\"\" Once upon a time, in Sri Nathji there was a great Vaishnav named Sri Jamuna das. One day he was going for darshan Sri Nathji. He chanced upon a flower man selling a beautiful flower. He decided to buy it for Sri Nathji as such a nice flower is meant for Sri Nathji only. \u00a0He \u00a0approached the seller to buy it, when all of a sudden there arrived a Muslim king. He too approached the flower man and asked the price of the same \u00a0flower. He intended to gift it to the nautch-girl he was going to visit that evening. \u00a0He knew that she had numerous visitors. However, he longed for her affection, and wanted her to reserve a special place for him in her heart. \u00a0Both asked the price at the same time. Initially the \u00a0price was 1 rupee, but suddenly it became the center of an auction, with Yamuna dasji and the Muslim nawab\u00a0 competing against each other, bidding higher and higher for that flower. \u00a0The wonderment of the flower-seller was increasing each moment. He was getting real excited, since it had never occurred to him that he would become so rich overnight. The price rocket and finally halted with Sri Yamuna das quoting 125000 rupees. He was firmly established in the belief that everything beautiful was meant for Sri Nathji and Sri Nathji alone. \u00a0At this point, \u00a0the \u00a0Muslim king backed out, \u00a0because he did not have true love for his girl friend; he thought , why to waste that kind of money for a mere woman ? And that too a prostitute? I think at long last, Sri Nathji gave him intelligence. \u00a0Also \u00a0the darshan-association of \u00a0such a great saint as Jamunadasji dragged such mercy from Sri Nathji ? Who can tell?<\/p>\n

Now, five hundred years back it was a huge amount, you see? \u00a0And Sri Jamuna das, out of his intense prem for Sri Nathji, did pay that price. \u00a0Sri Jamuna das brought that flower to Sri Nathji for Sringar that morning. The priest put that beautiful flower on the crown of Sri Nathji and the crown kept tilting all the while. So Sri Goonsai ji Maharaj asked Sri Nathji , “Why are you doing like this Kanha?\u201d Sri Nathji replied in all seriousness, ” I can not bear the weight of this flower – very heavy!\u201d Since that time and till today, \u00a0Sri Nathji ‘s crown is tilting.<\/p>\n

Later on Sri jamuna das sold all his assets and paid the money to the flower man. He was a such a great devotee of Sri Nathji.<\/p>\n
