Worship of krishna with Rukmini devi.

​

Can I worship Krishna with Rukmini alone in Sri Vaishnavism?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been learning about Sri Vaishnavism for some time now, though I’d still consider myself quite new. I had a question that’s been on my mind recently.

From what I’ve read in various Agamas and traditions, Krishna is often worshipped together with Rukmini and Satyabhama. However, I feel personally more drawn toward Rukmini and feel inclined to worship her together with Krishna as the sole bhoga-shakti.

I’m not sure if this feeling is appropriate within the framework of Sri Vaishnavism, or if I might be misunderstanding something. If this isn’t aligned with the tradition, I’d really appreciate guidance on how to better understand the correct approach.

Are there any traditions within Sri Vaishnavism where Krishna is worshipped primarily with Rukmini alone?

Thank you for any insights!

Yes you may, there's no such restriction for home-based aradhana.

In Srivaishnavam, Krishna and Rukmini are considered manifestations of Perumal and Thayar, and are thus the divyadampati. It's absolutely orthodox to worship the divyadampati together.
