GOLDEN SPIRITUAL QUOTES OF BHAKTA PRAHALADA

INTRODUCTION

Prahalad was the son of Hiranyakashipu and Kayadhu, and he was the father of Virochana. He was born in the Krita Yuga, and still he is remembered by the people due to his great bhakti on Lord Vishnu. As per legend, it is believed that the Shangu Karna Deva, who was one of the divine attendants of Lord Brahma, had once committed a mistake and as a result, he was cursed by Lord Brahma, and hence he was born in the earth as Prahalada.

After the death of Hiranyakashipu, Prahalada had become the king, and he ruled his kingdom in a prosperous manner. He treated all the people as alike and made them to live in a peaceful manner. He also maintained cordial relationship with the other kings, and as per the instructions of Lord Vamana, he went to the Sutala Loka along with his grandson Bali, and lived there for many years. It is also believed that he again took birth as King Bahlika during the previous Dwapara Yuga, and in this Kali Yuga, he again took birth as the Madhwa Saint, Vyasaraja and as Guru Raghavendra, the great Saint of Mantralayam.
