Pradyumna Kumar Mahanandia was born an “untouchable” in a remote village of India in 1949. According to prophecy, told by an astrologer after Kumar’s birth, he was meant to marry a musician woman from a faraway country, who is born under the zodiac sign of Taurus and owns a forest. “I believed strongly in the prophecy and now know that everything is planned on this planet,” Kumar told National Geographic.

1949，Pradyumna Kumar Mahanandia出生于印度一个偏远村庄。他出生后，一位占星家告诉他以后会和一个来自遥远国家的音乐家结婚。她会是金牛座金牛座，拥有一片森林。Kumar在接受美国《国家地理》的采访时表示“我对这个预言深信不疑，现在更加相信一切冥冥之中都有安排。”

 

 

The man remembers very clearly the day when prophecy came true. The beautiful story began on December 17, 1975. Back then, Kumar was a street artist. A beautiful blonde woman with blue eyes, named Charlotte Von Schedvin, asked him to draw a portrait of her. “When she appeared before my easel, I felt as though I didn’t have any weight. Words are not accurate enough to express such a feeling,” he said. “Her eyes were so blue and big and round, I felt as if she was not looking at me, she was looking inside me, like an X-ray machine!” The nervous young man couldn’t properly draw a woman of his dreams the first time, so he asked Charlotte to come back another day.

他永远都记得预言成真的那一天，这个美丽的故事始于1975年12月17日，那时的Kumar是个街头艺术家。一个叫 Charlotte Von Schedvin的金发蓝瞳女郎，请他为自己画画像。“当她出现在我的画架前时，我觉得自己好像渺小到不存在了。那种感觉只能意会，不能言传!她有着一双又大又圆的蓝色眼睛，注视着我时，简直就像x光一样能穿透我的身体!”，Kumar说。这个紧张的小伙子没有办法这次就把自己命定的情人完美地画出，所以就告诉Charlotte改日再来拿。

 

 

“She ended up coming back three times and I did three portraits, ” he said. “After the second time, I felt, she’s the one!”

“后来她再回来了三次，我也给她画了三幅画像。在第二次后，我觉得她就是我的命中注定!”

 

 

Turns out the mysterious foreign woman was born under the sign of Taurus, owns a forest and plays the flute, just as the prophecy said. “You will be my wife. We were destined to meet.” Kumar told her.

更神奇的是，这个神秘的外国姑娘真的和预言一样是金牛座，拥有一片森林，同时也是长笛演奏家。Kumar对她说“你将会是我的妻子，我们命中注定会相遇。”

 

 

Charlotte, who was 19 years old at the time, wasn’t scared of this unexpected confession and decided to give the young man a change. The couple spent 2-3 weeks together before Charlotte came back home to Sweden.

当时19岁的Charlotte没有因为这么意外的事受到惊吓，决定给这个小伙一个机会。于是，在她回瑞典前，两人在一起相处了2-3周。
 

The love story could’ve ended there, but young and determined Kumar decided not to let it happen. After a year and a half spent apart, the artist sold everything he had and bought a bicycle.

这也许就是一般爱情故事的结局，但Kumar决不允许这样的事情发生。分开了一年半后，他变卖了一切，买了辆单车。

 

 

With very little money and the help of a few kind people he met on the way, Kumar managed to travel 6,000 miles to see Charlotte. “The biggest obstacle was my own thoughts, my doubts,” he said.

带着仅剩的一点钱，并通过一路上好心人的帮助，他奔波了6000多里去寻找自己的爱人。他说“最大的困难是我自己的想法，我的犹豫不定。”

 

 

The two lovers ended up getting married and have been together for more than 40 years now. The couple has raised two children together and their love is as strong as ever.

一对有情人终成眷属，并一起生活了40多年了。他们有两个孩子，但感情依旧是那么的深厚。
