Rukmini, the princess of Vidarbha, knew her heart belonged to Krishna. But her brother Rukmi had arranged her marriage to Shishupal against her will. Time was running out, and the only hope she had was to reach Krishna.
With the help of a trusted messenger, Rukmini wrote a letter straight from the heart. She poured her love and worry into every word, urging Krishna to come and rescue her before the wedding took place.
She wrote, "O Krishna, if you truly care, come before it's too late. Take me away from this fate. I know only you can save me."
She handed the letter to a loyal Brahmin and prayed for its safe delivery. Her faith in Krishna was unshakable, even as the palace buzzed with preparations for the wedding.
The moment Krishna read the letter, he understood everything. Without a moment's delay, he gathered Balarama and left for Vidarbha. Rukmini's courage, devotion, and love had touched him deeply. She wasn't just calling out to him-she was trusting him with her life.
This message was the beginning of a love story that became one of the most cherished tales in Indian mythology.
