Sri Rukmini Kalyanam is a very auspicious and
sacred event planned for the first time on Saturday,
February 04th 2012 at Shiva Vishnu Temple.
Rukmini is the incarnation Goddess Lakshmi for
pairing with Lord Krishna who is incarnation of
Lord Vishnu. Rukmi, the brother of Rukmini, tries
to get her married to Sisupala. Rukmini writes to
Lord Krishna and sends the letter through a
brahmin priest. Lord Krishna rushes to fetch
Rukmini and takes her to Dwaraka by defeating all
the kings. It is a practice in hindu families to make
unmarried girls/boys recite, listen, perform or
witness Rukmini kalyanam so that marriage gets
settled soon. Also they believe that power of recital
can make them get suitable spouses.
Please plan on participating in this auspicious event and receive divine blessings

Sri Rukmini Kalyanam has great religious significance. Sri Rukmini Kalyanam is part of
Dasama Skandam (10th canto or book) of great epic Maha Bhagavatham. Dasama Skanda of
Maha Bhagavatam is mainly focused on Sri Krishna Leelas. Lord Krishna who is treated
Paramatma himself (Krishnastu Bhagavan Swayam) incarnates among innocent people of
Nandavraja. He shows many leelas that are pleasure to hear to devotees.
Rukmini Devi represents the Jivatma which longs to attain the Paramatma and Lord Krishna
is the Paramatma. The 5 brothers of Rukmini represent the 5 senses. These five senses
always try to get us into worldly matters and away from God. When the quest for God is
true, the Guru comes by Himself and takes the message of the devotee to the Lord. If the
message is delivered by the Guru, the Lord Himself comes. Sri Rukmini Kalyanam is indeed
the merger of the Jivatma into the Paramatma.
