Jarasandha attacked Mathura 18th time with 23 akshauhinis

Krishna left the battlefield to attend to some urgent matter

Pretended to be afraid

Walked a long distance with His soft, lotus feet!

To attend to a confidential letter

Displayed supermost oppulence

The Lord became famous as Ranchor Raiji!

RenunciationA demon always tries to measure the opulence of Krsna, whereas the devotee never tries to measure His strength and opulence, but always surrenders unto Him and worships Him.

Relished by submissive aural reception

Story of Krishna’s marriage with Rukmini

King Bhishmaka had 5 sons and one daughter

Received may great sages, like Narada Muni

Thus Rukmini obtained information about Krishna

She surrenders just by hearing of His six opulences

Krishna wanted her as His wife for her qualities

Page 13: Krishna Leela Series - Part 47 - Krishna the Ranachora

Despite everyone’s desire Rukmi arranged her marriage with Sisupala

Rukmini was morose but decided to send a message to Krishna

She selected a truthful brahmana and sent him to Dvaraka

Page 14: Krishna Leela Series - Part 47 - Krishna the Ranachora

Brahmana received by Lord Krishna

Krishna gave him His golden throne

Worshipped him like the devas worship Krishna

After his meals, when he was resting Krishna massaged his feet

Enquired whether he was peaceful in mind

A brahmana should be self-satisfied, never disturbed

Even Indra has to transmigrate

A brahmana never takes job of shudra

Respected brahmanas & vaishnavas

Rukmini’s love letter

Just by hearing about You material pangs subside

You have captivated me and stolen my heart

I dedicate my life and soul at Your lotus feet

Please accept me as Your wife and take me away

You could kidnap her from the Durga temple

She knew even Lord Siva tries to obtain His favour

She desired to perform severe austeries life after life

Her marriage with Sisupala was fixed for next day

Please do something immediately!
