Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa's parables are famous and cherished. Little glimpses from the Master's life often read like parables themselves. One such, narrated as a Chinna katha (little story) by Sri Sathya Sai of Puttaparthi, has been republished in the Sai organization's Heart to Heart on line publication this morning. It is my privilege to share it with all of you.

Once in Calcutta (now Kolkata), in the Kali temple constructed by Queen Rasmani, an idol of Lord Krishna fell down and the foot of the Lord was broken a little.
