How did Prahlad become the follower of God Vishnu?

                                  How did Prahlad become the follower of God Vishnu?

Prahlad , being the son of demon king Hiranyakashipu , was the follower of God Vishnu.  I often wondered  why so? Now here is the reason.
Kayadu is the mother of Prahlad. She is the wife of demon king Hiranya Kashipu. She was the daughter of demon Jambhasur. but when she was pregnant, king of heaven Indra kidnapped her. When he was taking her away forcibly, Saint Narad saw this.
Narad explained Indra the consequences he may face because of this. Then Indra abondoned her there itself, and fled away. Then Narad took Kayadu near his hut on the banks of river Ganges. There he taught Kayadu how to chant God Vishnu's prayers.
Kayadu continued that. As she was pregnant at that time, the effect was on her unborn child. As a result, her child had become the follower of God Vishnu. That child is Prahlad.
