How Poor Sudama Became King Of Two Lokas?
Sudama was a childhood friend of Lord Krishna. He was born in a poor Brahmin family, to Matuka and Rochana Devi. Krishna, on the other hand, came from the royal family and hence, enjoyed the highest possible social status. However, this difference did not in any way hinder their friendship - the two were inseparable all the way through the tenure of their schooling while in Vrindavan. They studied together at Acharya Sandipan's ashram (hermitage).
After finishing with their studies, they lost touch for several years. Krishna moved away from Vrindavan and went on to Dwaraka, where he got married. He then became the King and a military leader of great reputation. Sudama, on the other hand, remained as poor as always and stayed on in the same village. He did not have much money to spare for his wife and children. There were many times when the family did not even get two meals a day. The children often cried out due to hunger and drank a lot of water to try and satisfy themselves. But despite this situation, Sudama would always offer half portion of his meal to God and live on the little that was left on his plate.
Finally, unable to take the hunger of her children anymore, Susheela ordered him to leave for Dwarka and request help from Krishna. He eventually agreed to visit his long-lost royal friend at Dwaraka.
Sudama’s love and devotion to the Lord was so immense, that if God ever had to repay him the price of each grain of rice, there will nothing left in the universe for anyone else and all the riches of the world will end up with Sudama.
Krishna began eating the rice. Krishna took his first bite and with the first bite he gave away SwargaLok (Heaven - First of the three Lokas) to Sudama. Then Krishna took his second bite and with this one he donated the PrithviLok (Earth - Second of the three Lokas) to Sudama. When he was about the take the third bite, his wife Rukmini came and stopped him indicating that she wouldn’t let him donate their home - the Vaikuntha Dhaam (Abode of Vishnu and Third Loka) to Sudama. If that happened, there would not be any difference between Sudama and the Lord, as Sudama would become the King of Three Lokas. Krishna tried to justify his actions saying that, the poor Sudama’s only possession in life was his small portion of meal for a day and he would still donate half of that to God. When Sudama could donate half his possessions to God, God would do the same for him. But Rukmini was adamant about not letting him have the third bite. She took away the left portion of the rice and shared it amongst the wives of Krishna, thus saving her Vaikuntha Dhaam.

It was sad that Sudama thought the Lord would renounce his friendship. Krishna has loyally, love and faith for all of his friends! He would never have turned his back on anyone! I wish more humans lived by that same creed... Thank you, Lord Krishna!!

I started crying. This was so beautiful. Love is so powerful. Giving food away with love, is so powerful. This is why in Indian culture we are taught to donate food, clothes and money. When given with love it's incredibly powerful. 💕💕

[@simthiam3712]

The Lord was totally aware of Sudama's predicament. The Lord was only waiting for that gift of love from Sudama. You reap what you sow. Any gift given with Love, produce meritorious result.

[@debengogoi140]

It is the not only love of sudama for krishna...it is the sudama's sufferings till he met krishna again , yet sudama's love for krishna never ended.. When first sudama met krishna in gurukul, sudama offered him water.Lord krishna then offered his friendship to sudama and will help sudama whenever he asked him.. Without sufferings and pain ,god would not give anything..Then only you will know the value of it.. Everybody is suffering this world whether it is for money, love etc.. Hope krishna will help the needy..

But why sudama make kids if he doesnt have money to feed them ? Pretty dumb

[@BangMaster96]

Krishna is an incarnation of God himself, Krishna does not judge any Human Being based on their Wealth or Social status. If you give God something, God gives you back ten times more. Never be discouraged to ask help from God, but remember, your devotion must be true and honest, not out of selfish desires or greed.

[@prosantomukerji3931]

Akshat Gupta; I agree; it is an excellent fictional story without any truth. It would mislead some viewers that Krishna was a makhan Chore stealing from the neighbors while lusting at the women bathing at the Yamuna Ghats. Occasionally hide their clothes to lust more at their partially nude bodies. He encouraged and personally assisted the Pandavas in mass-murdering 100 Kauravas for the inheritance of the kingdom. Krishna was an immoral pervert who assisted in mass murder contrary to the Hindu doctrine 'ahinsha permo dharma. Rishi Ved Vyas claimed that 100Kauravas were 100 sons of blind Dhritarashtra and Gandhari. Statistically and biologically, jhoot and bakwas. Facts lead to the truth, and the truth shall set Hinduism free. Satyemeva Jayete.

Not many know that sudama took upon a curse of poverty on himself to save krishna from the same...

[@a-4paper776]

pls can you explain more?

[@Glamsss-ss]

To save Krishna from poverty? Are you talking about the same Lord krishna whose wife is the goddess of fortune and wealth.. and you really think that he will live in poverty. Once sudama ate the rice that the wife of their guru sandipani sent for Lord Krishna and that is why he suffered poverty.

[@Physiology-E-Paathshala]

The rice which sudama was carrying when he was in forest with krishna during their gurukul days were cursed by a beggar lady....It's a long story which I can't write in text...But I am sure you will find more info about this on youtube or net

Why did King Draupad had fight with Sage Drona while Lord Krishna was Sudama always Friend Sudama went to Dwarka City Lord Krishna transformed Sudama home into Mansion and Sudama neighbours into Mansion

[@PremSingh-ev4mo]

This is also in Sikhism

[@kanchr7537]

I did not like Sudama character at all. If he has not material interests , why did he bring children into this world? He did, but was reluctant to do father's role and left them hungry for the most part of their life. This is a lazy attitude and the Hindu religion which actually considers Dharma as virtue should not consider Sudama as a great character. He failed in his Dharma as the provider to kids. And finally he accepts all the material things from Lord. Lol. It is so hypocrtic attitude.

[@sushovanchanda8455]

Krishna not only likes Sudama , he loves him . And that is what he wants nothing else. The sacrifice he made throughout his life has become lazy attitude for you. You will never understand spirituality behind the Krishna and Sudama relationship.

[@kanchr7537]

@@sushovanchanda8455 Sitting on your ass and not working is not spiritual. That is selfishness. And top of that taking free loads from a friend. And that kids are left to go hungry. How the F is that spiritual? Just because someone called it spiritual , that doesn't make one. All these stories fucked up minds that during a time in history men left homes in search of spirituality after having half a dozen kids . Heights of selfishness !! Of course, you guys are enough brain washed to believe in these stories, though in reality the one who gives much to society is the one who worked hard in their life.

[@vinaygandhi71]

@@sushovanchanda8455 indeed Sudama is a scholar, ascetic and a great friend. But like any person he had flaws. He failed to provide as a father and a husband. Even the Rishis and Munis who had forsaken material pleasures took Gruhastashram, accepted students and took gurudakshina for the sake of fulfilling their responsibilities as fathers/husbands. The hero of the story here is Krishna, irrespective of flaws and status...he valued and cherished friendship and devotion. Jai Shree Krishna 🙏
