Fearless Prince
From the ancient Vedic scriptures of India comes the famous epic of Prince Prahlad.
In a previous era - long, long ago - there was an evil monarch named Hiranya-kashipu, who succeeded in seizing control of the entire universe. He was extremely cruel, and due to his darkened heart he made life impossible for everyone - from animals to demigods. Only his son Prahlad, who was always absorbed in meditating on the Lord, remained undisturbed by his father's reign of terror. Seeing the boy's natural predilection for spiritual life, and thus taking him as an archenemy, he tried to kill his own child, but was unsuccessful every time.
Through his resolute faith and constant meditation, the young prince conquered fear and remained untouched by death. By following Prahlads's teachings, one can become fearless pure devotee of the Lord.

El Príncipe Prahlad
La historia del joven príncipe Prahlad es un famoso relato épico extraído de las antiguas escrituras védicas de la India.
En una era anterior —hace muchos miles de años— habitó el mundo un malvado rey que había logrado conquistar el universo entero y cuya cruel naturaleza había hecho que todas las criaturas, desde los animales hasta los semidioses, vivieran en un constante temor. Solo su hijo Prahlad, que estaba siempre meditando en el Señor, permanecía inalterado ante las iniquidades de su padre. Viendo la inclinación de su hijo por la vida espiritual, el rey intentó matarle en multitud de ocasiones, pero todos sus esfuerzos resultaron vanos.
Gracias a su fe y a su constante meditación en el Señor, ni el temor ni la muerte pudieron acercarse nunca al joven príncipe.
