SUDAMA

Sudama was ashamed to take out the package of beaten rice. But Krishna saw the bag and pulled it out. Taking a handful from and putting it in his mouth, he said: "How nice of your wife to have sent this to me?" Then he ate two more handfuls.

After spending the day happily at Dwaraka, Sudama took leave of Krishna, and walked back to his village.

He completely forgot to ask for any gift of favour of Krishna.

On the way he as thinking how loyal and generous Krishna had been.

When Sudama reached home, a great miracle waited for him there.

There was a grand palace where his old home had been. Many servants went about doing all kinds of work. His wife stood before him. She wore a costly sari and had golden ornaments on! All his children wore gorgeous clothes. He could not believe his eyes.

Sudama's wife said:"It all happened by the grace of Krishna."

Sudama worshipped Krishna with greater devotion than ever before.
