Vaidharbhi Vasudev

Her broken heart

Krishna was proposing that Rukmini divorce him at a time when Rukmini already had many grown-up children. Therefore Krishna has the whole proposition to Rukmini who appeared to be something unexpected, because according to Vedic culture there was no such thing as separation of husband and wife by divorce. Nor was it possible for Rukmini to do so in advanced age, when she had many married sons. Each and every one of Krishna proposals appeared to Rukmini to be crazy, and she was surprised that Krishna could say such things. Simple as she was, her anxiety was increasing more and more at the thought of separation from Krishna.

The Lord of darkness continued: "After all, you have to prepare yourself for your next life. I therefore advise that you should select someone who can help you both in this life and in the next life, for I am completely unable to help you. My dear beautiful princess, you know that all the members of the princely order, including Shisupala Salva, Jarasandha, Dantavakra and even your elder brother Rukmi, are all my enemies; they do not like ne at all. They hate ne from the cores(bottom) of their hearts. They don't show so much of respect to other women where they go. All these princes were very much puffed up with their worldly possessions, and they did not care a fig for anyone who came before them. In order to teach them some lessons, I agreed to kidnap you according to your desire; otherwise I actually have no love for you, although you loved me even before the marriage."

"As I have already explained, I am not very much interested in family life or love life between husband and wife. By nature, I am not very fond of my family life, my wife, my children, my home and my opulences. As my devotees are always neglectful of all these worldly possessions, I am also like that. Actually, I am interested in my self-realization; that gives me pleasure, and not this family life."

After submitting his statement, Lord Krishna suddenly stopped.

The great authority Sukadeva Goswami remarks that Krishna had almost always passed his time with Rukmini, and she was a bit proud to be so fortunate that Krishna had never left her even for a moment. Krishna, however, does not like any of his devotees to be proud. As soon as a devotee becomes so, by some tactic( strategy), he cuts down that pride. In this case also, Krishna said that many things which were hard for Rukmini to hear. She could only conclude that although she was proud of her position, Krishna could be separated from her at any moment.

Rukmini was conscious that her husband was not an ordinary human being. He was the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the master of the three worlds. By the way he was speaking, she was afraid of being separated from her Lord, for she had never heard such harsh words from Krishna before. Thus she became perplexed ( confused) with fear of separation, and her heart began to palpitate(to beat strongly). Without replying to a word of Kṛishna's statement, she simply cried in great anxiety, as if being drowned in an ocean of grief. She silently scratched the ground with the nails of her toes, which were reflecting reddish light on the ground. The tears from her eyes were pink, mixed with the black cosmetic ointment(kajal) from her eyelids. Her golden face was sweating and the waters were dropping down, washing the blood red kunkuma from her forehead. Choked up on account of great anxiety, unable to speak even a word, she kept her head downward facing the ground and remained standing just like a stick. Due to extremely painful fearfulness and lamentation(a sorrowful cry), she lost all her reasoning powers and became so weak that immediately her body lost so much weight that the bangles on her wrists became slackened(degree of strength). The camara rod with which she was serving Krishna immediately fell from her hand. Her brain and memory became puzzled, and she lost her consciousness. The nicely combed hair on her head scattered here and there, and she fell down straight, like a banana tree cut down by a whirlwind. She fell to the ground.
