Rajnath’s redemption journey
In
the town of Rajnagar, Rajnath was a well-respected man who secretly led a
double life as a skilled thief. By day, he was a hard-working tailor with a
reputation for kindness and integrity, even holding a position in the local
council. But by night, he transformed into a cunning burglar, stealing only
from far-off neighborhoods to keep his identity hidden.
As
his daughter’s wedding approached, Rajnath realized he needed a substantial sum
to cover the expenses. Despite many small attempts, he hadn’t achieved the
"big score" he sought. A devout follower of Goddess Vaibhava Lakshmi,
he prayed earnestly for one last, successful heist. That night, he entered a
modest home and stole a bundle, believing it to contain a fortune.
Unbeknownst
to Rajnath, he had stolen the life savings of a widow, Kamla, who had worked
tirelessly to save for her own daughter’s wedding. Distraught at the loss,
Kamla prayed to the goddess, heartbroken and hopeless.
The
next day, Rajnath had a vivid dream in which Goddess Lakshmi appeared, rebuking
him for his actions and demanding he return the widow’s bundle. Startled awake
and filled with remorse, he immediately returned the bundle, confessing his
guilt and asking for forgiveness. Grateful, Kamla blessed him, and Rajnath left
with a sense of relief and gratitude.
Returning
to his shop, Rajnath was surprised by a visit from the groom’s father, who
revealed that a recent windfall had eliminated his need for dowry. Inspired by
a dream, he proposed an immediate, simple wedding, much to Rajnath’s amazement.
Grateful to Goddess Lakshmi, Rajnath vowed to give up his life of crime,
embracing honesty and devotion for good.
