I believe that Devi Bhagvatam has that as well, although I'd have to dig to find out where, given that the chapters are rather unmarked

DOUBTS.

She was married to the demon-king jalandhar. Due to her piety and devotion to Vishnu(narayana), her husband became invincible. Even god Shiva,the destroyer in the Hindu Trinitycould not defeat Jalandhar and fight goes between god shiva and demon jalandhar went for many years, So Shiva(supreme god) requested Vishnu - the preserver in the Trinity. - to find a solution. Vishnu disguised himself as Jalandhar and violated Vrinda. Her chastity destroyed, Jalandhar was killed by Shiva. Vrinda cursed Vishnu to become black in colour and he would be separated from his wife. Thus, he was transformed into the blackshaligram shilasand in his Ramaavatar, his wife Sitawas kidnapped by a demon-king and thus separated from him. Vrinda then burnt herself on her husband's funeral pyre or immolated herself due to the shame. The gods or Vishnu transferred her soul to a plant, henceforth which was called as Tulsi. As per a blessing by Vishnu to marry Vrinda in her next birth, Vishnu in form of Shaligram - married Tulsi on Prabodhini Ekadashi. To commemorate this event, theceremony of tulasi bivah/vivah/marraige ceremony is performed.</

Wasnt tulsi, radha, rukmini also an incarnation of goddess lakshmi ? ? and plz tell me that vishnu doesnt violate anyone !? As both a shiv and vishnu bakht i find it shocking

By Violating-it means that VishnuJi took form of Vrindas husband Jalandhar,and stayed with Vrinda for about a year...in those times a woman staying with another man-not her husband was regarded to be impure,hence by ruining her purity he manged to finsh jalandhar,so that is how he violated her!

Oh thanks for clearing it up. I thought the worst scenario

So radha is like another part of krishna like krishnas s power ? But she is not goddess lakshmi ? only rukmini was goddess lakshmi and radha was an essence of lord krishna ? Am i right in understanding this Edited by TimenTIMEagain - 12 years ago

What is Krita Yuga? Was it before the Satya Yuga? In one of the other thread someone mentioned that Shiv-Sati happened during the Krita Yuga!?! thanks.

Was Lord Shiva aware of the fact that Sati was actually the Shakti and that He was destined to marry Her one day? If so then why was He trying to avoid this fact esp Sati? Why?

<font face="'Comic Sans MS', Times, serif" size="3">Some also believe that wives of Krishna are only the reflections of Radha..they are the various moods of Radha..and Lord feels Radha's presence through them.</font>

<font face="'Comic Sans MS', Times, serif" size="3">It is believed that Radha took birth just to show the world that devotion towards Lord is above everything..it is the eternal love. just like Hanuman to Lord Rama.</font>

Anyone know the reason of ArdhaNareshvar. I mean did Lord Shiv appear as ArdhaNareshwar?  And why Shiv and Shakti had to be separated into two?
