Sri prahlada was the dear son of sri lilavathi and Hiranyakasipu. Even while in his mother ‘s womb, he was initiated into worship of Lord Narayana,by the sage Narada .Ever since birth ,he had been absorbed in the repetition of Lord Hari’s name. He had no thought of this world.Hiranyakasipu, who considered Lord Narayana as his sworn enemy, did not like his son’s behaviour. He sent his son, Prahlada, to the teachers of the demonrace,Chanda and Marka, in the hope of reforming him and educating him to be good and virtuous. Prahlada had no taste for the kind of instruction imparted by his
teachers. He paid no heed to anything other than the meditation on the Lord.He began to teach his fellow -demon pupils the greatness of praying to Lord.
