        \"The<\/p>\n

        Philemon and Baucis were old couples who lived in a hut on a mound. They were very generous to the people who came to their hut, even to strangers also. They were hard-working and poor. One evening they heard the barking sound of dogs and shouting of boys. They understood that some strangers might come. Philemon said to his wife to arrange some food for strangers and he would go to and fetch the strangers. The strangers wore tom clothes and were tired.<\/p>\n

        Philemon welcomed the strangers. They were made to sit at the table. Philemon and Baucis talked very kindly and affectionately. Baucis served a small bowl of milk to them. She politely told if they had come a little earlier they could have shared their meal. One of the guests replied that they were happy with what they offered, they appreciated their kindness and hospitality. They drank the milk and asked for some more.

        Summary:<\/span><\/p>\n

        It is one of the well-known stories of Mahabharatha. When Pandavas lived in the forest, Lord Surya gave them this wonder bowl to Yudhistira. The specialty of this Akshaya Pathra was that it would give unlimited (Akshaya) food till Draupadi finished her meal. Once Durvasa and his disciples arrived and asked to arrange food for them Pandavas were in exile, they had all finished their meal, there was no food to serve them Draupadi had also finished her meal.<\/p>\n

        They became anxious. Draupadi prayed to Lord Krishna for help. He appeared and asked her to bring the bowl. There was a grain of rice sticking, Krishna ate it. He was satisfied, his satisfaction turned to Durvasa and his disciples. All felt so fully fed and they never came to Yudhistira\u2019s house. The gist was if we had Lord\u2019s (God\u2019s) grace, we should overcome troubles.<\/p>\n
