Sudama - Animated Bengali Film For Kids
Sudama also known as Kuchela mostly in South India was a Brahmin childhood friend of Hindu deity Krishna from Mathura the story of whose visit to Dwaraka to meet Krishna is mentioned in the Bhagavata Purana. He was born as a poor man in order to enjoy the transcendental pastimes.
Synopsis - Sudama was from a poor family. His father's name was Matuka and his mother was Rocana devi. Krishna was from the royal family. But this difference in social status did not come in the way of their friendship. They lost contact over the years and while Krishna became a military leader and King of great repute at Dwaraka Sudama stayed as a humble and somewhat impoverished villager. Some time later when Sudama was going through some bad times not even having enough money to feed his children. His wife Sushila reminded him of his friendship with Krishna. Though initially reluctant to go to his friend for help Sudama finally agrees to go. He leaves with nothing but some beaten rice tied in a cloth as a present. He remembers that beaten rice is Krishna's favorite and decided to give this as a gift to the Lord. Krishna is greatly pleased to see his old friend. He treats him royally and with much love. Overwhelmed by all this Sudama forgets to ask what he actually came for. But the Lord realises what his friend needs and the Lord's consort Rukmini incarnation of Lakshmi gifts him with his desires. On his return journey Sudama ponders his circumstances and is thankful for the great friend he has as Lord Krishna. When Sudama finally returns to his home he finds a palatial mansion instead of the hut he had left. He also finds his family dressed in extremely nice garb and waiting for him. He lives an austere life after that always thankful to the Lord. Lord Sri krishna and Sudama studied together at Acharya Sandipan's ashram (hermitage). Krishna and Sudama once went to the forest to gather brushwood. They stayed in forest for long walking and chatting with each other while also enjoying the beauty of their environment. It started getting quite late and Krishna got hungry. Sudama in the meantime had some beaten rice with him which was given by Sandipan's wife before they leave and she asked to share the food with Krishna. However Sudama didn't offer this food to his friend. Krishna kept telling him how hungry he was and asked his friend if he had anything at all to eat. Sudama denied taking along anything to eat. A while later Krishna laid down on Sudama's lap after which Sudama took the beaten rice and started eating. Lord Krishna though his eyes are closed he knew what's going on and asked Sudama what was he eating. Sudama said "Nothing it was due to cold you hear my teeth biting". Then Krishna tells Sudama a story in which there were two friends and one of them ate food without offering to other. When the friend asked what was he eating, he says "What is there to eat except mud". Then the friend says "Tathastu ( Let it happen that way)". Krishna adds the friend in this story is greedy and not as good as you. So it happens to you only if you are greedy too. This explains why Sudama experienced extreme poverty and he gained wealth only after offering Lord Krishna's share of beaten rice. The moral of the story is to offer food to hungry people or animals ( Seeing God in all creatures ) around you before you eat.
This story is told to illustrate that the Lord does not differentiate between people based on their financial status and that he will reward devotion always. Another moral taught by this story is to never expect anything free in life. God will provide for your good deeds. Another moral is not to trade Bhakti for anything in return. Sudama did not ask Krishna for anything. Despite being poor Sudama had given Krishna everything he had in return the Lord gave Sudama everything he needed. Another important lesson here is about how Krishna rewards true persons. Krishna did not reward Sudama just because he was a friend. Sudama spent all of his time and effort in cultural efforts befitting a true person which explained why he was financially not well off. This included teaching religion, moral duties, and spreading spirituality through society. It is for this effort that Krishna rewards Sudama's family with wealth so that Sudama may continue to do that work.
Sudama was Lord Krishna's classmate and a very intimate friend. Lord Krishna was a King. Sudama was an impoverished poor Brahmin. This difference did not come in the way of their true friendship. Shri Krishna Sudama is an immortal example of real, non materialistic friendship. It is a perpetual symbolic definition of real friendship.
