Similar to Lord Krishna’s Holy Bhagavat Gita, Bhakt Prahalad’s, Prahalada Gita is also considered to be an important one. Prahalada teaches the Gita to his friends who were also studying at the Gurukulam of the great Demon Guru Sri Sukracharya. Prahalada is considered to be an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu, and he is praised for his great bhakti similar to Deva Rishi Narada, Dhuruva and other Bhagavathas. He was born in the Krita Yuga, also known as Satya Yuga to the demon king, Hiranya Kasipu, and later his father was killed by Lord Narasimha, and he was crowned by Lord Brahma himself and became a king of the entire world.
He ruled his kingdom in a proper manner, and done lot of welfare activities for the people, and provided Lord Vishnu’s holy Prasad to his people on a daily basis, and developed the “VISHNU BHAKTI SPIRIT” among the masses. By reading his history and teachings, would definitely cleanse our minds, and remove our miseries and sorrows in our life. He can be compared as a “GEM” among the devotees of Lord Vishnu.
Prahlada advises his friends to avoid the company of bad people, and to surrender under the lotus feet of Lord Narayana, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, because the ultimate goal for devotees is to free themselves from worldly bondages.
