Meera As We Know

Mirabai was born a princess

Mirabai was born a princess, a granddaughter of Rao Dudaji -- the third son of Rao Jodhaji, who established the kingdom of Rathod Dynasty in Rajasthan, with Jodhpur as its capital in the kingdom known as Jodhpur. Jodhaji gave his son Rao Dudaji a small portion of the Jodhpur kingdom. It consisted of several villages with Medta as its capital. Medta is about 60 kilometers west of Ajmer in the present state of Rajasthan, India.

Mirabai could not get the love of her parents

Mirabai was born in about 1557 AD in Kudki, a little village near Medta. Her mother passed away while she was still about 5 to 7 years old. Her father Ratnasingh died in a battle defending the kingdom against the Mogul Badshah, Akbar. Thus, Mirabai had experienced very little affection of her parents. However, Rao Dudaji, her grandfather, raised her with love. It is said that little Mira would play in his lap as he conducted the business of his kingdom with his ministers and advisors.

Mirabai was very beautiful

Mira was a beautiful child-princess and the beloved of everyone who came close to her. One day, her mother was combing her hair in a balcony of her palace. She was about 5 years old at that time. Mira saw a parade of a bridegroom. There was loud music and dancing. Several beautifully clothed women as well as men were in gay spirits. Mira saw the procession and asked her mother about it.

This incident changed the life of Mirabai

The mother responded that the bridegroom was going to get married. Young Mira asked innocently whom she would marry. Her mother was puzzled for a minute. Then she saw the Shree Krishna's Murti in the room, pointed to it and said, "He is your bridegroom." Mira took this seriously and started to regard Shree Krishna as her bridegroom from that moment on.

From the tender age of about five she nurtured the idea that Shree Krishna

From the tender age of about five she nurtured the idea that Shree Krishna was her husband. Her father had unfortunately little time to spend with her since he was constantly busy in matters of the kingdom. Mira now began to play with and think of Krishna as her Beloved Husband. One day a sadhu visited her family. Mira saw a beautiful little murti of Shree Krishna with the saint.

By measuring something you direct your attention there. 2. When you measure something, you know where you are Sometimes we don’t realize the severity of a problem we have until we see the facts.
