Today is Sri Nrsinga-caturdasi. Therefore, Prabhuji started reading from the seventh canto of Srimad Bhagavatam that explains the appearance of Lord Nrsinghadeva and the glories of His dear devotee, Sri Prahlada Maharaja.
In the council of Yudhisthira Maharaja, when a fire sacrifice was being performed, Krsna took His cakra and cut off the head of Sisupala. A light came from Sisupala's body and merged into the lotus feet of Krsna. Yudhisthira Maharaja thought, "Oh, how wonderful this is! How did he merge into Krsna? So many rsis are performing severe austerities, day and night, not sleeping, standing on their toes, sometimes even standing upside down on their thumbs, not taking any water, and not even breathing air. Still, doing this for a very long time, they cannot attain liberation. But in a moment Sisupala achieved this. How wonderful this is!"
Narada Rsi then told the King the history of Jaya-Vijaya and the Four Kumaras. And then, he spoke of the history of Prahlada Maharaja and his father, Hiranyakasipu.
