In modern times, when people are not able to maintain relationships with their relatives, we need to draw inspiration from the life of Lord Krishna. Here are 4 friends of Lord Krishna who were not only assisted by God when needed but also given him full respect for the rest of his life.
Krishna - Sudama
Sudama is first remembered among the friends of Lord Krishna. Sri Krishna was the king of palaces and Sudama was a poor Brahmin, but Lord Krishna never allowed this difference between his friendship. When Sudama, the friend of Sri Krishna's childhood, approached him to Dwarka seeking financial assistance, he doubted whether Sri Krishna would recognize him or not. But as soon as Sri Krishna heard Sudama's name, he ran barefoot to meet him. Respectfully brought them to the palace. He cried emotionally. Not only the subjects but also krishna's queens were surprised to see a poor man crying in love. He ate the rice brought by Sudama as if he were eating a special dish. Seeing Sudama, he understood his concern and gave him everything without asking for it and completed it.
Krishna-Arjuna
Arjuna Krishna seemed to be the brother of God, but he considered him his friend. On the battlefield of Rukshetra, Sri Krishna became arjuna's charioteer and taught him the lesson of the war of justice by following the truth. Arjuna encouraged him when he fell weak. It was on the guidance of Sri Krishna that Arjuna was able to fight against iniquity with his own people and finally the Pandavas won
Krishna-Draupadi
Daupadi considered Lord Krishna as his brother and friend. When Draupadi remembered Sri Krishna at the time of chiraharan, he helped him and saved him from being ripped. It teaches us that we should always help our friend in times of adversity.
Krishna-Balram
Sri Krishna's uncle seemed to be in a cruel relationship, but he also had exclusive devotees. It was Akruti who took Sri Krishna and Balram from Vrindavan to Mathura. On the way, he was given a vision of his true form by Lord Krishna. Akruti ji had dedicated himself to Sri Krishna after knowing his truth. Despite the relationship between God and the devotee, Sri Krishna easily played it as a friendship. In today's time, it can be understood that if the mind is clean and clean, god and devotees can also become true friends.
