                The main object and prophecy of the “Krishna Avathar’ was ended after killing the tyrant ‘Kamsa’ the king of Madhura. Madhura was in the Back of River ‘Yamuna’ on the same riverbed, the kings Dom of pandvas were also situated. The distance would be more than a hundred miles to wards west. The city called “Indraprastha” was the capital of pandavas. Prince DhrmaRaj being the elder and the younger brothers were four in number. ‘Bheema’ ‘Arjuna’ ‘Nagula’ and ‘Shaha Deva’. Since the king pandu was the father of these five sons, they were called as pandavas. They had cousins dhuriyodhana and his brothers. Father Thrutharastra and the sons were having their own king Dom. All these family members were belonging to ‘Kshtrya’ the honoured caste of warriors in those days.

              Dhuriyodhna and his brothers were having jolousyin their inner heats. When prince Arjuna and prince Bheema were very skillful in their career of was tecahningue like wrestling and handling the Bow with arrow, the cousins Dhuriyodhana and his brother were lacking far behind. Their teacher was the great “Dhronachari”.

              Sri Balarama and Sri Krishna visited to this country and made a visit to the hermitage of “Dhronachari”. They were all close realatioes indeed. Dhuriyodhana paid a warm welcome and treated with “Padha Booja” to Sri BalaRama, being the elder person to sri Krishna(padha pooja a heartfelt honour to the elders by washing their feet upon a plantain leaf and worship their feet) they then went to the palace of  Thrutha Rashtra as well as to the palace of Pandavas. “Kundhi Devi” the Mother of pandavas welcomed Sri Krishna and Sri Balarama. It was only a jorney and visit as they where close relatives.

After the Kamsa’s death, Sri Krishna and Sri Balarama went to dwell in forest for the study of war affairs and governing of country, under the studentship of a reverend teacher who taught them all the dessons and made the diciples as good scholars and experts. It took several years for their proper education. While they returned all of the family including sister “Subadhra” went to Dwaraka. All the yadavas and Gobikas were also want along with Sir Krishna to Dwataka where the atrocities of Asurar and demons could be minimised. Sri BalaRama hed the opportunity to mary the two sisters of the king Dom of Dwaraka. The king of Dwaraka was old and he had no mate children. Dwaraka was in ‘Koorjara’ about one thousand miles towards south west direction of indraprestha. Since rasudeva, the father of Sri Krishna was the most justful and kind hearted person to deal with governing of the country. He was assigned as the king of Dwaraka.Sri Vasu dwa and Devaki only the real father and mother who birth to Sri Krishna. After the prophecy of putting an end to the tyrant king ‘Kamsa’Vasudeva and Devaki had to live only in Madhura – They had a female child called “Subadhra” Sri Krishna’s own sister. The marriage of Sri Krishna and sow. Rukmini took place at Dwaraka only. The family life of Sri Krishna and Rukmini was well with happiness.

Nobility of Rukmini

                      Even though Rukmini had all the Royal Honours being the wife of Sri Krishna, she was pious and service minded to elders and other servants too. She paid good attention in taking care of all the elders, Sri Vasudeva, Devaki, Sri Balarama and his wives. The family was growing big and the burdons were more. She attended for all the needs of her husband ‘Srikrishna’.

                    Her kindness and the duti consciousness were noticed by all the people in palace. She never had the fulings of a danghter of a big King dom. She showed her gratitude to goddess ‘Durga’. Only at her temple, divinely happenings of meeting of Sri Krishna took place and she became the affectionate wife of Sri Krishna.

                   While the days were passing in a fine atmosphere, the marriage affair for “Subhadra” her sister-in-law came. Vasudeva deicussed the matters with ministers in the court hall and asked them to give proper suggestion in choosing a Bridegroom for “Subhadra”.

                    Sri Balarama stood first and gave his opinion about Thuriyodhana the son of Thrutharastra. The ministers could not give any alternative suggestion in the court hall. Sri Krishna also felt helpless, since his brother’s wish was different.

                    ‘Subhadra’ was actually in love with ‘Prince Arjuna’. She had the good accounts of Arjuna and heard much about his skills through her circle of friends. Brother Balarama was not fully aware of the cunning charactors of the sons of Thruthavasthra. There was one crooked minded man called “Saguni” who was actually spoiling the mind of dhurijodhana ‘Saguni’ was having the plan to ruin the family of pandavas.

                   ‘Subhadra’ was actually worried much and she had no willingness to marry ‘Dhuriyodhana’. Sri Krishna Know well about the desires of “Subhadra’. He soothed his sister and told the “time will come and her wishes will be fulfilled”.

Subhadra – Arjuna Kalyana

                Arjuna went on pilgrimage to many places and had the dips in Holly Rivers. He had the opportunity to learn more arts where he visited. On his travel, he had the news about the marriage proposals of ‘Subhadra’. Arjuna and SriKrishna were very close friends. When Arjuna come to Dwaraka, he was just like a Rishi with long hair and heard. He met Sri Krishna who took him to Sri Balarama and introduced him as a saint from riverbed Narmadha arjuna was given the chamber with facilities in the guest apartment.

               That day evening Arjuna met “subhadra” as in the form of saint. During their conversation ‘Subhadra’ came to know that she was with her proper person only.

                Balarama was on duties to attend the hamlets and other places for the civil work. He was not in palace at that time. Sri Krishna wanted to fulfil the desire of ‘Subhadra’. He arranged the marriage as “Kantharva”. A customs which prevailed in those days that the would be husband, should fix the ring, in the Ring finger of the choosen girl. Like wise the girl should fix it with the finger of male. This was called as Kantharva – Marriage.

                Sri Krishna decided to convince all his parents and brother. He gave a charriot with speedy horses to the couple.  The happy send off and the blessings were accepted by Arjuna who drove the chariot to wards the road for ‘indrupreatha’.

                 The soldiers immediately sent the message to Balarama who ordered his regiment to follow the charriot and bring them alive before him. Where the soldiers were chasing the way and reached the charriot, Arjuna handed over the charge of driving to ‘Subhadra’. She was expert in all the affairs like sword fight and hones riding. Arjuna tactfully controlled all the soldiers and proceeds ahead on the way to “Indraprestha’.

Sri Krishna then told about the desires of his sister to Balarama and explained him that the lovers should be blessed for a long and happy wedded life.
