Kuchelar Dinam

From minute pieces of flattened rice,

Arises a Palacial, grandiose house.

Listen to this story about a meaningful prize 

Given to Suddhama by God Krishna, of course.

Suddhama and Krishna have been together, 

In their lone Gurukulam school.

Together they played, together they made,

They made life a happy pool.

But turns out, Suddhama is poor,

And has hardly any money to spare.

"Ask for some help," his wife said,

So of he went, under the Sun's hot flares.

All day and night, he travelled far,

With a small rag pouch of flattened rice.

He walked and walked, until he heard the talks,

Of faraway guards, not so nice.

He finally reached, and as he was about to enter,

The guards refuse his enterance.

"I am innocent, I am Krishna's friend!" 

But they will not let him enter.

But Krishna appears, to greet him inside, 

With a big, warm hug.

"What do you have for me?" He asked nicely,

As Suddhama hid the pouch.

"Oh, flatened rice!" Krishna cried, 

Grabbing the pouch from Suddhama.

As He and Rukmini ate and ate,

Listen to what happened at the house of Suddhama!

The house slowly started to widen,

And grow and grow and grow.

And then it brightened, and became beautiful,

And his children were surprised so.

Suddhama returned, forgetting to ask for help,

Forgetting his family's cries.

 But what he saw made his mouth fall open:

A palace reaching the sky!

So today, we give flattened rice to God Krishna,

Believing that He will bless us like He blessed Suddhama!

Remember,God knows what is right for us.He gives anything and everything which we are worthy of. Suddhama was asked to ask Krishna for help, but he did not. He became extremely happy when he saw Krishna and Rukmini enjoying the flattened rice, thus in the joy, he forgot his difficulties. But he was blessed with what he needed without asking.
