Rukmini - Tumblr Posts
She planed own her kidnapping to get away from a bad marriage and I love her for that
Guys you know who the og historical romance kidnapping girlie is?
Rukmini
Girl literally sent a secret message to Krishna to plz kidnap her on her wedding day to another man.
Kind of revisiting an old thought here for a bit, because it’s struck me once again how intense and unfathomable Vishnu’s love for Lakshmi really is; even if their relationship is occasionally fucked.

Can I add Rukmini, I’ve watched her episodes too many times to count. Also her and Krishna’s chemistry is unparalleled (imo at least)

Bro of all the people in RadhaKrishn, why is no one, ever on Rukmini’s side?
Lord Krishna and his wife were having a dialogue. Rukmani said, “I have loved you too, yet I wish I was your beloved and not your wife.” – Why? – Lord Krishna also asked, “Why?” Rukmani said, “However deep a matrimonial bond may be, the world always remembers the beloved. Radhe Krishna, Radhe Krishna…”
I’m going to rant about Rukmini real quick
Yk it really bothers me that Rukmini isn’t remembered as much as Radha is. Like I do not understand why she is so remembered when she was in Krishna life for only ten years, eleven at most. And he was ten or eleven when he left to kill Kansa, I highly doubt a toddler was romantically involved with someone like people say. That’s like the last thing on their mind.
Although some people believe that she didn’t exist and was made up by later texts since she wasn’t mentioned in Ved Vyas’ original texts. I personally believe this or that it wasn’t a romantic relationship at all, more of a devotion or friendship, she could’ve been been his babysitter or something and he really looked up to her since she was older than him, to the point that her marriage was fixed with someone else.
But it really bothers me that people remember her the more than other wives of Krishna. Especially when she was barley in his life compared other women. And it really bothers me that people don’t even know who Rukmini is. Rukmini deserved to be remembered along with Krishna just as much as Radha. She was the one who fell in love him without even seeing him or meeting him. She only had his stories that were told to her by other people. She was the one who left her family to be with him, risking never seeing them again. She was the one who planned the whole “kidnapping” because she knew that no one but herself would be able to save her from that marriage. She was the one who had endure the separation from her first child. She was the one who shared her husband with 16107 other women, it couldn’t have been easy. And she did it happily too, something no women today would be able to do. She was the one who took care of Dwarka when Krishna was off helping the rest of the world. She was the one who assumed the form of Mahalaksmi and blessed Sudama and his family with prosperity and beauty. She was the one who held the fort and after Krishna died she was the one who made sure everyone was safely on their way with Arjuna before committing sati. Some say that Dwarka only drowned after Rukmini committed sati because it couldn’t handle being separated from its Queen. After everything she only gets one temple in Dwarka dedicated to her and that away from Krishna’s temple too, when she was the queen of Dwarka while Radha is one of the deities in the Dwarkadhish Temple. Whenever I search up Rukmini and Krishna, Radha is always there, whenever I search up murtis of Rukmini and Krishna, Radha and Krishna are the first to show up. How is that fair?
She’s barely mention in those feminist retellings of the great women of Mahabharata/Hinduism or just videos/books that talk about the awesome/underrated/or misunderstood women in Hinduism, even Gandhari gets a mention but not Rukmini. Lakshmi is sometimes excluded too. I didn’t even know about Rukmini until my parents made me watch the B.R. Chopra Mahabharata over quarantine. I absolutely fell in love with with her and it just makes me upset how people don’t recognize her enough.
Rukmini deserves this too, she deserves all the stories, the songs, the bhajans, the shows, the movies and for her name to taken before Krishna. She deserves so much better and so much more.
Vishnu’s avatar’s subjects have a habit of mistreating his wife. I’ll forever be mad at Ayodhya for questioning Sita and than being all sad after she left them. Those fake bitches had it coming. I’ll forever be mad at society for not recognizing Rukmini enough for her her kindness, and generosity.
Kashibai was right, the lover will always be more remembered than the wife. (RadheKrisha, BaijraoMastani)
And this is not to say that I do not like Radha or anything like. This is just me expressing my feelings about the worlds treatment about how she and her love is treated they the society. I know that probably they didn’t care about being remembered or anything material like that, that she was just happy being with Krishna. But doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve it, in fact that is more a of a reason she should be remembered
girl invented manifesting before it was even a thing 🙌🛐
Rukmini : There will come moments when you have the chance to be honest with people.
Krishna : I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by.
guys if you’re looking for Rukmini-Krishna fanfics and can’t find any (because literally nobody appreciates them and Radha - Krishna has managed to eclipse all other meaningful relationships he ever had with anyone else DESPITE the two of them never being romantic???) I would absolutely recommend https://balaramerchela.wordpress.com/ by @demonkidpliz
