Hey Friends...
Here I am with the update and again super late...Sorry our problem is not solved..so I think no cable at my place for some more days...Now, going directly to the update...

The episode starts with Sudama telling his son that from tomorrow, they will have to come with him for Bhiksha and his son denies it saying that he will not go with him as they have everything now. Sudama says that we are doing it to follow our duty. But Mohan says that when he will stand in front of his friend's house; they will laugh at him and he said no to Sudama. But Sudama said they will go tomorrow morning and now, this decision will not be changed.

Jambavanti asked Krishna Ji that why Sudama wants his children to go for Bhiksha, whenn they have everything. Krishna Ji replied her by saying that asking for Bhiksha never allows a person to be pride o his own-self and those people can come near God. Sudama wants his children to come near me.

Morning time...
Sudama's children were discussing that they will not go anywhere with their father as they dont want their friends to laugh at them. So, they decided to run and hide at some place.

Jambavanti asks Krishna Ji that what will happen now. Krishna Ji smiles and a boy appears at Sudama's village. Everyone smiles. The boy walked ahead and started asking for Bhiksha near the place where Sudama's children are hiding. They all walk out and the boy asked them that R u guys are asking for Bhiksha too. They all denied saying that we are not like u. To which the boy replied that he don't now who he is. but he is just following his father's wish. his father has told him that its a Brahmin's Dharam to ask for Bhiksha. He makes them understand about its importance.

Sudama is praying and all 3 of them walked to him. Sudama turned and asked them about Mohan. Susheela walked with Mohan. She asked Sudama that what kind of a father he is...as he wanted his children to go through difficult things. They are her children and not of any beggar. Sudama seemed shocked. Sudama said that money helps us to meet our needs and excess of it can make us blind and thus, she has forgotten that she is wife of a Brahmin. Susheela said that my children will not go the people who look at them with respect and expects gifts from them at time of festivals. They will laugh at us and then, what will sudama do.

Sudama said that its not the mother inside u but its ur pride who is fighting with me. U r worried for world and I am worried for disciplines. U r worried for ur pride and I am worried for my God and thus, my decision is final. Susheela shouts at him saying that u havent done anything in ur life and now, dont even allow them to do anything. She left the place and Sudama prays in front of krishna Ji asking him to forgive her.

Krishna Ji says that husband and wife completes each other. Sudama is full-filling his duties as a father and soon a time will come, when he will need to do his duties as a husband.

Sudama came in the hall and called his children. All came in except Mohan and all were dressed in clothes of a Brahmin. He smiled looking at them and then, asked for Mohan. THey pointed in a direction and he walked to see Mohan standing there all dressed in clothes of a Brahmin. He told them they are looking very cute and then, they all stood to left. But Mohan didn't move from his place. Sudama asked him what happened and he relied that he is feeling shy to go and ask for Bheeksha. Sudama said that they are doing this to overpower this shyness and they all left.

They were walking through the streets and people are shocked to see them walking like this. They have gone to 2 houses, when Mohan said that now they have asked for Bheeksha. So, can they leave. Sudama said that we should go to 5 houses and it doesn't matter whether we got any Bheeksha or not. We will go to 5 houses.

They moved to another house and call for Bheeksha. A woman spoke from inside saying that the sun has not risen properly and they have come. She came out and was shocked to see Sudama standing there. She asked him that he is one of the richest person of their village then why he is doing all this? Sudama replied her that he is a Brahmin and its his Dharam. There was a pause in between but now, he wanted his children to learn the same. The women asked them to wait and she went inside. They move to another house and this time, Sudama asked Mohan to call for bheeksha. Mohan did and a woman came out. She kept looking at them and then calls her son saying that his friend has came.

And, it ends here...
Once again, sorry for the delay...I am worried but I think the same will go for some more time...
Preet...

Thanks for the update Preet😊
When they return home will Sudama Ask Susheela to cook from that bhiksha they got, if she refuses , will he keep his children hungry? This is not Brahmin's dharma but should be called Karma? Anyway I am not able to accept this begging track. If begging could lead one towards God then 80% of worlds poulation since Dwapar yuga would have not been born again. I am afraid this track is going to backfire if they are showing to increase TVR. A brahmin's biggest asset is his knowledge, Sudama doesn't want to teach his childeren what he had learned at Gurukul but want's to show then this is how you should live, if not then you are not doing brahmin dharma's palana. By teaching them Gyana-marga, he can take them towards Krishna with much better understanding.
Krishna has always insisted on karma, when did he say begging is one's karma even after you have enough for one's needs at home.

I commented on the social ramifications of what Sudama did here, and agree w/ Mnx - can't digest this begging track.

One thing about what Krishna told Jambavati - the idea of begging inculcating a sense of humility is fine, but that's always done @ Gurukul level as an experiment to inculcate those values, but aside from that, the only reason a Brahmin begs is when he's genuinely poor, like Sudama previously was. In the RS Ramayan, Dasharath explained that concept to his wives when Rama & his brothers were sent to Vashistha's gurukul. Just b'cos they did it there didn't mean that they later took up begging, and this is not just restricted to kshatriyas. Vashistha, Valmiki, Vishwamitra too were Brahmins, but they didn't resort to begging either. In fact, in a kingdom, a king who could satisfy the needs of his Brahmin citizens so that they wouldn't have to beg was one who would get the fruits of such good deeds, such as a prosperous family, a powerful kingdom, et al.

I agree w/ Mnx on this as well - when did Krishna inspire anybody to beg after he had everything? That would be plain greed. This track is not making sense to me either. Have they still not finalized who'll play Draupadi?

Anyway, next thing will be Sudama trying to reform Susheela. But I don't like Sudama & family being in rags all the time. Krishna gave him all this for a good reason.

P.S. Preet, the boy who appeared b4 the kids was the childhood Krishna himself - the one they showed in flashbacks begging along w/ Sudama.

i kinda agree with mnx12, this whole bhiksha for humility lessons and thats brahman dharma is not sitting too well with me. Not to mention the unnecessary stretching they are doing for the show.
My dad will prolly suffer a heartache if he hears this nice interpretation of brahmin dharma. what about dan dhyan, vidyadan, which sudama can do? now that he is rich, isnt it more of a brahman dharma if he imparts knowledge to people, specially poor underpriviledged one without fees? whats this nonsense of taking kids , that too almost babies to beg. And why on earth is susheela so damn arrogant and annoying? She is blessed by the Bhagwan, there is no way such arrogance will exist, or so i thought and read. But I like the guy playing sudama and enjoy the monologues from Lord K, so i will bear on.. Not too mention Jamvavati and Sb looks cute in those dresses and their swami talk.
