The story of Sudama is described in the Bhagwat Purana, an ancient
scripture of the Hindus. He was a poor Brahmin but a great friend and
devotee of Krishna.Here we see how Krishna helps his friend in more ways
that we could imagine.
Prahlada,
as the Bhagavatha text declares, was rooted in faith in Lord Narayana and
His universal absolute reality. Hence he was in Bliss Ananda
wherever he was and whatever the set of circumstances. The very name
Prahlada has ananda soaked in it. Halada means ananda and prefix
pra means that Ananda which is full. Prahlada means Full Bliss
- a person who is full of ananda. How could he attain that state? He gave
up attachment to his name and form and sought the atma as the only reality
and identified that reality with Narayana.The mythological story of
Prahlad, is described in Vishnu Puran as the fourth incarnation of Vishnu,
Nara-simhavatar and a great devotee of Maha Vishnu.
Hanuman is the monkey deity renowned for
his courage, power and faithful, selfless service.Some
say Hanuman was born as the son of the King and Queen of the Monkeys. To
others, he is the son of Anjana, an female Apsara who had been transformed
into a monkey by a curse, and Vayu, the wind god. It is also said that
from his father Vayu, Hanuman received the ability to fly.A great devotee of Rama ,the seventh avatara of Maha Vishnu,Hanuman
plays a very important
role in the Ramayana.
