Holi Story
Hiranyakashyapu was a very powerful devil-king, who thought of himself as the Lord, and hated Lord Vishnu.
But his son Prahlad was a very noble child, who worshipped Lord Vishnu all the time.
The cruel devil Hiranyakashyapu wanted to kill little Prahlad. But failed every time he tried. As Prahlad kept chanting the name of the Lord all the time, the Lord protected him.
One day, Hiranyakashyapu asked his sister Holika, who had the boon to never be burnt, for help. The King asked Holika to sit in the centre of a bonfire with Prahlad on her lap, so that the fire could burn him.
The bonfire was lit, and young Prahlad sat in Holika's lap, in its centre, praying to Lord Vishnu. The Lord saved Prahlad, leaving him untouched by the flames.But Holika was burnt to ashes.
Yeah! GET THAT POWER-
Chant THE NAME that saved Prahlad.
