Divine discourse

This morning, my favourite Aashthaa TV Channel telecast a divine discourse on Shreemad Bhagavath Mahaa Puraan by Dr Parasharji Maharaj. He was explaining the meeting of Shri Sudaama with Lord Shree Krishna, his Gurukul classmate many years ago.

The programme reminded me of an excellent TV Serial on Shreemad Bhagavatham that used to be telecast on our National Channel; I clearly remember how Lord Shree Krishna got up from his seat and ran to the main door of his palace even without wearing his footwear, to receive his boyhood friend. 

I remember my beloved mother who kept a few jasmine flowers (from the plant in front of our cottage) in a small bowl of water so that I could offer it to Lord Shree Krishna; this was during my mother's last few years when she had become very weak. Once, after my morning Sandhyavandhanam, I said that I was tired and was going to take some rest; my mother said that we should not say that we are tired after performing Sandhyavandhanam. I think that what she meant was that we should not think that we are tired after performing any meditation, Deva Pooja etc.

I also remember my beloved brother who was a Shree Krishna devotee.

(After my brother's demise, I and my sister communicate over phone more frequently than before. Last week my sister told me that many times he had said "In my case and your case, we have family, and hence there are people to take care of us, if needed. But in Prasad's case, he has no one except you and me. Hence we should take care of him".

I experience some moisture in my eyes as I type these sentences). 

Thanks to Shree Parasharji Maharaj for bringing solace to very troubled minds like those of mine.

Lord Shree Krishna 

Jai Shree Krishnaa🙏.
