The Divine Love of Lord Krishna and Rukmini: A Tale of Eternal Devotion
the timeless bond of Lord Krishna and Maharani Rukmini, the embodiment of Shri Vishnu and Mahalakshmi.Explore their divine love, Rukmini’s devotion, and the spiritual significance of their union as described in sacred texts like the Rukmini Ashtakam.
Krishna Loved shri Rukmini More then himself. Mata Rukmini is herself adishkati mahalakshmi and shri Krishna is himself Shri Hari VISHNU, So like Vishnu ji loves Mata Lakshmi, similarly Shri Krishna loves Maa Rukmini.
After reading Maharani Rukmini’s letter, shri krishna was impressed and he also knew that she was none other than goddess Lakshmi. So, after reading Rukmini ji’s letter, Krishna ji abducted her from Vidarbha and they both got married. Shri Rukmini Ashtakam mentions that she is dearer to lord Krishna than his own life-
नमः कमलमालिन्यै कमले कमलालये ।
जगन्मातर्नमस्तुभ्यं कृष्णप्राणाधिकप्रिये
Meaning- Salutations to you like a lotus, salutations to you who wear a garland of lotus flowers! O Mother of the universe, salutations to you who are dearer to Krishna than his own life!
She is the compassion of Shri Krishna-
त्वदन्या का गतिर्मातरगतीनां जगत्त्रये ।
कृष्णकारुण्यरूपा त्वं तत्क्षान्तिपरिवर्धिनी
Meaning- Who saves you for those who are without any shelter in the three worlds? You are the real compassion of Lord Krishna. You are the One who extends His forgiveness and forgives even the gravest of offences.
I don’t Know some andhabhakts like to compare her with KrishnaPriyas like Satyabhama ji, Radha ji etc. I have read many comments on youtube and quora that Satyabhama, Rukmini is nothing only Radha rani is Mahalakshmi and Three World Queen or some of them say that Radha rani was only a part of Shri Rukmini and she was only made by the people of kaliyuga etc etc. Also they say that they hate Rukmini/Radha or Satyabhama because she came in between the love of Rukmini/Radha/Satyabhama and Krishna. They don’t even know that they are also directly disrespecting Shri Krishna by insulting a Krishna Priya. I only want to say them that please stop doing this nonsense.
