IN Gujarat there is
a town called Junagadh. In that town lived Narsi Mehta five hundred years ago. He was a
great devotee of God Krishna. He sang bhajans in honour of God.
You have all heard the song "Vaishnava jana to" Narsi wrote
that song.
Narsi was a rich man. But he gave away all his money to the
poor and needy. He him -self became poor thereby.
Manekbai was Narsi's wife. They had a daughter.
N4rsi never cared for money. Nor did be worry about his
daughter's marriage.
Manekbai 'one day said, to Narsi: "Sethji! Our daughter is
old enough to marry. We are poor. Why don't you ask some rich
people for money to marry her off?"
Narsi replied: "Listen to me, my dear. Last night God
Krishna of Dwaraka came to me in my dream. He said, 'Narsi. do not worry about your
daughter's marriage. Send somebody to Dwaraka with a hundi for any amount of money
Address it to Seth Samaldas. He will give you the money, and you can have your daughter
married."
