Story Time -A Visit from Devas

	A Visit from Devas


	Once Dharmadev was perparing to perform his ritual puja. Ghanshyam got all the necessary things ready for His father’s puja and went to play in the front yard. Shortly, Dharmadev called from inside, “Ghanshyam!” “Yes, father,” said Ghanshyam, as He went back inside. “Son, quickly get me a tulsi leaf.” Ghanshyam went to get one, and to His father’s astonishment was back with the leaf in no time at all. “How did you go all the way to Narayan Sarovar and get back so quickly?” Hearing this Ghanshyam laughed, “But father,” He said, “There are tulsi leaves in our own front yard!” “We only have tamarind trees in our front garden. Tulsi leaves grow at Narayan Sarovar,” Dharmadev said confidently. “If you don’t believe me, come and see for yourself,” said Ghanshyam. Dharmadev came out on the porch and to his amazement, he saw tulsi shrubs instead of tamarind trees! There was also chandan, gulal, kumkum and flower petals sprinkled all over the yard. His eyes were still. Just then, Bhaktimata and Suvasinibhabhi arrived. Puzzled by this scene, they asked Dhamadev, “Who spilled all this kumkum in the front yard?” And where did all these tulsi shrubs come from?” Dharmadev, still confused, pointed to Ghanshyam who was smiling. What really happened was that when Ghanshyam came out to play, Devas had come from heaven to perform Ghanshyam’s puja.
