PRAs

Pras can refer to multiple uses in culture and language. One prominent usage is as the stage name of Prakazrel Samuel Michel, an American rapper and actor born in 1972. He is best known as a member of the hip hop group the Fugees, which gained international fame in the 1990s, notably with the album The Score. Beyond group work, Pras has pursued solo projects, production work, and appearances in film and television.

In Hindu and related Indian religious practices, pras or prasad denotes food that has been offered to a deity and then distributed to worshippers as a blessed substance. The offering is considered sacred and sharing it is seen as receiving divine blessing. Prasadan can include fruits, sweets, cooked dishes, and other items, and is typically distributed after puja or temple rituals. The practice emphasizes humility, gratitude, and the transmission of blessings among the community.

Other uses of the term vary by context and can include acronyms or shorthand in different fields. Because “pras” lacks a single, universal definition, its meaning is determined by how it is used in a given conversation or text. Overall, the term most commonly appears in reference to the musician Pras, and in religious contexts as a shortened form of prasadam or prasad.
