श्रीरुक्मिणीचरणारविन्दार्पणमस्तु।

KRISHNA : [carrying all the groceries]

RUKMINI : [reaches hand to help]

KRISHNA : [aggressively moves all bags to one hand to hold Rukmini's hand]

Time skips

A young boy nearly the age of Arjun appears out of no where and asks Kamala for food and introduces himself as Krishna. Kamala being kind hearted offers him food and asks his about his family. When he replied that he has no family Kamala invites him to stay as a family.

Arjun accepted Krishna and began to call him Bhaiya and introduced him to his friends especially Rukmini. Rukmini was the only daughter of village Zamindar who was a rich person. After Rukmini's mother died, her father appointed Kamala to take care of her and paid her for that. Rukmini suffered from mental illness and mostly kept to herself not talking much. She began addressing Kamala as Dhai maa and she loved her too. 

Rukmini and Krishna soon became good friend and started spending time together. Krishna never refused Rukmini anything and fulfilled all her wishes. Time flew and they began falling in love with each other. 

A small story started by me.

सिञ्जनूपुरशोभिपादकमलां मदस्मितोयन्मुखीं कञ्जाक्षीं कुचभारभीरुविलसन्मध्यां कणत्कङ्कणाम् ।

शंभ्वायैः परिसेवितां सुबसनां जाम्बूनदालंकृता- मम्बां तां प्रणतोऽस्मि कृष्णरमणीं लम्बालकां रुक्मिणीम् ।।

I salute that mother Rukmini, the most beloved consort of Lord Krishna, who has hanging forelocks & lotus- like feet that shine with the tinkling anklets. Her face is lit up with a gentle smile. Her eyes are lotus like & her lustrous waist is rather thin (or timid) due to the heaviness of the breasts. Her bangles tinkle in her arms. She is devoutly worshipped by all the gods with Brahma at their head. She is dressed in beautiful (auspicious) clothes & decorated with gold ornaments.

SUBH RUKMINI HARAN EKADASHI🪷

(for the ones who dont know)

A lot of people only know about Rukmini Haran, but Harivamsa (Mahabharata) also gives a detailed account of Rukmini Svayamavar, to which the Yadavs weren't invited. However, Krishna being dramatic as usual (especially for his Shris) decided to disrupt the occasion. Apparently, he was so formidable and intimidating that even the Kings participating in the event requested King Bhishmak to wed Ma Rukmini to Krishna right now in order to pacify him. But as we know, Kanha lets Shri decide the auspicious time for their divine union. (btw Krishna is still in Mathura i.e, Dwarka isn't built just yet.)

Shri Krishna then proceeds to give a speech to the entire Royal court revealing the true nature of Shri Rukmini as Parashakti who has descended on earth upon the request of Brahma and other gods. Being the supreme goddess herself, she deserves only to be wedded to the Supreme lord and not to some mortal king.

" Lord Krishna: O king, I reveal to you an eternal truth, devoid of any deceit. Your daughter Rukmini, upon hearing my words, shall determine the most auspicious course of action. For, at the behest of Brahma himself, she has incarnated in your household as Rukmini, she is the supreme goddess Shri herself "

"She transcends mortal existence, and her presence at the svayamvar amidst human kings would be travesty. As the supreme Goddess, her dharma dictates that she unite with the supreme one alone."

BONUS:

*swoons with you*

*Kanha also swoons hearing about his beloved Rukmini*

Obeisance to Lord Krishna, who is both the abode and the indweller of all beings! Though reputed as born of Devaki, he is really the eternal and ancient one. Surrounded by the attendants of the Yadu clan, he destroyed the forces of adharma by the prowess of his arms. He redeemed all beings, animate and inanimate, from their sins. By his benign and smiling countenance, he inspired divine love in the hearts of the gopis and gopas of Vraja and Mathura.
