Vaccines can build your immunity against the coronavirus at the physical level; but truth can boost your immunity at the mental and soul level – the root cause of all diseases, and Bhakt Prahlad reflects this truth practically.

Physical level is only the manifesting plane of diseases.

Why did Prahlad remain unscathed in the fire which engulfed his aunt Holika on whose lap he sat? He was a great devotee of Vishnu – preserver of the whole creation, while his aunt who wanted him killed, had the boon that fire would never harm her.

Prahlad was saved from the fire because he was the epitome of Satya Karm Prem and Prakash. He always uttered truth, even if it meant going against his father’s wishes and annoying him by never acknowledging him as God.

Prahlad’s father Hiranyakashyap was a demon king who thought he was God and should be worshipped thus by everyone. Being a great devotee of Vishnu, Prahlad never gave in or lied to please his father.

 Prahlad was full of prem – love for Prabhu. He always did the karm of seeking the Truth, studied in the gurukul and sought to know the Truth everywhere. He worked on the path of Prakash – light —  he was illumined by the prakash of Prabhu.  The one who realizes who is the most luminous one, who lights the whole world, he knows the Divine. So, the one who is on the path of Truth, true love, true karm, only he can realise the Supreme.

All our Puranic stories are full of such examples, like that of Dhruv and Nachiketa,  who stepped out to seek Supreme Truth, which show that the human can be saved from demons and demonic things, corona or any other deadly thing, and come out unscathed if follows the path of truth. This resurrects the fact that truth is the best immunity booster.
