What is the inner significance of the struggle between Hiranyakashipu and his son Prahalada? Bhagawan lovingly reveals for us today!
Even today’s scientific achievements are nothing compared to the feats of Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha in the Krita-yuga. Hiranyakashipu brought the five elements under his control and investigated the realms of earth, sky, and water. He gloated over his supremacy over the physical world. This pride blinded him to such an extent that he tortured his own son! What was the fruit of all his investigations? Only ego, which made him forget himself, which blurred even ordinary human feelings. Such a man is ready to destroy anyone who stands in the way of his ambitions, even his own family! Finally, only his son could teach him the truth. Prahlada, Hiranyakashipu's son, was dear to Lord Hari. Hiranyakashipu hated Hari. They could not co-exist. In the same way, it appears that science and spirituality cannot co-exist today! But sooner or later, spirituality is bound to open the eyes of science.
