		At the 1982 IVU Congress, in Germany, Mrs Arundale was elected as a Fellow of IVU and at the next Congress, Baltimore, USA, in 1984, she was given the Mankar Memorial award for her services to IVU.

		Rukmini Devi was nominated as member of the Rajya Sabha (Council of States) by the president of the Republic of India in April 1952 and re-nominated in 1956.
		But Rukmini Devi was more than a dancer and Indian nationalist by virtue of her controversial intercultural marriage to Bishop George Sydney Arundale, an Englishman, who became the third President of the Theosophical Society, and her subsequent incorporation into the art and education movement of the Society in the 1930s.
		Rukmini Devi, besides, was also the spiritual daughter of Dr. Annie Besant, the well-known British feminist and political activist who integrated British suffragette movement into her own brand of New Age spiritualism.

		On the other hand, even though Rukmini was the goddess of fortune, she went to the temple of the goddess Durga because the family deity was worshiped there.
		Therefore when Rukmini went to the temple it was not with the intention of an ordinary person, who goes to beg for material benefits; her only target was Krsna.
		Rukmini offered her prayers to the deity by saying, "My dear goddess Durga, I offer my respectful obeisances unto you as well as to your children." The Goddess Durga has four famous children: two daughters--the goddess of fortune, Laksmi, and the goddess of learning, Sarasvati--and two famous sons, Lord Ganesa and Lord Karttikeya.
