Successor –
It was a big kingdom in North Part of
India.King Rajshekhara Singh was ruling it.He ruled very nicely.Did all works
for the welfare of his people.His wife queen Deepika died long time ago and
they had have no child.King’s complete concentration was only on good
works,like making schools,Hospitals,Inns,Temples and facilities for agriculture
and their small businesses. His Prime
minister Saumitra Dev was also a Man without family a little bit younger to
King,and very loyal to the King and Kingdom.
King Rajshekhar ruled for thirty long
years,with his help.Now he was above eighty,and one day he fell seriously ill.The
Royal Vaidya {Doctors}tried to save him by all means but failed,The whole state
was feeling great grief,A big question arose in front of Prime Minister
Saumitra Dev—Now Who will rule ? Who would be the Successor ? He wanted to find
a perfect Successor for the Throne.
At last a great Idea Clicked in his
mind.After one Month there will be a religious Fair in the capital,People from
different parts come to pray in the GODDESS Temple,which was inside the Palace
boundary, and doing shopping ,enjoying swings and to have fun.He himself put
one quite heavy stone at the middle of the Temple’s stairs,A day before the
Fair.
He was sitting near a window inside
the Palace,He could see the stairs and the stone.People started coming for
prayers from early morning.It was very tough to cross that stair on which the
stone was laying.but every one was crossing it any how.Saumitra Dev was
continuously watching.In the afternoon a
Young man came and started climbing the stairs,He saw the stone,he picked it up
without wasting a single minute,came down ,threw it away and then came and
climbed again to pray.Saumitra Dev sent a messenger and called him.He was a fruit seller named Naamdev,
alone in the world,living in a small hut.Saumitra Dev asked him to come next
day in the court.Next day,Saumitra Dev described and asked suggestions from all
other ministers,they all agreed,They declared him as the next King.State People
also agreed,as Naamdev was a known name for social help to every one in
need.This way Naamdev was Crowned after one week with great celebration in
complete state.Saumitra Dev Found the Successor of the Throne.
