SKR-Of loops and symbolisms#5: Hard way and Smart Way : P.88 - Page 60

Pls share it Di or u want to wait for shruthi di's view on it
Yet in mythology this is one of the places where we find thulaparam mentioned that's why I shared if its occupying to much space will edit and post link alone let me know?
But this story depicts that the present day thulaparam is not the one the Lord actually asks for? Isn't it

@sanju the tulabharam you explained that story I also know. See this is the beauty of Krishna. Rukmini is his first wife, the crowned queen. Satyabhama is also his beloved. But then at no occasion Krishna undermines Rukmini. Every wife of Krishna has to respect Rukmini and she is the most cherished wife of Krishna, Sreedevi. A woman who has left behind everything for his sake. For Krishna Rukmini is first and she will treated as such. That's where Dasrath falters. Kausalya is first, but he gives importance to Kaikeyi. Krishna actually shows the rule of polygamy also. Bhama is not married because Rukmini has some inadequacy. It happens after the Symantaka incident where Bhama's father finally gives Bhama to Krishna. Same with Jambavati. It also happens in course of Symantaka incident. Rest of Krishna's wife as I understand are the one's liberated from Narakasura's prison who decided to commit suicide as society wont accept them. Krishna gives them shelter by marrying them.

Now coming to Shrutha your question. For me tulabharam is what part of you, you are willing to surrender to God. In physical sense you can give wealth equal to your physical weight as money, banana, sugar, diamonds anything.

I will post my views in a while.

Hello everybody. I am Sweetie. I was an ardent follower of SKR in the beginning but due to work pressures left it midway.

Hello Sweetie. Even I was like you. MB all around as like you I could relate to MB more. But SKR has in a way connected me more to Ramayana. And if you see I have posted many parallels between Ramayana and MB during discussions on SKR.

Hello Shruthi, Thanks for the welcome. Yup am trying to watch it regularly in this last leg and would love to join you all here. I am going through the thread backwards right now. As I said earlier, very interesting and informative discussions.

Shruthi ,You echoed my thoughts on Tulabharam.Even in the story about Satyabhama ,Krishna was trying to teach the same.The story shows that He does not Want your material wealth to be pledged to him,but he wants you to leave your outer layer of trappings along with your ego and surrender to his will.I have heard that when you do Tulabharam it is never perfectly balanced but the closest point is taken as the final result.Krishna follows the same path with Draupadi,he waits till she stops her cries of help from the people in the Sabha and lifting her hands surrenders to him.

I have always wondered if we humans are really capable of that kind of surrender,it just seems to be so difficult in practice.But in one of the books they had delineated the complete process by dividing them into steps.The first step was letting go of all the hurts and the people responsible for it without letting it take over your thoughts...I am stuck in the first step😆. Loved ur take on why A.p.WIll write more when I have some more time.

@Savitha when I read Celestine Prophecy as well as Magic the one thing that came prominently was to let go of the hurt.
