Why did Lord Krishna kidnap Rukmini? Why are You telling us to stay at home?

[A question by Smt. Lakshmi Lavanya K]

Swami replied:- Rukmini is Goddess Mahalakshmi and Krishna is Lord Narayana. Both are already an eternal divine couple. Both husband and wife acted in this drama following their selected roles. Let us forget the background and let us see both of them as human beings. Rukmini loved Krishna and hated Shishupala. Even her parents were pleased with the marriage of Rukmini to Krishna. Her devilish brother Rukmi opposed this and forced her to marry Shishupala. Is a brother competent to decide the future of a girl more than her parents and herself? Hence, even as per the drama assumed to be true, such situation is meeting perfect justice. If you are also in such a special situation, sitting at home is the climax sin.
