    Radha Krishna
    Not Rukmini Krishna

    Radha was Krishna
    Companion

    Rukmini was Krishna
    Consort

    Radha got the Love

    Rukmini got the Status

    We all remember

    Radha Krishna
    Radha Krishna
    Radha Krishna

    But what about
    Rukmini

    What did
    She Get?

    She Eloped
    To Marry Krishna
    Instead of
    Villain Duryodan

    Rukmini is Wife
    Wife is Life

    Alas Krishna
    Transcends Life

    Love can only Match
    Eternity

    Hence we Chant

    Radha Krishna
    Radha Krishna


    Is is possible to
    Be both
    Radha who is Showered
    With Love
    AND
    Rukmini who is Showered
    With Respect

    How can Eagle
    Choose One
    Wing over
    The Other

    Yet we Chant
    Yet we Pray
    Yet we Worship

    Radha Krishna
    Radha Krishna
    Radha Krishna

    The word courtesan is quite derogatory and Radha wasn't that nor was Rukmini supposed to marry Duryodhana. It was Shishupal.

    Courtesian is used to mean having lady who has relationship but is not married.

    Not meant to be derogatory in this context.

    In any event, I changed it to something closer in meaning.


    In Mahabharat serial (1988 BR Chopra), it depicted Rukmini eloping with Krishna to escape Duryodan.
