Prahlad: The Boy Who Chose Virtue Over His Father

<p>I&rsquo;ve received this compliment several times in my life.&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prahlada" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Bhakta Prahlad</a>&nbsp;was a mythological figure whose story is inspirational. He opposed his father and chose virtue.</p> <p>Going against your father is not an easy thing to do. Especially if your father is the king. An evil king. And especially if you are a small boy.</p> <p>When Prahlad was in his mother&rsquo;s womb, Sage Narada taught the fetus to pray to Lord Vishnu. After he was born, Prahlad became a staunch devotee of Lord Vishnu. There was only one fly in the ointment: Prahalad&rsquo;s father, the evil king Hiranyakashipu hated Lord Vishnu.</p> <p>Hiranyakashipu asked his entire kingdom to worship him. When he sent Prahlad to school, Prahlad refused to worship Hiranyakashipu and instead instructed his fellow students to worship Lord Vishnu.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@prahalad.rajkumar/prahlad-the-boy-who-chose-virtue-over-his-father-a9e3f9a30506"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
