SB 10.52.38: O Mukunda, You are equal only to Yourself in lineage, character, beauty, knowledge, youthfulness, wealth and influence. O lion among men, You delight the minds of all mankind. What aristocratic, sober-minded and marriageable girl of a good family would not choose You as her husband when the proper time has come?
SB 10.52.39: Therefore, my dear Lord, I have chosen You as my husband, and I surrender myself to You. Please come swiftly, O almighty one, and make me Your wife. My dear lotus-eyed Lord, let Śiśupāla never touch the hero's portion like a jackal stealing the property of a lion.
SB 10.52.40: If I have sufficiently worshiped the Supreme Personality of Godhead by pious works, sacrifices, charity, rituals and vows, and also by worshiping the demigods, brāhmaṇas and gurus, then may Gadāgraja come and take my hand, and not Damaghoṣa's son or anyone else.
SB 10.52.41: O unconquerable one, tomorrow when my marriage ceremony is about to begin, You should arrive unseen in Vidarbha and surround Yourself with the leaders of Your army. Then crush the forces of Caidya and Magadhendra and marry me in the Rākṣasa style, winning me with Your valor.
SB 10.52.42: Since I will be staying within the inner chambers of the palace, You may wonder, "How can I carry you away without killing some of your relatives?" But I shall tell You a way: On the day before the marriage there is a grand procession to honor the royal family's deity, and in this procession the new bride goes outside the city to visit Goddess Girijā.
SB 10.52.43: O lotus-eyed one, great souls like Lord Śiva hanker to bathe in the dust of Your lotus feet and thereby destroy their ignorance. If I cannot obtain Your mercy, I shall simply give up my vital force, which will have become weak from the severe penances I will perform. Then, after hundreds of lifetimes of endeavor, I may obtain Your mercy.
SB 10.52.44: The brāhmaṇa said: This is the confidential message I have brought with me, O Lord of the Yadus. Please consider what must be done in these circumstances, and do it at once.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S910MUTdEVk&feature=related for video from B.R Chopra Mahabharat where Rukmini writes letter to Krishna. It's really cute! aww...love Nitish Bharadwaj(Krishna) 's expression in each scene of the song...A must watch.
After reading my own post I m so thrilled and I desire a husband like Krishna! lol
ReplyDeleteIf I could write to him and he would become mine then I guess life would be a living paradise...

Ok guys...tonight i shall read this post! just dropped-in to say a "HAI"
@ILWK: yeah i will definitely come to the premier!!As a fact of coincidence, i have always wondered why movie makers have not made a film exclusively on Krishna-Rukmini 's romance...well, mayb bcoz the opportunity is left for prospective directors like u :)
ReplyDelete(i dont think i can direct, but i will volunteer to act In ur movie -lol!...and guess what? - i already have competition from LUEN!!)
Hi Tanvee,
ReplyDeleteWOW! Thanks a lot for posting it:-)) SO so romantic!!!! hmm \O beauty of the worlds/ --"Bhuvana sundara!!!"
The video was as well a treat!!!
The entire episode of Rukmini's letter , the wait, the fight, our hero winning her hand, them getting married....& shd I go further?....alright not here maybe lol...would have been soooooo sooooo beautiful!!!!!!!!! all that is even more than moksham or anything...:-)) just to express love to him in everyway possible and be immersed in njoying his love oh man!!!!! thats more than moksham yaar more than anything!!! Just once & even if killed like putana it shd be fine!!! I sometimes envy putana(bhutaki) too u know....wow! what a moment that wud have been!!!alright...man!!!!! tanvee...u r making me talk!!!!!
@tanvee: @LUEN Aka: hmmm..the directors will be the title characters themselves...but do i have it to b their instrument?? Only they know!
ReplyDeletei'm more of a prospective doc than a director...
As for the movie, the protagonist will be Rukmini...the movie will BE from her point of view, though we are going to show quite a lot of our dear hero...
as for the acting competition, count me in!
Dear Rukmini ama, will u cast all of us?
@Aka: All this talking! Surely, psp has something to do with it!
ReplyDeletei dunno whether or nt to blame tanvee, but psp-oh! defnitely.
@Tanvee: there was a ratha yatra for Kothai (whose story i'll fill u in with) and me and LUEN were there...together... :)
Yaaa Tanvee....we met & u know the funniest part is that we din't recognize each other back then(ILWK almost did though) we were infact standing so close to each other:-)) It was sooooo nice tanvee we kept singing "gopala Govindha Gopala" which is still echoing in my ears:-)) We did smile a lot to each other! We mailed each other & then only did we know that we were sooooo close there:-))) PSP is so majestic tanvee! I have never imagined him with mustache....he is soo very tall, handsome, & so majestic, rukmini is his consort in that temple-She is sweet too(asusual)!!! This yathra was for kothai(as infd by ILWK, her story is soooo very inspiring tanvee-have u heard? Krishna came in person & married her)
ReplyDeleteILWK- plsssss can u post it as an open blog? If u r busy let me grab that task from U hehe:-)))Oh ok u r busy is it??(ya i hear u!!don't yell at me!:-))) WE sooooooooooo soooooooooooo wish u were there 2 tanvee:-)))) I know u too wud feel the same (u must be missng him-i mean seeing his darshan, group bhajans such things-though HE is always with U) but hey don't feel lonely there(i know how it is t be there--kind of sucked as i missd my lord a lot there).We R all always there for U tanvee...we have no better business than talking abt him...so whenever u feel u miss him, write more & more about him and in all our exchange of comments, we can talk about HIM and kind of quench the thirst(ya of talking abt him).....
ILWK- u know how many times I wud have thanked U for inviting me to this wonderful forum(whn I was dam lonely without being able to even talk abt him)....I infact told our lord to give u few extra kisses(on my behalf) whn u guys get together..!!!:-)) he wud remember no matter how many births it takes:-) who knows perhaps it may happn in this very birth!!!!:-)))))))))))
how lovely u guys got to go see PSP! (together!!). I m sure it was a lovely moment to witness his majestic form...and yeah, I MISSED OUT :( bUT, all the same, I know He is Forever with me. Even if i forget to think of Him, He still thinks of me!! He cares for me soo soo much...beyond my own expectations. I may not always tell him, "I love You," but he doesnt miss a single chance to express hi love for his bhakt :)
ReplyDeleteOOh I dont know the full story so I will be glad to know it.Do write a post on it...will be waiting for that.(whoever writes it-ILWK or LUEN).
@LUEN: thanks so much for your caring words. Very much appreciated. And yeah, we shall definitely meet hopefully in this birth.It would be awesome!! The all Krishna Lovers Gang!
ReplyDelete@ILWK: lol u just joined in the competition!! wow...one krishna and 3 rukminis!!! So how can we work that out?....Maybe...options:
(1)Show Rukmini when she was a young teenager in one third, then as she grew to adore him in the second third, and then married him in the third part. In that way we can all play Rukmini :))
(2) make three separate films! Coz none of us are going to hand Krishna away so easily..haha.
@tanvee: @LUEN Aka: working on the Aandal post...to be released soon...
ReplyDelete@tanvee: Actually, DP will join the competition too...if only she was not so held up...that leaves us all with a dilemma...
ReplyDeleteHmmm...my solution for the Rukmini casting problem...
ReplyDeleteLet's make an animation movie!!
Where's Rukmini Maa and where are we?? We can never fill her shoes perfectly!
So, let's make an animation movie and split up on the voice overs like tanvee said.
We'll remain slaves in that palace of theirs, and guess what, She will lead us to Him.
You know how every Gopi thought she was dancing with Krishna?
How every wife of His thought she was with Him?
The same way...He has already taken a form for all of us...An exclusive form...
He's just waiting for us to come and claim Him!! :)))
Hahahaha- very nice options both tanvee & ILWK:-))))Good thinking both of U! PAT!!PAT!!
ReplyDeleteI bet Rukmini ka wud hold her tummy & laugh at us in a loving way!
Tanvee- Sure we all shd meet:-))) his grace!it'll be really nice!
ILWK- So grt to hear that ur working on the post...pls pls release it ASAP:-)))) ok sorry no pressure! :-)) Take ur time!! It'll be so nice to read about her...everyday in her life infact every sec, she inspired everybody with her hari bakthi....her deep love!!! wow! what to say!
"Karpooram narumo kamala poo narumo?????thiru pavazha chevvai thaan thithithuirukkumo?"
tats one of my fav...
@ILWK: //The same way...He has already taken a form for all of us...An exclusive form...
ReplyDeleteHe's just waiting for us to come and claim Him!! :))) //
