Jai Rukmini Dwarkadhish!

--

On this occasion, let's get to know how their first meeting was!

--

Very few people know about the first meeting of Rukmini Krishna that was even before the ghatnakram of Rukmini Haran!

--

Rukmini Mangala states, once in the month of Savan, which is the fifth month of Hindu Calendar, on the auspicious day of Teej Devi Rukmini was going to take a bath in the holy river with her ashtasakhis.

When she went deep into the river, suddenly the flow increased at a level that Devi Rukmini started drowning in it. That was when, a man with a dark complexion held her hand and took her out of the river.

Yes, he was none another than Dwarkadhish Shri Krishna himself!

On that auspicious day, for the first time in this birth of theirs, in Dwapar yuga, both Narayan and Mahalakshmi saw eachother!

Shri Rukmini Mangala further states that Shri Krishna asks Devi Rukmini which state she is the princess of, where has she incarnated.

Replying, Devi says she's the princess of Vidarbha belonging to kshatriya clan and the daughter of the king of Kaundanyapur Bhishmaka. 

Later after coming back, Devi Rukmini tells her mother about this meeting.

~~

The second meeting takes place in Rukmini Swayamvar as mentioned in Harivamsa Purana. Shri Krishna tells King Bhishmaka about them being Shri Hari and Devi Rukmini themselves! Addition to that, he even shows him the Mahashakti form of Devi Rukmini.

But, we know that the Swayamvar had to cancel due to several reasons. At the same time forcefully Devi's brother, Rukmi fixed her marriage with Shishupala.

That is when Devi Shri wrote the world's first love letter to Shri Krishna even sending him the ring of Tretayug!

Rukmini Mangala states, on seeing the ring, Shri Krishna remembers their previous birth as Shri Sita Ram.

Shri Rukmini had complete knowledge of her being Mahalakshmi and Devi Sita in her previous birth!

Thus, Rukmini Haran takes place and Devi Rukmini becomes the first queen of Dwarka!

Meet you in the next one!
Jai Rukmini Dwarkadhish!
