India is a great country with its spiritual roots penetrating thousands of years in the historical timeline of this world. Almost all of us have grown up reciting mantras, hearing scriptures, visiting temples and places of worship of multiple religions, participating in kirtans, and not to forget reading up on philosophers, thinkers, and spiritual practitioners.
Spirituality and meditative practices facilitate a deeper connection with oneself leading to more and more discoveries about oneself and the ambient surroundings, external factors, relationships, people, work, and the normal worldly life.
It’s not very uncommon for us to get affected strongly by the surroundings, upheavals, jolts, and distractions in life but if the spiritual beliefs are held high, one can overcome all difficulties in life.
Let’s look at the famous story of Bhakta Prahalad, whose father Hiranya Kashyap considered himself as God, and would kill anyone worshipping any other God. Prahalad was fully devoted to Lord Vishnu, remained committed to his spiritual belief. He survived the fire, and his aunt Holika died as she misused her boon, and later Lord Vishnu appeared as Narasimha Avatar and killed Hiranya Kashyap. The lesson is that despite the imminent fear of his life, Prahalad did not give up his spiritual belief and he came out of the toughest situation concerning his life and death.
