The Divine Legend – Shabari’s Devotion Beyond Boundaries
Shabari, a tribal woman and disciple of Sage Matanga, lived in a forest hermitage near the Pampa lake. She spent her life in anticipation of meeting Lord Rama, as foretold by her guru. Despite her old age and humble background, she maintained her hut, swept the path daily, and waited with unwavering faith. One day, Lord Rama, along with Lakshmana, arrived at her abode. Overwhelmed, Shabari welcomed them with utmost love. She offered wild berries she had carefully picked, tasting each one to ensure its sweetness for her Lord. While others might have scorned this act as improper, Rama joyfully accepted the fruits, moved by her devotion. This sacred moment represents the ultimate truth of bhakti—that God accepts the heart more than the form. The golu doll of this episode captures not just a scene but a living teaching: that sincere love transcends rules and rituals.
