Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The story of Prahlada Maharaja and his father, Hiranyakashipu, is one of the most pivotal and perplexing narratives in Vedic history, touching upon themes of power, devotion, and intense familial conflict. This book, 'Why Did Prahlada Have To Be Weird: A Father's Concern About Their Son,' delves into the desperate anxiety of a father who believed his son's spiritual allegiance was a source of weakness and utter humiliation. Hiranyakashipu was no ordinary ruler; he was the leader of the Daitya kingdom who had expanded his influence to the largest possible range, having achieved immense opulence (ai¿varya) and authority. He had successfully performed tremendous austerities, gaining special boons from the creator, Lord Brahma, which made him virtually immune to death from various beings and conditions, placing him atop the world. He saw his opulence and power as the absence of any reason to fear. Yet, despite his success and power, Hiranyakashipu was deeply disturbed. His torment manifested through his paranoia towards his own son, Prahlada. Born into this family of asuras (demons), Prahlada, even at the tender age of five, showed a spontaneous, unwavering devotion (bhakti) to Vishnu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, whom Hiranyakashipu considered his mortal enemy and rival. Prahlada would spend his time writing the names of Vishnu and Krishna on his slate and engaging in glorification (stuti). The father interpreted Prahlada's allegiance to Vishnu as a bad omen and behavior resembling an enemy (dve¿y¿n), believing it was rooted in a lack of intelligence (abuddhayä). This book explores the question: What drives a father, who was highly intelligent and determined enough to please the creator, to see his own son as so vile that he resorted to aggressive, sinful acts, including attempts on the child's life This is a story of a child who refused to conform to a culture of atheism and false opulence, demonstrating that a steady and unwavering vow (dridha-vrata) toward the highest truth is sufficient protection against the most powerful opposition. It examines why Prahlada's devotion made him so 'weird' in his own time, and why that 'weirdness' remains the highest standard of sanity and fulfillment today. …
