Sri Krishna Thulabharam!
Lord Krishna known for his practical ways, to teach lessons and
propagate his teachings, one such staged drama with Narada as protagonist is
Shree Krishna Thulabharam. There unravels a interesting story surrounding the incident
The story is set in Dwapara Yug, when Lord Krishna along with his
brother Balarama were living in Dwaraka, in the captivating place of Dwaraka,
Krishna with all his wives was always center of magnetism
Of all Lord Krishna’s Wives; Satyabhama was considered was most
beautiful and belonged to Royal ancestry and offspring of Satrajith, and sole
owner of Symantakamani (Jewel of prosperity) natural to her Lineage she was
considered to be self-important and conceited, on the other Hand Rukmini was virtuous wife and know for un-ending love and devotion towards
Lord Krishna.
One day to stage the drama, Sage Narada descended to Dwaraka and
while visiting the royal palace, met Satyabhama whilst she was getting ready in
her royal attire. Narada in his usual mischievous and acting ignorant tone
asked Satyabhama, whether Lord Krishna lover her more than other Wives and in
process tells her of Lord Krishna loving Rukmini more than Satyabhama even if
she was more beautiful, richer and younger than Rukmini and insists that she deserves more. Styabhama
shocked by what Narada was claiming, pulled herself back and pleaded Narada for
remedy to get back Lord Krishna to lover more than anyone else.
Sage Narada Waiting for the indication narrated her of a religious
practice of Handing over and swear Lord Krishna as a slave to Narada and
Re-claiming Lord Krishna by weighing equivalent Riches like gold and jewels of
Lord Krishna’s Weight , and claimed that Lord Krishna would be pleased of
knowing that you are ready leave your riches for him. Listening to the she
agrees Narada and arranges for Shree Krishna Thulabharam.
The Next day, this was announced in the city Dwaraka that Lord
Krishna will be affirmed as a slave to Narada and Re-claimed by weighing equivalent riches , the word spread
across the city every one gathered at the palace to see what’s to be Staged.
After Satyabhama completed Swearing and handing over of Krishna, a
Thulabhar (weighing machine) was called for, to be able to equivalent weight of
gold and jewels to re-claim Lord Krishna, As Lord Krishna Sat in one of the Pan
of Weighing Machine, Satyabhama started putting all her gold and jewels
equivalent to Krishna’s weight, to everyone’s surprise Satyabhama finished all
her riches including Syamantakamani, on the other pan was unable to weigh
equivalent weight.
Narada in his usual style seeing all this was staging the drama to
its climax and was being adamant, of not returning Lord Krishna until
Satyabhama weighs equivalent riches.
Satyabhama not being able to do so was worried and seeking help, in the
process she went to Rukmini and explained her incident.
Rukmini understanding the situation, came up to Scales and asked
to remove ,all the gold and jewels and she placed a single Leaf of Sacred
Tulasi , to everybody’s astonishment , Single leaf of sacred basil weighed more
than Krishna’s weight and Lord Krishna re-claimed back from Narada
Lord Krishna staged drama along with Narada to teach a lesson to his proud
wife Satyabhama and to propagate the teaching of devotion is the only thing
that god expects and Rich offerings and his showers his blessings only on
devotees who pray with all their heart and true to oneself.
