Prahalada Pattabhisheka shabdam | Classical Dance

Prahalada was born to Kayadu and Hiranyakashipu evil daitya king who had been granted a boon that he could not be killed off by anything born from a living womb, neither be killed by a man nor an animal, neither during the day nor at night, neither indoors nor outdoors, neither on land nor in the air nor in water and of no man-made weapon. However, after repeated attempts of filicide by Hiranyakashipu unto Prahlada, Prahlada was finally saved by Lord Narasimha, a prominent avatar of God Vishnu who descended to demonstrate the quality of Divine rage and redemption by killing the demon king.

The word "Narsimha" is derived from the Sanskrit word" Nara" meaning Man and "siṃha" meaning lion. Thus, the Lord took the form of a part man, part lion to kill the Asura. Lord Narasimha, being the transcendental Supreme Personality of Godhead, fulfilled all the proper requirements by which the otherwise nearly-invincible Hiranyakashipu could be killed.

After the death of his father, Prahlada took his father's kingdom and ruled peacefully and virtuously.

The story of Prahlada -

Prahlada while being in his mother's womb—got to hear sweet Narada's chants. He was taught by narada in early childhood. As a result, he was devoted to Vishnu. His father didn't like his spiritual inclination and tried to warn Prahlada. Despite several warnings from his father Hiranyakashipu, Prahlada continued to worship Vishnu  instead. His father then decided to commit filicide and poison Prahlada, but he survived. He then trampled the boy with elephants, but the boy still lived. Then he put Prahlāda in a room with venomous snakes, and they made a bed for him with their bodies.

Prahalada was then thrown from a valley into a river but was saved by Vishnu. Holika, the sister of Hiranyakashipu, was blessed in that she could not be hurt by fire. Hiranyakashipu put Prahlada on the lap of Holika as she sits on a pyre. Prahlāda prayed to Vishnu to keep him safe. Holika then burned to death as Prahlāda is left unscathed. This event is celebrated as the Hindu festival of Holi.
