KRISHNA kidnapped RUKMINI-
Rukmini was the daughter of Bhishmaka, the king of Vidarbha.Another school of thought says that Rukmini was the daughter of King Bhismaka of Kundil in Upper Assam.Bhismaka was the vassal of King Jarasandha of Magadha.She fell in love with and longed for Krishna, whose virtue, character, charm and greatness she had heard much of. Krishna, likewise fell in love with Rukmini as she was the most sought after, virtuous and beautiful princess on Earth. Rukmini's eldest brother Rukmi though was a friend of evil King Kamsa, who was killed by Krishna, and was set against the marriage.
Rukmini's parents were going to marry Rukmini to Krishna but Rukmi, her brother strongly opposed and changed Bheeshmaka, their father's mind. Rukmi was an ambitious prince and he did not want to earn the wrath of Emperor Jarasandha,who was ruthless.Instead, he proposed that she be married to his friend Shishupala, the crown prince of Chedi.Shishupala was also a vassal of Jarasandha and hence an ally of Rukmi.
Bheeshmaka gave in but Rukmini, who had overheard the conversation was horrified and immediately sent for a brahman, Sunanda, whom she trusted and asked him to deliver a letter to Krishna. She asked Krishna to come to Vidarbha and kidnap her to avoid a battle where her relatives may be killed. She suggested that he do this when she was on her way to the temple or back. She asked that he claim her to marry her. She also added that if Krishna refused to comply she would commit suicide. Krishna, having received the message in Dwarka, immediately set out for Vidarbha with Balarama, his brother.
Meanwhile, Shishupala was overjoyed at the news from Rukmi that he could simply go to Kundina and claim Rukmini. Jarasandha, not so trusting sent all his vassals and allies along because he felt that Krishna would certainly come to snatch Rukmini away.
Bheeshmaka and Rukmini received the news that Krishna was coming by their respective spies. Bheeshmaka, who secretly approved of Krishna and wished he would take Rukmini away had a furnished mansion set up for him.
He welcomed them joyfully and made them comfortable. Meanwhile, at the palace, Rukmini got ready for her upcoming marriage. She went to the shrine to pray but was severely disappointed when she did not see Krishna there. Inside the shrine, she prayed to Goddess Parvati that Krishna would arrive and wed her. As she stepped out, she saw Krishna and he soon swept her into his chariot with him. They both started to ride off when Shishupala noticed them. All of Jarasandha's forces quickly started chasing them. While Balarama occupied most of them and held them back Rukmi had almost caught up with Krishna and Rukmini.
Krishna and Rukmi duelled with the inevitable result of Krishna's victory. When Krishna was about to kill him, Rukmini fell at the feet of Krishna and begged that her brother's life be spared. Krishna, generous as always agreed but as punishment, shaved Rukmi's head and let him go free. There was no greater shame for a warrior than a visible sign of defeat.
A few days later at Dwaraka, Krishna was married to Rukmini with great pomp and ceremony...

hari bol...Krishna is the kidnapper of hearts of pure devotees.He kidnaps it by attracting everyone by his name Krishna and beautiful attractive looks.His three fold bending form with two hands playing flute plays important part in attracting devotees.His shyam colour,curly hair ,beautiful attractive big eyes pleasant smile steals devotees hearts.his peacock feathered crown and yellow pitamber is the height of attraction.I think one who seriously gets attracted by these assets of Krishna surrenders himself to Krishna .The attraction is so fatal that devotee ends his material life and may never return back to home.And this is the most beautiful question ever on yahoo.

I pity you that you do not know about him even if you know about him. You do not know when to call female kidnapped and when not to. If a female is willing to elope with her lover then this is not a kidnapping. This is a rule till today .
God Krishna never was bothered about the demonic people's thoughts during his lifetime. He had many aims to fulfill during his lifetime for which he took incarnation.
So even today if people like you likes to make his name or his works impure he is not concerned.
A common man can be advised not a demonic people with evil minds.

Krishna kidnapped the Princess Rukmini and married her after fighting a battle with Prince Rukmi.
But down to earth, he has kidnapped our peace and laid back attitude, and has made us strive for a better life by capturing our hearts with the melody of his eternally sweet flute!
