Story of Vishnus Avatar --- Pundarik Vithala of Pundarpur


Lord Vishnu and Narada Muni talking in Heaven
Lord Vishnu: Narada Muni ,” You should take avatar and go to Earth to help people suffering there “
Narada: “But lord I will fall in trap of worldly desires so I don’t want to go to Earth”
Lord Vishnu:”Don’t worry .If that happens Ill come to earth and bring you back to right path”
So Narada agrees and takes avatar and goes to Earth. There he becomes a rich merchant and takes peoples Gold jewels and gives them money.If they are not able to give money he keeps their things and uses their jewels. Soon he becomes very rich. He is always accumulating wealth from poor people and never donates money to poor.
One day when rich Merchant was at his shop a poor old man comes to him.
Old Poor man: ” Son, I am an old poor man.Please Help me by lending money for my daughter’s marriage.”
Rich Merchant: No I cannot help you.
Old man pleads several times but in vain. Then he moves to net shops .He keeps on collecting money from people I the city.
 Then he happens to go to house of Rich merchant. His Wife comes and greets him
Wife of Rich Merchant: “Would you like to take some food?”
She gives him food and he eats it and is happy with that.
Old Poor man: “Daughter, Please Help me by lending money for my daughter’s marriage.”
Wife of Rich Merchant :”I don’t have money .I have only this diamond nose pin that I am wearing .Please sell it and do your daughter’s marriage.”
Old Man thanks her, blesses her a lot and leaves .
He directly goes to rich merchant to sell the nosepin. As soon as Merchant sees nosepin he is shocked that it can be none other than his wife’s nosepin that he gave to her. He becomes angry that she gave it to him .He takes nosepin from old man and locks it in his Box .He tells old man to wait near shop and that he does not have so much money at his shop  So he would go to home and get money from there .
At home of Rich Merchant
Rich merchant: “Can you show me nosepin that you were wearing”
Wife of Rich Merchant: “Yes I’ll get it. Please wait”
She is very scared .She goes to Tulsi Plant and prays in front of it .She touches Tulsi plant and she is enchanting GODs matra to help her as to what she will tell her husband that she gave nosepin to someone without asking him.
When she is hugging Tulsi plant she  finds Nose Pin lying there .She hands it over to her husband .Now rich merchant is shocked. He runs to his shop and opens the locked box and finds there is no nosepin  in the box. Meanwhile old man has disappeared. He tries to search him but cannot find him. He realizes that GOD had come and tested him. He had come to show him Right path.From that day on he started helping poor people and donation money
