Sudama, a poor brahman, was known to be a friend of Krishna from childhood.
His brahmin wife always pestered him as to why he did not go to Lord Krishna to alleviate his poverty.
He was perplexed and pondered over how he could get re-introduced to Krishna, who could help him meet the Lord.
He reached the town of Duaraka and stood before the main gate (of the palace of Krishna).
Seeing him from a distance, Krishna, the Lord, bowed and leaving his throne came to Sudama.
First he circumambulated around Sudama and then touching his feet he embraced him.
Washing his feet he took that water and made Sudama sit on the throne.
Then Krishna lovingly enquired about his welfare and talked about the time when they were together in the service of the guru (Sandipani).
Krishna asked for the rice sent by Sudama’s wife and after eating, came out to see off his friend Sudama.
Though all the four boons (righteousness,wealth,fulfillment of desire and libereation) were given to Sudama by Krishna, Krishna’s humbleness still made him feel totally helpless.

Thereafter, all Sikh places of worship came to be known as gurdwaras.
