Cmp 20. Sridhar, Nimai's Dear Friend

CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU Nimai quite often visited His dear most friend Kholavecha Shridhar For his good behavior. "Why're you so poor? " Once he asked Shridhar, "Lord's name always you chant But still, why are you in want? " Shridhar said, "I'm not starving. You now see, I've everything. My body is well covered Also I've my daily food." Nimai asked, "What food You'll give me, the one good? " Bananas, radish, somehow, Give me freely right now." "I'll give what you want, With my cheerful heart, Don't ask me anymore Queries, I've no answer." Like this Shridhar said But Nimai merely smiled And told, "I'm a cowherd Which you haven't heard." "Let me tell you the truth Hear this from my mouth, I'm the source of the River Ganga which flows forever." Shridhar simply laughed Saying, "You're still a child, You're a grown up adult Yet, well matured not." This has been Nimai's role, Asking someone a riddle, Going for food to houses, Or for some kind of materials. People were not tired, But they well enjoyed, His valuable company, For his magnetic personality. But for outbursts occasional, He appeared to be too gentle But never had he revealed, To anyone, his past life record.
