Interesting legend about Krishna and Sudama:
Krishna and Sudama were classmates in their childhood, studying together at the ashram of Sage Sandipani.
They shared a deep bond, studying scriptures, playing, and performing various tasks at the gurukula (a traditional school). One notable incident from their childhood involves Sudama sharing his meager food with Krishna, despite being hungry himself. This act of selflessness left a lasting impression on Krishna. As adults, Krishna became the king of Dwarka, while Sudama remained a humble and impoverished Brahmin. Seeing her husband’s struggles, Sudama's wife encouraged him to seek help from Krishna, knowing their strong childhood bond. Reluctant at first due to his humility, Sudama finally agreed and set off to Dwarka with a humble gift—a small pouch of beaten rice (poha), which was all he could afford. Upon reaching Krishna's palace, Sudama was overwhelmed by its grandeur. However, Krishna warmly welcomed him, treating him with the utmost respect and affection.
Krishna’s queen, Rukmini, also participated in the hospitality, washing Sudama's feet and offering him a comfortable place to rest. Hesitant to present his humble offering, Sudama was encouraged by Krishna to share what he had brought.
Krishna accepted the beaten rice with great joy, relishing the simplicity and love with which it was given. He even shared it with Rukmini. After spending some time with Krishna, Sudama left Dwarka without explicitly asking for any help, still cherishing the divine moments he had experienced. Upon returning home, Sudama was astonished to find his modest dwelling transformed into a splendid abode, filled with wealth and prosperity. This miraculous transformation was Krishna's way of silently acknowledging and rewarding Sudama’s unwavering devotion and humility.
