Interesting stories of Bhakt Namdev linked with Lord Krishna
Sant Namdev always remained in the company of Saints.Once his mother asked him for bringing bark (chhal of tree) from jungle. He went into the jungle and a saint was also pesented there while he was scratching bark from the tree.
The saint told him that the trees are alive and they also feel pain and sorrows. He felt sorry and for this compensation he also scratched his leg's skin and there was bleeding came out.
When he went to his home and his mother had seen bleeding on his leg and he told all what he felt and the saint told him about the trees. His mother understood the fact that this is the effect of saint's company.
Once Namdev's father went out from the house and recommended him to feed the meals as bhog to Shri Krishna. Namdev took it seriously and his mother prepared super and ask him for bhog to Shri Krishna.
Namdev thought that Shri Krishna actually would come and eat the super. When Namdev requested again and again for coming and taking meals then he thought that I have done some mistake and Lord Shri Krishna is not coming.
But he actually wanted to feed Shri Krishna. He sat beside Shri Krishna's idol. His feeling was true. He requested Shri Krishna for taking bhog as his father's thinking is I am idle. He would rebuke me. Please take bhog. For his sober feeling Shri Krishna had to come.
Shri Krishna came and ate the meals with the hands of child Namdev. When he came back from the Temple his mother asked him why he spent so much time in the Temple.
Bhakt Namdev told her mother that Lord Krishna had not come and he had to wait for him. When he came and took the bhog, then I came back. His mother surprised at this hearing and asked had Lord Krishna actually come?
Once Namdev was making Roti and he placed it in the plate. A dog came and took the Roti and ran away.
Bhakt Namdev ran after the dog for sticking ghee on the Roti. He cried let me sticking ghee for you on the Roti.
He felt the presence of Lord Krishna in every creature. Actually Lord Krishna presented there ,who was in the form of dog. Bhakt Namdev sticked ghee on the Roti and Shri Krishna ate it with delicious taste.
Once someone set fire in Namdev's hut. Namdev saw that his hut was burning. He threw all his luggage into the hut as he felt only Shri Krishna's name is with me. I have no need for hut or luggage.
At last Shri Krishna had to come for reconstruction of hut. Shri Krishna Constructed new hut in place of burnt hut.
Bhakt Namdev was singing and dancing in Nageshwaram Temple with devotional bhakti geet.
But the residing pujari and Pandits did not like all this. They turned him out. Bhakt Namdev felt low at this incident.
But everyone who were presented there saw that the facing of jyotirling was turned from the East to the West direction where Bhakt Namdev was sitting.
Where Bhakt Namdev was sitting now here is a Gurudwara of Namdev. Here a Chaki is placed. The link with Chaki is that Namdev was asked to make flour with wheat for too much saints.
When Namdev began to revolve Chaki ,then Chaki was automatically revolving and flour was being made. In a very short time flour was made.
In this way Bhakt Namdev had got help and support from Lord Shri Krishna for many times.
