TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - The King of Ushinar country was killed by the enemies in war. His queens sitting near his corpse were mourning. GOD Shri Yamrajji saw this and came there in the guise of a child and gave the above preach to the queens.

GOD protects us in the womb and also protects us throughout the life. When a child is in the womb then GOD protects him. Just think that no one else has access to the womb other than GOD. Protection is another thing, even no one has an approach till there. GOD protected King Shri Parikshitji from Brahmastra (divine weapon) by entering the womb.

Therefore, we must have faith that GOD who protected us in the womb will also protect us in our life after coming out of the womb.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. It is GOD who protects us in the womb and throughout our life.

Saint of Deities GOD Shri Naradji says that there is no need to listen or tell anything about the qualities of Shri Prahladji for describing his glory. The glory of Shri Prahladji can be told and explained only by one quality i.e. he was an exclusive devotee of GOD. He had natural and innate love towards the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD. For expressing the glory of Shri Prahladji only this much thing is enough.

Devotion of GOD is the best and highest quality of all human qualities, this fact is rendered here.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Great Devotee Shri Prahladji said the above words to his teachers Shand and Amark.

Shri Prahladji says that as the iron is automatically attracted towards the magnet, similarly, because of GOD's will his mind is detached from the world and is attracted automatically towards GOD. These are the symptoms of a true devotee that their mind never gets engaged in the world because GOD is the center of attraction for them. Devotee engages his mind in GOD by diverting it from the world. This is the criterion of devotion that where our mind rests, if it rests in GOD then only we should consider that our devotion is proved.

Therefore, a creature should concentrate his mind on GOD by diverting it from the world.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. We should divert our mind from the world and concentrate it on GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Great devotee Shri Prahladji said the above words to his father Hiranyakashipu when he was asked what his teachers had taught him.

Shri Prahladji gave the representation of Navadha Bhakti (nine types of devotion). There is so much glory of Navadha Bhakti that in all major Scriptures we will find the rendering of Navadha Bhakti. Saints say that from Navadha Bhakti if even one type of devotion is proven then the creature gets salvation. GOD Shree Ramji said the same thing to Bhagawati Shabariji that among the nine types of Navadha Bhakti those who perform even one type of devotion they are very dear to GOD.

Shri Prahladji says here that if someone performs Navadha Bhakti with full dedication towards GOD then he consider it to be the best means to attain GOD.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. If anyone undertakes devotion, he becomes very dear to GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Great devotee Shri Prahladji said the above words to his classmates in Gurukul.

Shri Prahladji says that human life is very rare in this world. But after getting the human life if anyone undertakes devotion then it is possible to attain GOD. But no one knows when our human life may come to an end, so intelligent creatures never leave devotion for young age or old age but they start undertaking the means from childhood to attain GOD.

This is a very true thing that we leave devotion for older age. In old age, our body and memory do not cooperate with us and we are unable to undertake devotion. So we should undertake the path of GOD's devotion right from the childhood then only our human life will be successful.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. We must not leave devotion for older age but devotion must be undertaken since childhood.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Great devotee Shri Prahladji said the above words to his classmates in Gurukul.

Human life is very rare. After wandering in countless species, GOD mercifully gives us human life. After getting this human life taking the shelter of Divine Lotus Feet of GOD is the only success of human life. Here "only" word has special significance. Shri Prahladji says that the only success of human life is to take the shelter of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD. We consider the success of our human life in earning our prestige, money, business, beauty but in the true sense, the success of human life is in the shelter of GOD.

Therefore, a creature should undertake devotion and take the shelter of GOD and make his human life successful.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Great devotee Shri Prahladji said the above words to his classmates in Gurukul.

Shri Prahladji says that the person who is engaged in his own family and wastes his precious life in their upbringing, he destroys the real objective of his human life. The real objective of human life is to attain GOD. We have got this human life for the union of "individual soul" with "Universal Soul". After taking birth as human beings we get trapped in meaningless worldliness and thereby miss our objective of human life.

Therefore, a creature should be alert and aware of his objective of human life so that he can make his life successful by undertaking the devotion of GOD.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. We should identify the real objective of human life which is to attain GOD through devotion.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Great devotee Shri Prahladji said the above words to his classmates in Gurukul.

GOD is the mine of all beauties, sweetness and grandeur. GOD is the only pleasure form, who can be experienced. Illusion has hidden His grandeur. As the illusion is renounced we can visualize GOD and His grandeur. Illusion's work is to keep us away from GOD, therefore, until the illusion is renounced, we cannot experience the pleasure form of GOD.

Therefore, the creature should undertake the devotion of GOD so that he can be free from illusion and can experience the pleasure form of GOD.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. Devotion frees us from illusion and enables us to experience GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Great devotee Shri Prahladji said the above words to his classmates in Gurukul.

Shri Prahladji says that when GOD is pleased there is no such thing that is unachievable. When GOD is pleased our desire is fulfilled before the desire. Before we desire for anything that thing automatically becomes available to us. The second thing Shri Prahladji says that after intake of the nectar of Divine Lotus Feet of GOD and after chanting the name and virtues of GOD there is no necessity for salvation. The result of these means is even bigger than salvation.

Therefore, the creature should please GOD by devotion so that he can achieve ecstasy.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Great devotee Shri Prahladji said the above words to his classmates in Gurukul.

Shri Prahladji says that in the Scriptures religion, wealth and desires are described. In Scriptures, self-knowledge, rituals, logic, punishment policy and various sources of livelihood are described. But if all these things are helpful in surrendering ourselves to GOD then only they are true and meaningful else all of them are meaningless. We should accept this as a principle that if any manhood does not lead us to GOD then it is meaningless.

Therefore, a creature should only hold that means which let him reach before GOD. Only devotion is that means which helps us to surrender ourselves before GOD.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. If any manhood does not take us towards GOD then it is meaningless.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Those who undertake devotion by conquering desire, anger, greed, attachment, pride and envy they achieve an exclusive love in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD as a result of devotion.

There are six enemies who hinder us in union with GOD. These six enemies are desire, anger, greed, attachment, pride and envy. Before conquering them union with GOD is not possible. The best way to conquer them is devotion. As the devotion towards GOD increases inside us, the strength of these enemies will automatically decrease.

Therefore, a creature should undertake devotion of GOD so that exclusive love in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD can arise inside him.

Shri Prahladji says that there is no special hard work involved in undertaking devotion of GOD who is residing in our heart. It is very simple to undertake the devotion of GOD. GOD is the loving friend for every creature and also their soul. It is so foolish to run behind enjoyment materials like wealth, women, son, palace, earth, treasury, honor other than GOD. All these things are evanescent and perishable so they cannot give pleasure to the human being. True ecstasy lies in the devotion of GOD.

Therefore, a creature should divert his mind from the material enjoyment and concentrate it on GOD then only he will be blessed.
