Krishna aur Sudama ki Kahani
Krishna aur Sudama ki Kahani (Akshaya Tritiya Kahani)
Ek baar Sudama, jo ek gareeb Brahman the, apne bachpan ke mitr Bhagwan Krishna se milne Dwaraka gaye.
Unke paas dene ke liye kuch khaas nahi tha, isliye unhone chiwda (poha) ki ek chhoti si potli le li — jo Krishna ka pasandida bhojan tha.
Jab Sudama pahunche, to Krishna ne unhein bade prem se gale lagaya, unke pair dhoye aur unhein raajkiya samman diya.
Sudama apni potli chhupane ki koshish kar rahe the, lekin Krishna ne use lekar khushi se kha liya.
Sudama ne kuch nahi maanga, lekin Krishna ne unki gareebi door kar di.
Jab Sudama apne ghar lautey, to unka jhopda ek sundar mahal ban chuka tha aur unka parivaar khushhaal tha. Yeh sab Krishna ki kripa aur mitrata ka chamatkar tha.
Yeh kahani Akshaya Tritiya se judi hai kyunki yeh sikhati hai ki sachcha prem, vinamrata aur bhakti kabhi vyarth nahi jaati — aur uska phal "Akshaya", yaani kabhi khatam na hone wala, hota hai.
Krishna and Sudama
Once, Sudama, a poor Brahmin, went to meet his childhood friend, Lord Krishna, who was now the king of Dwaraka. He took a humble gift — a small pouch of flattened rice (poha), Krishna's favorite. Though Sudama was embarrassed, Krishna welcomed him with joy, washed his feet, and treated him with love.
Krishna ate the poha happily and didn’t let Sudama feel poor for even a moment. Though Sudama didn’t ask for anything, Krishna blessed him.
When Sudama returned home, his small hut had turned into a palace. His family was happy and rich — a gift of Krishna’s love.
This story is linked to Akshaya Tritiya because it shows how love, humility, and pure intentions bring blessings that never end — just like the meaning of "Akshaya" (never diminishing).
