Couldn’t You Say Prahlada’s Childhood Was Stolen From Him

“For a small boy to give up playing is impossible, but Prahlada Maharaja, being situated in first-class devotional service, was always absorbed in a trance of Krishna consciousness. Just as a materialistic person is always absorbed in thoughts of material gain, a maha-bhagavata like Prahlada Maharaja is always absorbed in thoughts of Krishna.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 7.4.37 Purport)
