Five such friends of Sanatan Dharma, which became an example
Friendship Day 2o25: In the scriptures, friendship is not just a feeling, but an unwavering relationship that set examples for ages. There are some couples in the Sanatan tradition, which changed the definition of friendship. From Krishna Sudama to Karna Duryodhana, these relations are still a mirror to test every relationship.
The scriptures, Puranas and epics of Hinduism are not only of wars and miracles, but also the depths of relationships. There are examples of such friendship in the scriptures that still teach people the lesson of selfless love, loyalty and sacrifice.
In Hinduism, eternal culture, friendship is not just a social relationship, but a spiritual relationship. While the rest of the relationships are formed from birth, friendship is associated with the acceptance of the soul. These were the relationships that were associated with the bondage of the soul, not blood. Let’s know about the 5 such true and heart touching friendship which are immortal in Ramayana, Mahabharata and other texts.
Krishna and Sudama friendship where there was love at the top
This friendship described in the Bhagavata Purana is considered an example of true love and renunciation. In childhood, both of them studied together, but the path of life separated. Sri Krishna of Dwarka on one side and poor Brahmin Sudama on the other side. When Sudama came to meet Krishna for compelled by the family’s hunger, he was hesitant to demand. But Krishna neither saw his poverty, nor was the situation but saw his friend, washed the feet and fulfilled his needs without saying anything. This friendship teaches us that a true friend is the one who understands your suffering without saying.
Karna and Duryodhana are not greed, friendship of loyalty
In the Mahabharata, many people consider Karna and Duryodhana’s friendship based on the foundation of greed, but the reality is much deeper. When the society insulted Karna by calling it a sutputra, Duryodhana gave him respect by making him the king of organ country. It was not just a political move, but a courage to recognize a person. Karna played friendship with Duryodhana throughout his life, even when she came to know about her real mother Kunti, she still gave priority to her friendship. This friendship still tells that friendship is made by blood, not by blood.
Krishna and Arjuna standing in the battlefield
This friendship was not only of love or emotions, but also a partnership of religion and duty. In the war of Mahabharata, when Arjuna stuck in fascination and back to war with his own relatives, Krishna did not just teach him, but should explain the esoter truth of life like a true friend. Which we know today as the Gita. In the war, he not only supported Arjuna, but also guided in every difficulty. This friendship tells that a true friend is the one who takes you on the right path, no matter how difficult it is.
Krishna and Draupadi examples of spiritual friendship between men and women
This friendship was beyond social boundaries. There was no greed in the friendship of Draupadi and Krishna, no attraction, only spiritual affection and security promise. When the entire assembly was silent at the time of ripping, Draupadi called Krishna and Krishna lashed out at his friend. Draupadi also had full faith in Krishna throughout his life and considered him his first support in every crisis. This friendship teaches us that friendship does not bind in any limit, nor gender, nor class, nor situation.
King Harishchandra and friendly friendship with religious crisis
This story described in Markandeya Purana is not as famous, but it is equally strong. King Harishchandra had lost everything for his truth, the right to cremate the state, family, even his son. Then his friend Dharmabuddhi not only gave him shelter, but also stood with him in every difficult time. Dharmabuddhi understood the truth and religion of the king and helped him without any selfishness. This friendship tells that the true friend is the one who is with you in your fall, not just in Utkarsh.
Religious texts are full of stories that inspire us, but some of these relationships really show the pure nature of friendship. This friendship is not only a story, but there are relationships that raise a new hope in the world full of today’s running, selfishness. If a friend like Krishna, Karna or Harishchandra is in your life, then understand, you have found the form of God.
