Yashoda's Innocence! - Page 4

It is written in shree madh bhagwat that

When arjun stay there out side palace of dwarika f 4 month during rainy season then after 4 month that is chaturmasa Lord balram invite arjun for dinner ( though Lord balram did not recognize arjun because arjun was in disguise form. Only krishna recognize arjun)

When arjun having dinner he saw subhdra and at that time subhdra also saw arjun and fell in love with arjun and wanting him to be husband

I have already in previous post that subhdra though fell in love with arjun but she did not close it

Coming to krishna it Is written many times in shreemaddh bhagwat that sometimes Lord krishna behave as human being like he don't know anything but actually he knows

Lord krishna is totally unimaginable

Even subhdra never express her feeling to arjun or any other family but still in heart she want arjun to be her husband

She wanted arjun as her husband that means she want arjun as her husband

If subhdra did not want arjun as husband then why will she wish arjun as her husband in heart

If subhdra did not want arjun to be her husband then she would have not wish in her heart arjun to become her husband

Subhadra falling in love with arjun and wanting arjun as husband clearly mention bwritten in shreemaddh bhagwat

Subhdra wanting arjun as husband mention in shreemaddh bhagwat canto 10 chapter 86 Text 7

As I mentioned above the feeling in heart isn't a criteria in deciding whether or not a marriage is Gandharva Vivah

I never denied that Subhadra didn't love Arjun at heart, I simply said she never expressed it

A marriage could be Gandharva Vivah only when the willingness to marry has been "Expressed" by both the parties. Since Subhadra had never expressed her feelings and Arjun didn't know that Subhadra loves him, hence his action will be only abduction and not Gandharva Vivah.

Irrespective of the inner feelings of Subhadra, in the absence of her expressing it, Arjun had abducted Subhadra and had a Rakshas Vivah.

Arjun didn't not have rakshas vivah

He come to dwarika and married to subhdra and balram gave both gifts

Lord balram was happy that means his sister is happy with marriage

It might be prajapatya vivah or bhram vivah if it not gandharv vivah

Vivah

Vasudev ( devki husband) must have done kanyadan of subhdra

If it is rakshas vivah then arjun would have not return dwarika and married

He would have forcibly married to subhdra somewhere in unknown place

Whether we go by SB or MB, Subhadra and Arjuna didn't have a "love" marriage. It was a kidnap, but the whole love story theory came from the chapter later on when Subhadra meets Draupadi after her marriage, and she indicates that she loves Arjuna. Her behavior is not at all like that of Amba, who was averse to getting kidnapped like her sisters by Bhishma. But whatever may be her feelings, it was a kidnap, and as per Krishna's instructions, Arjuna returns to Dwaraka after kidnapping Subhadra and gets properly married to her once Krishna appeases Balarama. They did not have a gandharva vivaha. SB also describes how after the marriage, the Yadavas do follow the newlyweds to Indraprastha where they spend some months with their relatives there. Vasudeva is mentioned as part of the entourage, as is Balarama.

So the whole theory of Vasudeva and Kunti never meeting each other doesn't make sense to me. There were ample opportunities, even if the text doesn't explicitly describe their names.

In this chapter in SB, Kunti does meet and talk to Vasudev

When Queen Kuntī saw her brother Vasudeva and other members of her family, she put aside her sorrow. Yet still she said to Vasudeva, “O brother, I am so unfortunate, because all of you forgot me during my tribulations. Alas, even one’s relatives forget a person whom Providence no longer favors.”

Vasudeva replied, “My dear sister, everyone is merely a plaything of fate. We Yādavas were so harassed by Kaṁsa that we were forced to scatter and take shelter in foreign lands. So there was no way for us to keep in touch with you.”

This also contradicts the theory - posted in the BRC forum - that Kunti had some underlying resentment towards her brother and her birth family
