[music playing]
Prince!
Why are you sitting alone here?
Come on, let's play.
Yes, it will be fun.
We will wrestle.
How can wrestling be a game?
To trouble each other
and cause hurt, how can that be fun?
In reality, happiness
is when you worship God
and chant his name.
Oh! You've been sitting here for so long.
Don't you get bored?
I have
Lord Vishnu's company all the time.
[music playing]
So, neither do I feel alone
nor bored.
Who is Vishnu, Prahlad?
Where is he? How can we meet him?
Only your conscience can see him.
Conscience?
Come on, friends. The prince will play alone.
[laughs]
Queen, why do you
look sad today?
I don't know what has happened to our son, King.
[music playing]
He doesn't play with the other kids
or act naughty like them.
He just sits in a place with his eyes closed.
[music playing]
And he has a smile spread across his face.
[music playing]
You're right, Queen.
He doesn't demonstrate pride like the demon clan.
So, there's a problem.
And in my eyes,
there's a way out.
[music playing]
It's time
to educate him.
We have to send him to a residential monastery.
The ambience and discipline
will teach him a lot, Queen.
From an ordinary boy, he will turn into a capable prince.
So soon?
How do I part with my son?
Don't say anything, King.
Responsibility is greater than love.
[music playing]
I understand.
[music playing]
'His parents are so oblivious to his spiritual awareness.'
'This is the time for them'
'to stay close to their son.'
But, they are pushing him away.
[birds chirping]
Praise be to Hiranyakashyap!
Praise be to the ruler of three Lokas.
Welcome, sons of the master!
I have a request.
We are your servants, the powerful Hiranyakashyap!
It is our duty to serve you well.
Command us and we shall obey.
Then teach my son scriptures.
Make him an able administrator.
To guard the demon clan.
It is your responsibility to make him an able prince.
He is born to become the king of all three Lokas.
Teaching him
is our fortune.
We will make him a master of the scriptures.
We will enlighten him with wisdom.
That's when you will be impressed and we shall be honoured.
Where is the prince?
Greet the teachers, Prahlad!
[music playing]
Prahlad, you are going to a residential monastery.
Focus on your education.
Learn and remember all that you're taught.
The Lord says that knowledge is the medium
that wipes out the darkness of ignorance
and progress in the path of spiritual growth.
[music playing]
'This is the speciality of a true devotee.'
'By the power of devotion'
'people in his company also connect with their spiritual side.'
'May you live long, Prahlad!'
[music playing]
Not devotion, Prahlad. Power.
You are not destined to be a mendicant, but a ruler.
You have to conquer three Lokas.
[music playing]
This is the consequence of giving birth in a hermitage.
[music playing]
Didn't you see how spoilt he is?
It's your responsibility to change him.
[music playing]
Make him an able demon prince.
[music playing]
And remember
that if your wisdom changes him, then you shall be rewarded.
If not, you will be punished.
It depends on you.
[music playing]
May there be peace!
May there be peace in this universe!
May there be peace!
May there be peace in this universe!
May there be peace on Earth.
May there be peace in the waters.
May there be peace everywhere!
May there be peace in all divinities.
May there be peace in Brahmin.
May there be peace!
[music playing]
[laughs]
Wonderful!
Unbelievable! Beyond my imagination!
Do you know the meaning, Prahlad?
Yes, Teacher.
The devotee prays and asks for
peace everywhere.
In all three Lokas, water, land
sky, universe,
fire, and wind
and all trees and plants too.
In the entire universe
and in our conscience too.
May there be peace in every village, city,
and house.
In our body and mind
and in every atom of this universe
may there be peace.
This peace mantra
when chanted with utmost devotion
makes Lord Vishnu
give us a peaceful life.
And we are rid of our sorrows.
You're right, Prahlad.
But, there's a mistake.
Our Lord is not Vishnu.
Hiranyakashyap is our Lord.
[music playing]
The king is my father.
But Lord Vishnu is God.
[music playing]
'Lord, this child is so unbiased.'
'A demon's son is so enlightened.'
'How come, Lord?'
'This is the wheel of time.'
'Like days follow nights,'
'in the demon clan, after Hiranyakashyap'
'there is a ray of light born.'
'He is my favourite devotee, Prahlad.'
[music playing]
We are your teachers.
It is your duty to learn from us.
Om!
Salutations to
Hiranyakashyap.
Salutations to Lord Vishnu!
[laughs]
Hey, keep quiet!
You're not following us.
Let's try once again.
Om!
Salutations to...
Hiranyakashyap.
Lord Vishnu.
Prahlad is going against your knowledge.
Were you asked?
Keep your mouth shut.
Else, I will beat you up.
Prahlad is making the mistake, yet you're scolding us.
Fool!
Is your father the king?
[laughs]
Won't you keep quiet? Do I have to thrash you?
[music playing]
Prahlad, it's better to accept the truth.
King Hiranyakashyap is the Lord. He is your father.
Teacher, I have accepted the truth.
Now, you accept it too.
Lord Vishnu is God.
He is the father of this creation.
You're being adamant. Have you met Lord Vishnu?
You can't see him.
You can only experience him.
He is omnipresent.
He protects everyone.
- Brother! - Yes.
If he continues to worship Hiranyakashyap's enemy
- then who will protect us? - Yes.
Prahlad, you're disrespecting your teachers.
Teachers are life guides.
I can't even imagine disrespecting you.
Then why don't you accept that your father is to be worshipped?
He is the most powerful.
There is no doubt that
I worship my father.
He is the most powerful.
But, it is not true that he is God.
The distinction between truth and false is not subjected to age
or position.
Truth always unfolds itself.
Did you see it?
The Prince shut the teacher up.
[laughs]
Hey, memorise your lessons. We will be back!
[music playing]
- Brother. - Hmm.
I don't understand how to convince him.
How do we teach him? He's the prince.
We can't punish him.
But if we don't teach him, we will be punished.
King Hiranyakashyap won't spare us.
[music playing]
[conch blows]
Prahlad, how do you know the scriptures so well?
The credit doesn't go to me.
When I was in my mother's womb
I heard Lord Vishnu's story
and the scriptures are not difficult.
Who is Vishnu?
He is the father of this creation.
He is our preserver.
Who is his father?
He is immortal.
The one who is never born
will never die.
But your father is also immortal.
My father has a boon that is
close to immortality.
But, he is not immortal.
If you're born, you have to die.
That's the rule of nature.
Then, truly
Lord Vishnu is the greatest.
But where does Vishnu live?
He lives everywhere.
In every atom of this creation, he resides.
In you, me
flower, stone, earth
water, sky,
and everywhere, he is present.
But I can't see him.
How are you able to see him?
To be able to see him
you have to adopt the path of devotion.
You will soon start experiencing his presence after that.
When you worship him
you will be rid of all your worries.
Fear will be extinguished.
You will have a smile on your face
and in your heart, you shall find peace.
It feels so great to hear this.
If you experience it, you will feel better.
Why don't all of you try with me?
Close your eyes.
Praise be to Lord Vishnu!
'Now I understand why'
'he is your favourite devotee.'
'Because a selfless devotee like him'
'can captivate anyone.'
'Even if it's God.'
Praise be to Lord Vishnu!
[thundering]
What happened, Goddess?
Why do you have tears in your eyes?
Hearing your devotees chant your name
moves me so much that
I can't express it in words.
[music playing]
Since Hiranyakashyap banned your worship
and reinstated his worship
on Earth
I have been yearning to hear your name being chanted.
[music playing]
And when these children chant
your name, it sounds melodious.
You're right, Goddess.
As immaculate as their hearts
is their devotion.
They are not worshipping me in the desire of a boon.
That's why, their devotion is special.
But, Lord.
When Hiranyakashyap finds out, what shall happen?
[music playing]
'I know, Lord'
'that if Prahlad is in danger'
'then nobody can save Hiranyakashyap from your wrath.'
'You're right, Goddess.'
'But I'm afraid that'
'I will be able to save Prahlad'
'but who will save the planet from the consequence of my wrath?'
Praise be to Lord Vishnu!
