who is his friend. Marriage day was fixed and Rukmini was in distress. She wrote a letter to Lord Krishna stating that she
is in love with him and will be waiting near the Goddess Sakthi Temple on the day of marriage, so that he can come and pick
her up. She told that if the plan fails, then she would rather die than to marry sisupala. She gave the letter to Brahmin
and asked him to convey the news.The Brahmin went to Dwaraka and conveyed the news. In return, Krishna also told that he will
be coming and picking her up and there is no need to worry. As told, Rukmini on marriage day, after completion of her worship
towards Goddess Shakti waited near the entrance of the temple. Krishna came and took her off.Balarama was there with Krishna
and fought with the other kings who was chasing the couple. Krishna then fought with Rukmi, brother of Rukmini and tied his

- The Story of the Jewel Syamanthaka - Satrajith was a follower of Sun God. In order
to please his devotee, Sun God gave him a precious jewel named Syamanthaka. Krishna warned Satrajith about the jewel's safety.
But Satrajith did not mind his words. Oneday his brother prasena wore that jewel and went for hunting. He got killed by a
lion. But the talk of the town was about Krishna. People began to talk that Krishna had taken the jewel. To remove their false
views Krishna started in search of the jewel.
- Krishna's marriage with Jambavathi - He searched in the forest and found the truth
about the death of the prince. He found the jewel in the cave of Jambavan, the bear. It was with the princes Jambavathi who
is the daughter of Jambavan. He asked for the jewel and Jambavan refused to give it back. There was a big fight between Krishna
and Jambavan. Finally Krishna showed his true Lord Ramachandramurthy form in which Jambavan was pleased. He gave not only
the jewel to Krishna but also his daughter in marriage with Krishna.
- Krishna's marriage with Sathyabhama - Krishna then, returned the jewel to Satrajith.
Knowing the truth, Satrajith asked for apologise and gave his daughter Sathyabhama in marriage to Krishna.
- Destruction of Narakasura - Narakasura was a cruel Asura who is originally the son
of Goddess Bhooma Devi (Mother Earth). He got a boon stating that he can be killed only by his mother. He stole the earrings
from Adithi and made many women and men as captives. They all pleaded Krishna to save from the clutches of Narakasura. Krishna
along with Sathyabhama (who is the incarnation of Goddess Mother Earth) mounted on Garuda went to the demon's place. There
was an intense fight between the two and finally along with Sathyabhama the Asura got killed.
- Rescued 16,100 princesses - The princesses who were in the prison pledged Krishna
to marry them as he has saved him from the Asura. Krishna who is Paramatma married all of them.
- Story of Nriga - The princes of Dwaraka were playing in the garden. They found a
giant lizard and tried to pull it. But in vain they reported to Lord Krishna. He came and pulled it with ease. Once he touched
the lizard, it changed to Gandharva. The Gandharva is none other than King Nriga of Ikshwaku race. He was doing cows and calves
as Dhanam to Brahmins. Once there was a issue brought to his court. It was about the Dhanam of cows which he gave. By mistakenly
the cow which is already given as a Dhanam to a Brahimin oneday before was again given as a Dhanam to another Brahman on a
next day. Both the Brahmins were telling truth. The mistake was done unknowingly. The king died on the spot. At heaven, Lord
Yamaraj asked the king whether he would live as a lizard first as a result of doing mistake in the kingdom or first be in
heaven as a result of doing Dhanams. The king made his first choice of being born as a lizard and then to heaven for enjoying.
Thus told the story to Krishna Balarama and Yadavas, went to heaven. It was Krishna's Grace which made him to go to heaven.
- Paundraka Moksham
- Paundraka Vasudeva was an imposter of Krishna. He dressed up like Krishna and started treating Krishna
as a duplicate. Hearing this, Krishna marched with his army and killed that wicked king using his Powerful Sudarshana Chakra.

everyone.
- Slaying of Dwivida and Mainda - They were the monkeys who were helping Lord Rama
in his mission. Unfortunately, they had a very bad friendship with Narakasura. They took revenge against Krishna and went
to Balarama first to destory his place Anarta. There, they created lot of trouble. Seeing this Lord Balarama killed the monkeys.
