| Sudama had no
fine clothes to wear. He was in rags. So people called him 'Kuchela'. It means a man
with torn clothes. One day Sudama's wife said to him:
"Lord! Why don't you meet Krishna? You were at school together. He will surely help
us!"
Sudama had been wanting to see hisfriend Krishna, not for
money, but for the joy of meeting a beloved friend.
When we go to see a baby, a great man or God in a temple we
must not go without gifts. We must take with us some sweets as a token of affection
or respect. Sudama took what his wife could give him-a small package of beaten rice. They
were that poor.
Sudama walked all the way to Dwaraka. When he reached
Krishna's palace, he went in. |
