Krishn Balraam Go to Study

Since Krishn's education was not done in Gokul, Vasudev, HIs fathetr, sent him to Saandeepan Muni's Aashram for his education. Thus Naaraayan was there in the form of a human being. It means that He will have to follow all the Karm, Dharm and duties of a human being. He will have to live like a human being, He will have to take favors of some things and disfavor some things, make some friends, give Guru Dakshinaa also. He is the ocean of knowledge, but He is learning flowing from a river.

Guru Maataa (Guru's wife) used to love Krishn very much. She wanted that Krishn should never go from there. She told this to Muni also, but Muni said "This cannot happen. First, He doesn't need any education; second, nobody can keep Him tied with himself. When Yashodaa could not keep Him in Gokul, who are we to keep Him here for ever? You are Guru Maataa, whatever you can give, give Him, but a mother has no right to ask for anything."

Krishn and Sudaamaa

There was a disciple named Sudaamaa in the Gurukul who was a good friend of Krishn. One day Guru sent both Krishn and Sudaamaa to bring some twigs for his worship. When they started for Van, Guru Maataa gave them some rice puffs to eat there. While going to Van Sudaamaa asked Krishn - "I have heard that you used to play flute in Gokul?" Krishn said - "Yes. I used it to gather my cows and calves by playing that." Sudaamaa requested Him - "I also want to listen to it." Krishn said - "No, A person should not look backwards, this causes his mind go astray."

After some time it started raining, and both climbed on two separate trees to protect themselves from rain. It rained for quite long time. Rice puffs were with Sudaamaa. He felt hungry, so he thought that Krishn must have also felt hungry, but how to give rice puffs to Him. If he went there in this rain, the rice puffs will be wet, but he was very hungry. So he started eating them and finished them slowly. When rain stopped, both climbed down the trees. Sudaamaa said sadly- "Krishn, I am sorry, I ate your share of rice puffs also, because I was very hungry." Krishn said - "Don't worry, consider it as lending, so I will take it later." Both came back to Aashram.

Sudaamaa told this event to Guru Jee. Guru Jee got very sad hearing this. He said - "This is very bad. You yourself have closed the doors of the Sun for you. You yourself made Vidhaataa (God) to write poverty in your fate. Now only Vaasudev Krishn can save you, because after doing this wherever you are standing now, even my blessings cannot reach there. But since you have accepted your mistake, I will pray for you that He should forgive you for that."

Sudaamaa asked Krishn scared - "Did you tell all that to Guru Maataa?" Krishn said smilingly - "No, Why should I tell this to her? Remember that Guru Jee said that "a good friend is a boon of Bhagvaan" so why should I tell that only just for a small amount of puffed rice. Friends' matters should be between friends only. I could have not lost a friend like you by telling this to Guru Maataa."
