I’ve received this compliment several times in my life. Bhakta Prahlad was a mythological figure whose story is inspirational. He opposed his father and chose virtue.
Going against your father is not an easy thing to do. Especially if your father is the king. An evil king. And especially if you are a small boy.
When Prahlad was in his mother’s womb, Sage Narada taught the fetus to pray to Lord Vishnu. After he was born, Prahlad became a staunch devotee of Lord Vishnu. There was only one fly in the ointment: Prahalad’s father, the evil king Hiranyakashipu hated Lord Vishnu.
Hiranyakashipu asked his entire kingdom to worship him. When he sent Prahlad to school, Prahlad refused to worship Hiranyakashipu and instead instructed his fellow students to worship Lord Vishnu.
