Narakasura had raped thousands of women and imprisoned them. Narakasura's arrogance and tyranny crossed all limits. Then for establishing peace <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on">Krishna</st1:place> killed him. Freeing those unfortunate princesses, <st1:place w:st="on">Krishna</st1:place> informed their parents, not even one came forward to take them back. After many days in the custody of Narakasura, no prince - not even the humblest man will take their hand in marriage. In such circumstances, there is no alternative but suicide. Together all these ladies approached <st1:place w:st="on">Krishna</st1:place> for shelter. <st1:place w:st="on">Krishna</st1:place> invited all the princes of the world and asked them to marry these princesses. Everyone turned down <st1:place w:st="on">Krishna</st1:place>'s request. Krishna assured the princesses that they could find shelter in Dwaraka.They argued with <st1:place w:st="on">Krishna</st1:place> that they could also get food, clothing and shelter in Narakasura's prison but this will not bring them back to have social status.Falling at Krishna's feet, these princesses request <st1:place w:st="on">Krishna</st1:place> to save their honor by accepting them. <st1:place w:st="on">Krishna</st1:place> respected these souls and married them. By accepting these princesses Krishna showed the world that it is not the body of a woman that was the woman, that a woman has a soul too. Though imprisoned in the body, the soul does not become a prisoner. Even if the body is thrown into stinking hell, its sin does not rub off on the soul. Just because the body has been forcibly enjoyed the soul is not fallen. If the soul finds the means of salvation and follows the path of light, then it is without any mark, free, pure. Where souls unite, bodily relations become a minor matter. <st1:place w:st="on">Krishna</st1:place> loved their souls and they are all lovers of HIS soul. <o:p></o:p>
