Goddess Rukmini was the daughter of Bhishmaka – the king of Vidarbha. She was courageous and bold, she fell in love with Lord Krishna. She would rather die than lose Krishna. Rukmini was all set to marry Lord Krishna. Her Brother, Rukmi, strongly denied strongly their marriage and changed Bhishmak mind. Rukmi wanted his sister Rukmini to get married to his friend Shishupal-(the crown prince of Chedi and the son of Shrutakirti who was the sister of Kunti). Rukmini came to know about the plan of not letting her marry Krishna. She wrote a very beautiful Pranaya Nivedan letter to Krishna. The letter was delivered and recited by a Brahman named Sunand.
