Kl20. Krishna And Brahmins' Wives Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

KRISHNA LEELA

One fine morning for breakfast,
The boys came with a request,
To Krishna for some food to eat,
But He gave them all a test.

To the Brahmins' houses nearby,
He told them to go and try,
In His name to ask for food,
To see if they were not rude.

Their norms the Brahmins had,
To entertain them, they felt bad,
Those men of other caste,
To partake in their feast.

As Krishna was a Vaisya,
Balarama being a Ksatriya,
To spare food they rejected.
The boys came back dejected.

To approach, He again sent them,
The Brahmins' wives this time,
Despite their husbands' protest,
With food the ladies ran to Him fast.

So much was their love for Him,
They surrendered their Souls to Him.
He told them to go back home,
With no fears they went back home.

Their husbands felt shame,
For not realizing his fame,
They took their wives back home,
Accepting Krishna as the Supreme.

A lesson, this way, He taught,
A communal harmony it brought,
Happy they spent their days
And merrily they lived always.
