Brothers Joge and Bhoge though living separately loved and respected each other.
Joge's wife was proud of their Wealth.
Bhoge's wife was however down to earth and very simple.
Joge's wife wanted to perform Shradh for ancestors but Joge was not interested.
But Joge's wife didn't want to miss the opportunity to impress the villagers with her wealth by throwing a feast in the name of Shraadh.
She invited Bhoge's wife too. But this was done to make Bhoge's wife do all the work of cooking, cleaning, etc.
Bhoge's wife being dutiful, came early morning to Joge's house, prepared all the dishes, cleaned the place, and after completing her work went to her own to perform Shradh in her own house.
Bhoge's wife knew there was nothing at home.
Absolutely nothing at home.
Even to lit diya she didn't had oil or wick.
Even agarbatti she had only 1 !!!
With this single agarbatti she went to temple to lit the stick.
Once the agarbatti was lit, she came running home to do pooja before the agarbatti ran out of energy.
Soon it was noon and the Ancestors from Heaven came to Earth.
They first went to Joge's house and were shocked to see Joge's in-laws enjoying food instead of offering it to the Ancestors.
Disappointed they then went to Bhoge's house but were again disappointed as poor Bhoge's wife had nothing at home and had just lit an agarbatti in the name of the Ancestors.
The shocked and disappointed ancestors licked the ashes of the agarbatti and went to the river bank hungry.
In the evening, all the Dead Ancestors gathered and started praising their respective families for the offering made during the Shraadh.
The ancestors of Joge-Bhoge too narrated their ordeal.
The ancestors then felt that the good-hearted Bhoge family at least offered them something and if Bhoge family had the capacity, they would have definitely given more.
So they blessed Bhoge "Bhoge Ke Ghar Dhan Ho Jaye" (Let there be Widespread Wealth in Bhoge's house).
MEANWHILE,
In poor Bhoge's house, Bhoge's children did not have anything to eat and it was already evening.
They started pestering their mother to give them SOMETHING to eat.
Frustrated Bhoge's wife said, "Go and see in the tank, turn it upside down, whatever you get, you can have it".
When the children turned the Pot, they were shocked to see it FULL OF GOLD COINS.
Excited they called their mother and when Bhoge's wife came running and saw this, she too was shocked beyond belief.
Gradually Bhoge family used this Wealth to do business and become more Wealthy.
They did not become arrogant and remained simple-hearted.
When the next year Shraadh came, Bhoge prepared 56 varieties of dishes for the ancestors.
Bhoge family invited Brahmins, served a delicious variety of Food, and gave a lot of Dakshina including Gold and silver.
The Brahmins and of course, Bhoge's ancestors blessed the Bhoge family full of heart to be HAPPY AND CONTENTED FOREVER.
So, go ahead and donate with a full open heart this Pitru Paksha and get blessed.
All the best,
May you stay blessed, happy, and contented.
