*HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY*
HELP YOUR FRIEND WITHOUT ASKING AND WITHOUT HURTING HIS SELF RESPECT!
Today let’s remember the friendship of Krishna and Sudama. Sudama deliberately ates shapit/cursed rice/food given by their Gurumaa to save Krishna from the poverty. On the other hand, Krishna returns this favour by multifold prosperity to Sudama.
Its not about making Sudama rich, but the respect and warmth of Krishna towards his childhood friend, that matters.
Krishna reminds us how to receive and greet a friend, how to help him without asking and without his knowledge, thereby protecting his self respect.
Krishna treated Arjuna also as his close sakha/friend more than any other relationship. He guided him throughout the war and made/helped him won the Mahabharata War.
May God bless us with the wisdom to imbibe great qualities of Lord Krishna about friendship with Sudama and Arjuna!
Tathastu! Swasti Siddham! Amen! So Be It!
