2021 Sharad Poornima Edition

Kripalu Leelamritam : Laddoo chor

यह अर्टिक्ल हिन्दी में पढ़ें
Shri MaharajjiShri Maharajji in the 1950s
This is a story  when Shri Maharaj Ji used to live in Pratapgarh in Mahabani Ji's house. At the same time, there used to live a lady lovingly called as Godawari Buaji in Pratapgarh. Godawari Buaji originally hailed from Rajasthan.

She was a devotee of Shri Maharaj ji and every now and then she would invite Him home. She was expert in making choorma laddoo (sweet balls made primarily with roasted wheat flour, sugar and lots of ghee).

Every time, Shri Maharaj Ji went to her house He came back admiring the taste of the laddoo's made by her. Mahabani ji used to treat Shri Maharaj Ji as his son. One day Mahabani ji chided Him, "aren't You ashamed of Yourself? You go and eat the laddoo all by Yourself and don't even bring one for me"? 
​

Next time Sri Maharaj Ji went for a meal in her house as usual she offered a plate of two laddoos. Maharaj Ji took a small bite of one laddoo and said this laddoo is very tasty. Can you get another one for me? When she left the room to bring another laddoo He put the first one in the pocket of His kurta. By the time she came back with another ladoo she assumed that Shri Maharaj Ji loved it so much that He had already finished it. This thought delighted her. Then Shri Maharaj Ji said “do you have one more”? While she went to fetch that third time Maharaj Ji put the second ladoo also in His pocket. Then the third ladoo He ate and came back.

​As soon as He entered the house He called out, "Mahabani, look what I have brought for you". Seeing Mahabani Ji  Maharaj Ji, with a beaming smile, pulled out the two 
laddoos from His pocket and said, “see what I got for you" and narrated the story of how He stole it. 
​
For the love of His devotees Shri Krishna used to steal butter, mind, kheer etc. and was given the names like makhan chor, chit chor, kheer chor. And that day our very own beloved Shri Maharaj Ji became laddoo chor. 

​
Moral : God  and His genuine saints can do no wrong. They are self-complacent. They do everything only for the pleasure of the devotees. There is no other purpose for their actions other than the benediction of material souls, so that by hook or by crook they may attach their minds to Shri Krishna. Therefore -

येन-केन प्रकारेण मन: कृष्णे निवेशयेत ||
भक्ति रसामृत सिंधु - 1.2.4
yena-kena prakāreṇa mana: kṛṣṇe niveśayeta ||
bhakti rasāmṛta siṃdhu - 1.2.4
“By hook or by crook attach your mind to Shri Krishna”.

<< Controlling our anger
Shri Krishna - Our only Eternal Relative >>
