India is a land of eternal love stories defying the blows of Time for ages. One such timeless story is that of Meera Bai’s love for Lord Krishna. Born a Rajput princess of Merta in Rajasthan, Meera Bai ended up being a saint in love with her lord. The life of Meera Bai from the magnificence of a palace to the austerity of a hermitage is a manifestation of transcendental love between the Divine and the human, the heaven and the earth, the universe and the soul, the immortal and the mortal as well. Her unconditional, immeasurable, incomparable love for Krishna, who others worship as the Almighty, was honeyed with devotion and spirituality.
She used to spend her time in writing and humming devotional songs in praise of her lord out of ecstasy, which knew no religious bounds and social barriers. Like Rani Padmini and Rani Karnavati, Meera Bai was a bride of Chittor in Mewar province of Rajasthan. If Rani Padmini and Rani Karnavati are emblems of bravery that the Rajputs are known for, she is an embodiment of divine love. Today her devotional songs which evoke numinous feelings are popularly known as ‘Meerabai Poems’ or ‘Meerabai Bhajans’.
Being the greatest devotee of Lord Krishna, Meera Bai deserves a tribute on the occasion of Krishna Janmastami. IndianEagle shares interesting facts from “Meerabai biography” and depicts her life story through the following infographic:
