PRAHLADA

Hiranyakasipu gave him poison to drink. He threw him into the sea. He rolled him down a mountain.

Yet no harm came to Prahlada.

God saved Prahlada.

So Prahlada kept on repeating God’s name.

Hiranyakasipu at last asked Prahlada, "Where is your God?"

Prahlada said, "God is everywhere!"

Then his father said to him’." Show me your God here if you dare! If he is in this pillar let him come out, and kicked hard at the pillar.

The pillar cracked. Out leapt God from it in a terrible form with the head, claws and teeth of a lion, and the body of a man-Narasimha.

God picked up Hiranyakasipu, placed him on his lap, and tore open his belly. Hiranyakasipu died.

God blessed Prahlada for his firm faith in Him.
