Prahlada Maharaju Divyopadeshalu (Telugu)
- 1. Transcendental Teachings of Prahlad Maharaj
Prahlada Maharaja was the son of the most atheistic and the most materially powerful person - Hiranyakashipu. Because the society was materialistic, he had no opportunity to glorify the Supreme Lord. Prahlada Maharaja, a five-year-old boy, had to undergo a great deal of suffering at the hands of his father, Hiranyakashipu, a demon who was torturing him for being a devotee. The boy was trampled by elephants, thrown from a mountain, placed in boiling oil and thrown into a snake pit, yet he was silent during this whole ordeal.
Prahlada Maharaja said: "My Lord, I am not suffering, for I know the art of being happy." How is this? "Simply by hearing about You and chanting about You I am happy." This is the business of a devotee - hearing and chanting about the Lord. This is sravanam kirtanam visnoh smaranam.
