The Divine and His Dear Devotee
There was in Bengal a devotee named Madhavadasa, who, when his wife died, realised that he had lost his “home,” for his grihalakshmi (goddess of prosperity) had passed away. So he gave all his riches to the poor, donned an ochre robe and wandered alone as a pilgrim to the shrine of Lord Jagannath (another form of Lord Krishna) of Puri in the state of Orissa , India .
