melvin 1 Report post Posted September 2, 2001 When Hiranyakasipu was about to slay Prahlada Maharaja with his sword, in that instant, Nrsimha, appeared before Hiranyakasipu, and took all the latter`s guts with the Former`s sharp nails. Hiranyakasipu was considered the king of the demons, whose son, Prahlada Maharaja, was under the demons care. They taught Prahlad all they knew about demonship but Prahlad refused to learn it because he was a devotee of the Lord. Prahlad took instructions from Srila Narada himself, and never did Prahlad obeyed the in- structions of his demonic-father, Hiranyakasipu. Because the latter couldn`t anymore take Prahlada`s disobedience, Hiranyakasipu de- cided to kill Prahlad using his sword. Hiranyakasipu believed nobody could slay him,no matter what kind of weapon used against him after he obtained some favor from Lord Nataraja. Thus, he became so powerful that other demons as po- werful as him became his allies whom in turn elected Hiranyaka- sipu as their leader and king. Hiranyakasipu however was killed by Nrsimha`s sharp nails, the ul- timate weapon to which the demon king could be killed. It there- fore sent Hiranyakasipu to his early grave when he attempted to kill Prahlada Maharaja, the dear- most devotee of Lord Krishna-Nr- simha. Anyone who hears this narration is assured of going home, back to Godhead. Haribol! All glories to Lord Sri Krishna Chaitanya`s sankirtana movement!
