:01

Because he (Prahlada Maharaja) was engaged in service, he felt transcendentally situated, and naturally his mind and attention became saturated in transcendence. In that condition, he began to offer his prayers‎ diffhist +10‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

06:01

Although Prahlada Maharaja was a pure, exalted Vaisnava, he thought himself most unqualified to offer prayers to the Supreme Lord. Mahajano yena gatah sa panthah (CC Madhya 17.186). Every pure Vaisnava should think like this‎ diffhist +32‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

Although he (Prahlada Maharaja) did not ask anything for his personal self, but he asked the Lord, prayed that, "One thing I request." - What is that‎ diffhist +10‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:56

Prahlada prayed to Nrsimhadeva, "You are the supreme friend, the supreme worshipable Deity. Your pastimes are transcendental, and simply by hearing of them one can counteract all his sinful activities"‎ diffhist +32‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:56

Prahlada prayed to Nrsimhadeva, "with it (happiness from devotional service) one can have all the other perfections of religiousness, economic development, sense gratification and even the attainment of liberation from material existence"‎ diffhist −11‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

Prahlada prayed to Nrsimhadeva, "I simply pray that my Krsna consciousness may be more strong and steady, because happiness derived out of Krsna consciousness and devotional service is so powerful"‎ diffhist −11‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:55

Prahlada prayed to Nrsimhadeva, "I shall not care for all those sinful activities because simply by hearing about Your pastimes I shall get out of all the contamination of material attachment"‎ diffhist +32‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

When friends would request, "My dear Prahlada, just play. This is tiffin hour," so he said - No, no, no, no. My dear friends, kaumara acaret prajno dharman bhagavatan iha. Immediately. We are now young boys. This is the time to learn‎ diffhist +32‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:50

Whenever he (Prahlada Maharaja) found an opportunity, when the teacher was out of the classroom, he used to say - My dear friends, let's chant Hare Krsna; this is the time to begin Krsna consciousness‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:50

The Supreme Lord is the dearmost object of all living entities. Prahlada Maharaja therefore advised his class friends, the sons of the demons, to take shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead again‎ diffhist +32‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:50

The devotee Prahlada says - My dear friends, this is the time, in this young age, to prosecute Krsna consciousness - SB 7.6‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:50

The bodily symptoms of his (Prahlada's) ecstatic love for the Supreme Personality of Godhead turned the minds of his friends, who had also been born in atheistic families‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:50

They (Prahlada Maharaja's class friends) were all fools, devoid of Krsna consciousness, and therefore he was showing them how to become Krsna conscious. This is the highest mercy‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:49

Reception of spiritual knowledge is never checked by any material condition. Thus Prahlada Maharaja, from his very childhood, spoke spiritual knowledge to his class friends, and certainly it was effective, although all of them were children‎ diffhist +32‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:49

Prahlada says to his demoniac friends, "please give up the company of those who are simply after material enjoyment. Just associate with persons who have taken to Krsna consciousness." That is his advice‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:49

Prahlada Maharaj says, "My dear friends, as soon as pure devotees of Lord Krsna hear of the transcendental pastimes of the Lord, who is the eternal reservoir of pastimes, or hear about His transcendental qualities they become overpowered with jubilation‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:49

Prahlada Maharaja ultimately instructed his class friends, the sons of the demons, to accept the process of devotional service by preaching the science of Krsna consciousness to everyone‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:49

Prahlada Maharaja told his friends, "You have to begin Krsna consciousness immediately." All the boys were born of atheistic, materialistic families, but fortunately they had the association of Prahlada, who was a great devotee of the Lord from his birth‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:49

Prahlada Maharaja taking advantage of the innocence of his class friends, began teaching them about the importance of spiritual life and the insignificance of materialistic life‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:49

Prahlada Maharaja says, "My dear friends, you have got this human form of life after many, many births." The modern civilization, they do not know. The university education, they do not know. The scientist, they do not know‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:49

Prahlada Maharaja requests his demoniac friends to give up this idea that there is no God. If we give up this nonsensical idea, then the Supreme Lord, who is beyond our perception, will be pleased and show His mercy to us‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:49

Prahlada Maharaja offers his blessings to his class friends, saying, "Also become faithful like me. Become bona fide Vaisnavas." A devotee of the Lord desires for everyone to take to Krsna consciousness‎ diffhist +32‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:48

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

05:48

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

05:48

Prahlada Maharaja continued: My dear friends, if you can place your faith in my words, simply by that faith you can also understand transcendental knowledge, just like me, although you are small children‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:48

Prahlada Maharaja advises his friends (SB 7.6.3): My dear friends, material pleasure which is due simply to this material body - is essentially the same in any body. And just as misery comes without our trying for it‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:48

Prahlada Maharaja advised his friends to depend completely on Krsna and worship Him in devotional service‎ diffhist +11‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:48

Prahlada Maharaja, by his living example, requested his friends to engage in devotional service‎ diffhist +32‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:47

Prahlada Maharaja's class friends, who were born of Daitya families, thought that realizing the Absolute was extremely difficult. Indeed, we have experience that many, many people say this very thing‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:47

Prahlada, who was truly the supreme learned person, then addressed his class friends in very sweet language. Smiling, he began to teach them about the uselessness of the materialistic way of life. Being very kind to them, he instructed them as follows‎ 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

05:40

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

05:40

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

05:40

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

05:40

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

05:40

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

05:40

Instead of being disturbed by the torments of his father (Hiranyakasipu), Prahlada influenced these friends and cleansed their minds‎ diffhist +12‎ ManiGopal talk contribs

05:39

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

05:39

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

05:38

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
