I am presenting a devotional song, ‘jai jai janani Shree Ganesh kee’ from Episode-28 of TV Serial, ‘Mahabharat’ (1988) which is rendered by Anuradha Paudwal in the words of Pandit Narendra Sharma. The song is picturised on Chana Ruparel in the role of Rukmini.
As a part of his political maneuver and the future alliance with the Vidarbha King Bhishmaka and the Chedi King, the Magadh King, Jarasandh (Rana Jung Bahadur) is interested in arranging marriage of Rukmini (Chana Ruparel) with Shishupal (Karunakar Pathak), the son of the King of Chedi. King Jarasandh convinces Bhishmaka, the King of Vidarbha and his elder son Rukmi (Dinesh Kaushik) to invite Shishupal for the marriage ‘swaymvar’ of Rukmini. Rukmi conveys the decision to his sister, Rukmini with the instruction to select Shishupal as her husband in the ‘swaymvar’. Rukmini is distressed with this decision forced on her because she has already decided that Krishna is her ideal husband after hearing his heroics and bravery. She writes a letter to Krishna to rescue her from the forced marriage with Shishupal.
The immediate context of the devotional song is that on the morning of the day of the ‘swaymvar’, Rukmini with her companions is on her way to a temple from the palace during which her brother Rukmi meets her to convey that Shishupal has arrived. She says that she is visiting the temple to pay her obeisance to the Goddess. After reaching the temple, the devotional song gets played as a background as Rukmini’s prayer to the Goddess to grant her boon to become the wife of Dwarikesh (Krishna). The last stanza of the song is composed in a different tune because it is about granting of boon to her by the Goddess predicting that Krishna would come and take her with him.
After the end of the song, Rukmini is seen leaving the temple and walking slowly when she sees a chariot fast approaching towards the temple with Krishna. Rukmini runs toward the chariot. Krishna says that she has called him and he has come. With this, Krishna takes her in his chariot and drives away from the temple towards Dwarka while Balram with his Yadav army is giving him the cover of protection from the army of Rukmi. Eventually, Krishna and Rukmini get married with full rituals at a coastal place near Dwarka.
