In Rukmini’s case, our mythology has only talked about her identity – Rukmini being the incarnation of Laxmi, it has never highlighted any of her achievements – and for a reason – unlike the births of Sita and Ram whose objectives, besides establishing dharma, were to set examples of ideal wife, husband, mother, ruler and so on, Krishna’s role was to set examples of an ideal lover, devotee, friend, guide, guru and to give mankind the lotus-like words of Gita, and Rukmini’s role was to be his human-consort. Thus, these hierarchies are formed due to their responsibilities and actions – dharma and karma. In Shaktism, Shakti is considered to be superior to the Trinity because she is the energy of all. The Trinity – Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are considered to be superior to the Devas like Indra, because the former have much bigger roles. In Hinduism, importance is given to one’s action, karma, dharma and its impact rather than on one’s identity. You might have come across this thought if you are a devotee of Lord Krishna as everywhere we see temples of Radhe Krishna not Rukmini Krishna.
