Purandara DAsaru, originally known as Srinivasa Nayaka, wealthy and immersed in the gem trade, he earned the moniker ‘navakOti nArAyaNA.’ However, he was infamous for his extreme frugality, valuing nothing above money. One day, Lord Vishnu took the form of a destitute Brahmin, seeking funds for his son’s thread ceremony. Despite persistent visits over six months, Nayaka refused to give. In frustration, he presented the Brahmin with a handful of worn-out coins. Meanwhile, Saraswathi, Nayaka’s compassionate wife, learned of the Brahmin’s plight. Unable to offer help without her husband’s consent, she gave him a diamond nose-stud from her parents. The Brahmin returned to Nayaka’s shop, showing him the ornament. Recognizing it as his wife’s, Nayaka grew irate, thinking she had given away a precious possession. The situation escalated, leading Saraswathi to contemplate suicide. However, a miraculous turn of events revealed the nose-stud, dispelling the crisis. Nayaka, realizing the divine intervention, renounced his attachment to wealth, becoming a devoted follower of Sri Hari. This transformed him from a miserly merchant into the revered Purandara DAsaru, leaving a legacy of devotion and generosity. Would really appreciate if you can subscribe to my YouTube channel too.
