The kathak recited the life of Prahlada from the Purana. Its substance was as follows: Hiranyakasipu, Prahlada's father, was king of the demons. He bore great malice toward God and put his own son through endless tortures for leading a religious life.
Afflicted by his father, Prahlada prayed to God, "O God, please give my father holy inclinations."
At these words the Master wept. He went into an ecstatic mood. Afterwards he began to talk to the devotees.
MASTER:
"Bhakti is the only essential thing. One obtains love of God by constantly chanting His name and singing His glories."
Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

On June 16th a Kathak narrated Bhaktha Prahlada charitra in Narada Gana Sabha and we all were fortunate to hear along with Sri Muralidhara Swamiji.
This was followed by a discourse on Bhakthi by Sri Muralidhara Swamiji stressing on the importance of Chanting the Divine Names.
