Lord Krishna - the escort
Once upon a time, a little boy named Jatil lived with his widowed mother at the edge of a forest. His mother was poor but very pious woman. When he was five, his mother decided to send him to school which was on the other end of the forest. Little Jatil was afraid to go alone since the forest was dense and dark. But his mother told that there was nothing to worry about. His elder brother Madhusudan lives in the forest and he will help him any time he wanted. Jatil was surprised since he didn't know he had an elder brother. But he trusted his mother and set off to school. He was very excited to go to the school and had a nice day there. While returning home in the late afternoon, he was very scared. So he desperately called his brother Madhusudan to help him out. Suddenly, he heard a beautiful tune on flute and a dark handsome teenager boy appeared appeared before him. Jatil was elated to see his brother Madhusudan and the latter walked him to his home safely. Since then, whenever Jatil was lonely and afraid, he used to call Madhusudan and he would find himself in a safe company. One day, there was a feast in the school and Jatil was given the responsibility to bring curd for everyone. Since they were poor, Jatil was worried and asked Madhusudan to help him out. Madhusudan brought him a tiny pot of curd on the day of the feast. Jatil was nervous but Madhusudan assured him that, that would be enough for everyone. However, the headmaster was not happy to see the tiny pot and rebuked Jatil for ruining the feast. In the end, he decided to distribute it to few students. Amazingly, the pot refilled itself every time it was finished. It was the most delicious curd and everyone was overjoyed. The headmaster was cynical and he thought that Jatil was playing some trick. Jatil told him about his brother Madhusudan but the headmaster did not believe him. When he failed to convince, he cried out in despair to Madhusudan. Once again, the beautiful flute tune was heard but no one appeared. Instead a divine voice addressing the headmaster was heard: You'll never see me. Your mind is full of illusions and mistrust, even towards a little boy. This little boy had simple but firm faith in me and never doubted it. Both of them were awestruck and realized that it was Lord Krishna who benevolently appeared before Jatil as his brother Madhusudan.
