Pinky Sharma Krishna Marriage: In today’s era, people take many types of decisions regarding relationships, but some decisions are so unique that their discussion goes far. One such case came to light from Badaun, Uttar Pradesh, where a girl named Pinky married the idol of Lord Krishna. This was not a joke, illusion or pretense, but the result of Pinky’s deep faith, trust and feelings. Pinky has been immersed in Krishna devotion since childhood. For him, Krishna is not just God but the support of his life. She always said that she would get married only when Krishna gave her the signal. People thought this was just his feeling, but a trip to Vrindavan turned his thinking into reality. Suddenly a gold ring fell in his palm amidst the crowd at Banke Bihari Temple. Pinky felt that this was the biggest sign of her life as if Krishna himself had accepted her. This moment brought a new chapter in his life.
When the family heard her, they were surprised at first, but seeing Pinky’s determination, they supported her. The people of the village also respected this decision and then a unique marriage took place, which attracted everyone’s attention.
This story is not just about marriage, but about a girl’s faith, courage and openly accepting her feelings.
Who is Pinky?
28 year old Pinky Sharma of Badaun is considered to be bright in studies and calm by nature. She has done post graduation in English from Chandausi College. The family does farming and puja is performed daily at home. Pinky’s childhood was spent in devotion to Lord Krishna. Family members say that she always felt relaxed in going to the temple and talking to Krishna.
Pinky’s father Suresh Chandra Sharma says that he has been going to Vrindavan with the entire family for the last several years. The environment there had become a part of his life. Pinky was looking for a job after completing her studies, but she was always clear about marriage i.e. finding a groom. She used to say that her life partner would be only the one chosen by Krishna.
Then came that day which completely changed his thinking. The family had reached Banke Bihari temple. There was a lot of crowd, but Pinky was standing very quietly with her palms open. Then from somewhere a gold ring along with the Prasad fell into his palm. To people this might have seemed a normal incident, but for Pinky it was a sign from Krishna. At that very moment a deep confidence emerged on his face.
On returning home, Pinky told her parents that now there was no need to find a groom for her. She will marry Krishna only. This was not easy for the family to hear, but they respected her wish, because they knew that Pinky did not take her decision lightly. The discussion spread in the village and people felt strange in the beginning, but gradually they also started accepting this decision. Then it was decided that the marriage would take place with great pomp in the village itself.
When the procession came out in the evening, it was indeed a unique scene. About 100–150 people reached Pinky’s house with the idol of Krishna. Drums were playing, colorful lights were put up and the entire village had gathered to watch this unique event.
Pinky came dressed like a bride. She garlanded the idol of Krishna and sat in the pavilion and took seven rounds in front of the fire. The rituals were performed exactly as they are in normal weddings. The family hosted the meal and the guests gave blessings.
After marriage, Pinky said, “I have left everything to Krishna. He will decide what my future will be like.” Her father believes that even though he is not very rich, he will try to buy a small house for Pinky in Vrindavan, so that she can live amidst his devotion.
At present, Pinky is living with her elder sister and brother-in-law. In this symbolic marriage, the brother-in-law was considered the representative of the groom’s side. This entire incident may seem like a fairytale, but for Pinky and her family it is the result of completely true feelings. No matter what people think, Pinky has shown the courage to live her life on her own terms.
