TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Great devotee Shri Prahladji said the above words in praise of GOD.
Shri Prahladji says that though he is totally unworthy and ineligible but he is describing the glory of GOD as per his intellect. Because the effect of singing the glory of GOD is such that it immediately purifies the creature who sings the glory. Therefore sages and saints have always sung the glory of GOD. By singing the glory of GOD devotees have purified themselves. Even Shri Vedji and Scriptures have sung the glory of GOD.
Therefore, a creature must listen to the glory of GOD and if possible then he should also try to sing the glory of GOD as per his intellect.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must listen to the glory of GOD and must also sing the glory of GOD.

Shri Prahladji says that because of devotion he is not afraid of the massive Shree Narsinghji incarnation and His
anger, he is only afraid of being crushed in this worldly cycle.

Because the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD is the only place for shelter for the creatures and it is a provider of salvation too.
Getting a place in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD is the biggest achievement of a devotee. Therefore, a creature must try to please GOD so that he can get a place in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD.

Worldly people run after age, wealth, grandeur and pleasures of senses and waste their human life in these things. Shri Prahladji even denied to enjoy Brahmalok’s age, wealth, grandeur and pleasures of senses. To become the servant of GOD is the biggest achievement for a devotee.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Great devotee Shri Prahladji said the above words in praise of GOD.
Shri Prahladji says that GOD never discriminates between small or big. GOD only goes behind service and worship. He blesses the creatures as per their service. GOD does not see caste highness or lowness. He loves His devotees without any reason. He fulfills the desires of the devotee like Kalpavriksha (A divine tree that fulfills all the desires). To get the blessings of GOD we must serve and worship GOD.
Since there is no distinction of caste and small or big, everyone have access to GOD. But the only condition is that they should engage themselves in service and devotion of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- There is no discrimination in the eyes of GOD and therefore all creatures have a reach to GOD.

GOD upkeeps several realms by taking several incarnations and kills the enemies of this world. GOD protects religion in every era by taking several incarnations. GOD's incarnation is for the welfare of devotees, destruction of wicked and restoration of religion. Whenever there is a loss of religion and the effect of demonic power increases then GOD takes incarnation to protect religion.
Whenever there is a loss of religion and the time of great despair comes, then GOD incarnates to infuse hope and to keep the flame of religion burning.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- At the time of deep disappointment, GOD is the only hope for the world.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Great devotee Shri Prahladji said the above words in praise of GOD.
Shri Prahladji describes here the condition of a creature in this world. Our mind remain immersed in sinful desires. Because of desires and worries, we remain deterred. The tongue pulls us toward the delicious juices. Lust pulls us towards the beautiful lady. Skin pulls us towards the delicate touch. The stomach pulls us towards food. Ears pull us towards melodious music. Nose pulls us towards fragrance. Eyes pull us towards beauty. Sense organs pull us towards desires. Our condition becomes like a man whose many wives drag him towards their bedroom.
The only way to escape from all these is to connect all our senses and desires with GOD, like engaging tongue in accepting the offerings of GOD, ears in listening to the narration of GOD, eyes in the visualization of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must engage all our senses to visualize and experience GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Great devotee Shri Prahladji said the above words in praise of GOD.
Shri Prahlad says that it is very difficult for the people of the world to cross over this worldly ocean because they are disinclined from GOD and are trapped in sensual desires. For achieving the false pleasure of Maya (illusion) they carry the weight of the world on their head. But Shri Prahladji says that he is not at all in fear of crossing this worldly ocean as his mind is engrossed in GOD. He sings the Holy pastimes of GOD, which is the supreme nectar despising even the nectar of heaven.
A creature must dedicate his mind and body to GOD and undertake the service and devotion of GOD so that he can easily cross the worldly ocean.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- To cross the worldly ocean we must dedicate our mind and body to the service and devotion of GOD.

Shri Prahlad says that air, fire, earth, sky, water, soul, senses, mind, spirit and in the entire world with attributes or without attributes whatever is there it is only GOD. Other than GOD there is nothing in this world. Saints have assumed this entire world as Godly and have visualized GOD in every particle. Shri Prahladji himself visualized GOD in a lifeless pillar and to keep the words of His devotee GOD took the incarnation as Shree Narsinghji and appeared from the lifeless pillar. Whatever we represent from our mind and voice everything is GOD.
Therefore, we must know the art to visualize GOD everywhere and this is only possible after perfecting devotion.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- True devotee visualizes GOD in every particle of the world.

GOD is the fulfiller of all desires of a creature. Other than GOD no one else can fulfill our desires. This world is only a medium but in reality all our desires are only fulfilled by GOD. Therefore those lucky sages who have the desire for their welfare, they try to please GOD with all their power. A devotee keeps his life on the stake to please GOD. The purpose of human life is to please GOD by devotion.
Therefore, a creature must try to please GOD by undertaking the various means of devotion in his lifetime so that his human life can become successful.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Prahladji was an exclusive devotee lover of GOD. Therefore the boons which induced even big people were offered to Shri Prahladji but he was not induced by them and he did not show any interest in those boons.
Though Shri Prahladji was a child but because of his firm devotion, he thought that demanding a boon is an obstacle in GOD's love and devotion. A true devotee never wants anything from GOD, he only wants GOD from GOD. Boons and accomplishments take us away from GOD.
Even if a devotee demands a boon then also he only demands that his devotion should continuously increase. The only desire of a devotee is that his love in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD should increase continuously.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- The only desire of a devotee is that his love and devotion for GOD should continuously increase.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Great Devotee Shri Prahladji said the above words to GOD.
Demanding anything from GOD is an obstacle in the loving devotion of GOD. Therefore a true devotee never demands anything from GOD. GOD tempts the devotee to ask for a boon but a selfless devotee like Shri Prahladji demands nothing. Shri Prahladji says that the servant who wants to fulfill his desire by asking from GOD is not a servant but only a trader doing business. A devotee never redeems devotion by asking for anything. A true devotee only undertakes selfless devotion. The place of selfless devotion is the highest. When we expect something then the effect of devotion is greatly reduced.
Therefore, a creature must undertake selfless devotion of GOD and never desire anything from GOD in lieu of devotion.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must not seek anything from GOD in lieu of devotion.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Great Devotee Shri Prahladji said the above words to GOD.
When GOD asked Shri Prahladji to ask for a boon then Shri Prahladji being selfless did not ask for anything. Shri Prahladji says that even if GOD still wants to give him a boon then he wants such a boon that the seed of desire never germinates in his heart. When our desires and longing are destroyed and we become selfless forever then this is the biggest achievement for a devotee. While walking on the path of devotion we should always pray that we become desireless.
A creature should always undertake selfless devotion and should continuously pray to GOD that the seeds of desire never germinate in his heart.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- A true devotee never lets the seed of desire germinate in his heart.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Narsinghji said the above words to great devotee Shri Prahladji.
When Shri Prahladji did not demand anything from GOD without any desire then GOD made Shri Prahladji the overlord of demons for His own delight and by His own will. Here the devotee does not want to take anything but GOD is giving the kingdom to His devotee by His own wish and for His own delight. In Shri RamCharitManasji also GOD Shree Ramji gave the kingdom of Lanka to Shri Vibhishanji by His own wish and for His own delight, though Shri Vibhishanji has not expressed any interest in it.
GOD has described in this verse that while ruling the kingdom and living between luxuries how can we remain unaffected by it. GOD says to Shri Prahladji that always visualize GOD in your heart and keep listening to the Holy pastime and narrations of GOD which are very dear to devotees. The creature who always holds GOD in his heart and who listens to the Holy pastime and narrations of GOD remains unaffected even in the midst of pleasures.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Living in the luxuries of the world we must be able to undertake selfless devotion of GOD and visualize GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Narsinghji said the above words to great devotee Shri Prahladji.
Shri Prahladji politely prayed to GOD that his father Hiranyakashipu hated GOD then also his father may be acquitted and he may become pure. Then GOD said that the family in which a devotee like Shri Prahladji takes birth, twenty-one generations of that family becomes pure and gets salvation.
Because of devotion, a devotee has so much capability that he can extricate his entire family with himself. Saints describe these words of GOD and say that the family in which a true devotee takes birth, its previous twenty-one generations and next twenty-one generations automatically achieves salvation. Therefore, we must motivate our children that they should become a devotee of GOD by undertaking devotion so that their and their families salvation becomes possible.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- A devotee in a family leads the entire family towards salvation.

Even though Shri Prahladji was not interested but GOD by His own wish and for His own happiness asked him to rule the kingdom. How to rule the kingdom this fact is beautifully rendered here by GOD. GOD says that as per the order of Shri Vedji one should rule religiously. We should engage our heart in GOD and should take the shelter of GOD and should rule by treating it as a service of GOD. In Shri RamCharitManasji also Shri Bharatlalji kept the Shri Charan Paduka (Footwears) of GOD on the throne and ruled the kingdom by becoming His servant.
We should also engage our mind in GOD while performing worldly deeds and should take the shelter of GOD and do our work as service of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- While performing worldly deeds we should remain in the shelter of GOD and keep our mind engaged in GOD and undertake the work as service of GOD.

The Pandavas overcame great adversities with the grace and help of GOD. The Pandavas who were deprived of everything by the Kauravas, obtained the rule of entire world due to their service of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD and they performed great Rajsuya Yajnas. How the grace of GOD works in life can be seen from the life of Pandavas. The Pandavas had lost everything but did not lose GOD and therefore they got everything back.
We too should never lose GOD in life and under any circumstances. If GOD will be with us then we would be able to overcome all adversities.
