Guest guest Posted September 21, 2002 Report Share Posted September 21, 2002 Srimad Bhãgavatam says: " Guroh anugrahenaiva puman purnah prashantaye! " - One who has the blessings of the Guru enjoys complete, eternal peace. Krishna and Kuchela studied together as children in Sandeepani Gurukulam. Krishna became the ruler of Dwãraka while Kuchela led a life of poverty. Under the insistence of his wife, Kuchela went over to meet his beloved friend Krishna. Krishna and Kuchela recollected their wonderful school days. Krishna then said to Kuchela, " Sudhama! I am Dwãrakadeesa (ruler of Dwãraka) and Lakshmipathi (the Lord of Goddess of wealth, Lakshmi). You are the very personification of poverty. The whole world would refer to `Kuchela' as a symbol of poverty. But both of us enjoy peace. Do you know the reason for this? " This is because when we prostrated to our Guru, at the time of taking leave, He raised both his hands and blessed us whole-heartedly with his cool grace saying, " May you be blessed with peace!
