Hello Anudi ! Glad To Meet You ! Hope You'll Like This Place !

For Me, It's Krishna-Sudama, Because They Shared The Perfect Sakhya Bhaav i.e. The Love For God, Who Is Loved By A Devotee By A Friend. And Yes, In This Relation, Buth Of Them Loved Each Other More Than Their Lives And Could Do Anything To Please The Other, And It Is Also The Most Celebrated Friendship In Hinduism !

And Second Choice, Is Krishna-Arjun. Yeah, They Had Their Guru-Shishya Moments. But Then, After Krishna Shows His Vishwaroop, The First Thing That Arjun Says Is, "My Lord, Forgive Me, I Always Treated You Like My Friend, With Who I Can Fight And Be Angry On And Say Improper Things !" But Krishna Says, "Arjun, I Am The Almighty Or Your Keshav, You Always Have The Liberty To Fight With Me Because, First You Are My Friend, And Then Devotee."

@Radhikerani Thanks for such a warm welcome !
Lovely post!
Yes Krishna sudama bond is an example of eternal bond of true friendship!

It is significant that Sudama comes to Krishna not for any favor, but just to express his friendship, his love to him, and even as a poor man he brings a gift for his old friend. Usually a poor person wants to receive something. he rarely gives anything. Here Sudama comes with a gift and not for a gift.

Sudama didn't ask for anything but still got everything! Lovely friendship!

Yes Arjun was the best friend and disciple of Sri Krishna. Arjun respected Sri Krishna as his chosen ideal and guide. The friendship between them is more out of respect of Arjun towards Krishna and his complete faith in him.

Yes, And You Have A Lovely Way Of Expressing Yourself !

Haan, Krishna Was More Like A Friend, Guide, And Sometimes I Feel, A Father Too !

@ Radhikerani Loved ur post!

Thank You So Much !

The most ideal friendships in our puranas, according to me:

I love Lord Krishna n Draupadi's friendship the most...

At a time wen men n women were not allowed to mix freely, they set an example. Its sad how people try to link them romantically n scandalously...

Another friendship I love is the one between Lord Krishna n Sudama...it proves how friendship transgresses social boundaries of class n wealth...

I also like Ma Sita n Trijata's bonding...
