Mira Ke Prabu............Giridhar Nagar !! Part IV !!



Jai Sriman Narayana !!

Jai Shri Krishna !!






Whoever loves Krishna He will definitely gives back His love. The eternal truth is that nothing is permanent in this world.  We are not born together and   not sure how long will cling on to each other.  One day everybody has to leave this world. There is no assurance that we get back the love we have shared with our beloved ones.  Mira says, keep unconditional love towards Him, undeniably He will be there to return back all the love.  Mira persistently surrendered herself to Lord.  She offered Him Deepam, Dhoopam, Naivedyam along with her heart.   She had great knowledge in arts, music and painting.  Mira spent her precious time in the thoughts of Krishna’s pastimes with Gopis in Vrindavan, she imagined herself as one amongst them, she invites her childhood friends to join with her and they created a beautiful Vrindavan like atmosphere in her palace garden.  Her mind was overflowing with the thoughts of Krishna; she performed Joola Utsav, Dolostav, etc...With her friends gathered.  Seeing Mira’s excessive obsession with the Lord Krishna made Dudaji Rao to worry about her future.


Dudaji informed the members of the family about his decision of seeking alliance for Mira.  They all agreed to it and started looking for a suitable bride-groom for Mira. At this point of time, The King of Mewar – Rana Sangram Singh known as Rana Sangha approached Dudaji Rao for asking Mira’s hand to marry his son Bhoj Raj ( Rana Kumbhaji).  Both the royal families were delighted at the union of two.  Bhoj Raja was highly impressed at the beauty, piousness and at her affectionate nature.  The two families fixed a date for the grand royal wedding.  

Dudaji was under great pressure now.  He wanted to convey the happiest news to his granddaughter, but how?  Whenever Dudaji Rao approaches Mira with the news of her marriage she simply slips out of the subject and diverting her grandfather’s attention to something else.  She may start talking about the decorative/jewels required for her Krishna or His tantalizing beauty.  Many a times Dudaji Rao found it difficult to convince her about marriage.  Today, Dudaji Rao felt that the time is passing quickly and it is high time to sort out the serious issue with Mira.  He approached Mira; she was completely into a different world with the thoughts Krishna.  Dudaji Rao without any introduction to the subject informed Mira that they found a suitable bride-groom for her.  Mira was dumb founded at her grandfather’s message.  She cried to Dudaji Rao ‘I have already married to Krishna.  How can I marry somebody else in this life?’  She was uncontrollable and in a miserable state.  Dudaji Rao could not see any happiness in Mira for the next few days, suddenly she started to behave like lost child, she was not in her usual form, and she refused to eat or wear stately dresses.  She lost her happiness and interest in everything.  The abrupt changes in Mira made everyone in deep distress. On the other hand, the two royal families were eagerly waiting for the union of beautiful couple.

Jai Shri Krishna !!
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
