Did Meerabai really miraculously disappear by merging into an idol of Lord Krishna at Vrindavan?
Did Meerabai really miraculously disappear by merging into an idol of Lord Krishna at Vrindavan?
Start : Meerabai- the Rajput princess was born in royal clan of Marwar (Rajasthan).
As a small girl ; she was besotted by Lord Krishna Narayan.
Strangely , she accepted Lord Krishna as her soul mate.
She happily sang, danced and played with Krishna
Soulmate : Well, her parents got her married to Bhojraj Sisodia - crown prince of Mewar .
Before her marriage ; she politely told everyone about her soul mate Krishna.
Everyone laughingly acknowledged it as an innocent wish of a devout adolescent.
Now, she became crown princess and daughter in law of Mewar royalty.
She still happily sang , danced and played with Krishna.
Surrender : Well , Prince Bhojraj died in a battle with the Delhi sultanate. Soon , her father and father in law also died in battle of Khanwa against Mughal emperor Babur.
Her brother in law , Vikramaditya Singh , the new ruler of Mewar and royal family treated her as an insult to their royal honor.
Thus, she faced social boycott ; multiple assassination attempts and abusive behavior.
She still happily sang, danced and played with Krishna.
Sweet heart : She left her palace and roamed across India as a wandering mendicant
After tragic death of Vikramaditya Singh ; his son the new ruler remorsefully sent a group of learned brahmins to bring her doting aunt back from Dwarka.
Well, she politely asked them to let her spend a night along with her beloved Dwarkadhish.
Next day; when they came to fetch her ; all they found was her white Saree wrapped around idol of Dwarkadhish.
Perhaps, she eternally wanted to sing , dance and play with Krishna.
Thus : “Ae Ri Mai Toh Prem Diwani Mera Dard Na Janey Koi “ : Meera
(I am madly in love . Alas, no one can understand my poignancy)
Perhaps : “When love is not madness, it is not love.” : Pedro Calderon de la Barca (dramatist)
Salutations to epitome of pure love !
