Rukmini was no weak woman
A few days later some devotees from Los Angeles came and they were doing a play about Krishna kidnapping Rukmini. They had an issue because Rukmini was not Krishna's wife in real life. The script said that Krishna was supposed to pick Rukmini up by the hand to bring her up on His chariot. They were concerned that, "How could this man touch her hand if they were not married to each other?" When they asked Srila Prabhupada if it was okay, he gave an interesting response. He said, "Rukmini was no weak woman. She got on the chariot by herself and she was driving it while Krishna was shooting arrows off the back." That was his answer.
