When there was no matrimonial site.........


The other day I was reading a book on Osho literature. Osho was answering queries raised by his devotees. A particular query was raised about the Lord Krishna's marriage and his role in his sister's marriage. Lord Krishna abducted Rukmani to get married. He even played instrumental in his sister's marriage(SUBHADRA) as he had helped Arjuna to elope with his sister(aisa saala kaahan milaega).

Osho's reply was it is not right to compare today's world with that era. In those days, arranged marriages and horoscope matching were irrelevant. To prove one's masculinity, man would abduct the girl with her permission even girls of that era accepted such abductions. Suppose, a girl was not abducted it was considered as a slur. Even today, girls like the "comments" made by the guys sitting on the parapet of the wall of course, they would not accept it openly but they like these comments discreetly. Every girl likes to be taunted every man likes to make aggressive move this is nothing but natural phenomenon.

Its time for me to make arrangements for my elopement helo! any krishna out there to help me out......
