Dear all,

 

 

1.The name Sudama. This word means one who is bound by the rope of different

karmaas. (daamam is rope)  

 

2. Sudama got the name Kuchelan because his poverty sometimes forced him to

wear not- so- clean  clothes or Kuthsitha chela. (he did not even have another

one to wear when the one he was wearing was being washed and dried)

 

 

3. Four handfuls of rice flakes or Poha (avil in Malayalam) stand for Dharmam,

arthham, kaamam and Moksham.

 

4. The rice with husk (before making into flakes) represents karmabeejam or seed

of actions. In the right environment it will sprout. To avoid that, with great

effort it was made into flakes and tied in a bag so that no more karmaas will

sprout from those seeds.

 

 

5. This bag of flakes also represents the warmth of his friendship with Lord

Krishna. It is not appropriate to visit Lord with empty hands.

 

6. Lord Krishna who is Dwaraka vaasin is Kshethrajnan or one who dwells in every

body's heart.

 

Now let us put the story together:

 

One who is bound by the karmaas (sudaama and all of us), with great effort and

intense devotion transformed the seeds of all his Dharma, arthha, kaama and

moksha kaamya karmaas or result oriented actions, into nishkaama karmaas (with

out expecting results) or flakes that would never sprout, tied in a bag  and

offered at the feet of Lord Krishna, the Kshethrajnan, as a symbol of his warm

friendship and love.

 

 

Eating one handful of the flakes was enough to give all the blessings Sudama

needed to continue his journey in the path of devotion towards Bhagavaan. Sudama

got what he deserved with out asking the Lord.

 

Bhagavaan takes away everything from a DEVOTEE when he sees that wealth creates

an obstacle in their path of devotion. But when poverty becomes an obstacle in a

DEVOTEE's path of devotion, he showers with wealth on them. Either way

devotees always feel grateful towards Bhagavaan's decisions. This is hundred

percent true in Sudama's case.
