Baba's Storytime - The Idol Turned



When Kanakadas yearned to see the idol of Krishna installed in the temple at Udipi, though he could not go into the sacred precincts and the Flag Post hid the view, so he went round the shrine and tried to find a crevice in the wall, through which he could gain a glimpse of the Krishna he loved so much.  He found  a crevice but that gave him a glimpse of the back of the idol, not the resplendent face of the Lord.   When he lamented his fate, the idol turned round - as can be seen even today - and gave him the coveted Darshan!  That is the reward for the yearning.

(From the Divine Discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
