विट्ठल विट्ठल मंत्र है, विट्ठल नाम महान।
भाव मंजरी विट्ठला, विट्ठल श्री भगवान॥
VITTHAL AND BHAKT SAKHUBAI (विट्ठल और भक्त सखूबाई)
In a village near Pandharpur, a couple had a daughter Sakhu Bai who was devoted to Vitthal from childhood.
She was married to one Krishna Sharma. Her husband and in-laws were cruel towards her. Despite this, she had no ill feeling towards them and did her duties religiously.
One day, she saw some people going to Pandharpur to have Vitthal’a darshan.
She too wanted to go but her in-laws refused and tied her to a pillar.
When she was alone, a woman looking exactly like her appeared and told her to go while she would take her place in the house.
प्रेम ही वो बंधन है जिसमें सारे जगत को बांधने वाले ईश्वर भी स्वयं बंध जाते हैं
STORY OF DWARKADHEESH AND HIS BHAKT BADANA
There was a girl Badana who came everyday from Dakor to Dwarka, to worship Krishna.
One day, pleased with her devotion, Prabhu followed her back to Dakor.
When his murti was found missing at Dwarka, the Pujaris searched everywhere and found it with Badana.
They agreed to let her keep the murti if she gave gold equal to the Murti’s weight.
She kept her gold nose ring on one side of weighing scale. The simple nose ring proved to be heavier than the murti. This was Prabhu’s leela because he knew that she had no other gold to give.
