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

Jai Sriman Narayana !!

Jai Shri Krishna !!



In a battle with the Mughals Bhoj Raj lost his life and Mira's father in law narrowly escaped with serious of injuries.  This incident turned Mira’s life upside down.  Her in-laws forced her to accept ‘Sati’.  But, she was miraculously saved by her Kanha.  Her living condition in the Chittorghar palace became worse than before.  The entire relatives treated her as a bad omen and waited to see find fault in her, she had to often meet with the sharp criticisms of them.  She took all the ill treatment of her family members calmly. 

 ‘Vikramaditya’ was step brother Bhoj Raj’s and wanted to become the next heir to the Kingdom.   After Bhoj Raj’s sad demise, Vikramaditya was very keen to take up the position as the King of Mewar.   He was dead against to see Mira as next heir to the throne after Bhoj Raj.  Now, Mira had to face another trouble too.  Vikramaditya was unscrupulous and had no qualities in him to be a ruler of Mewar.   Mira was worried about the people of Mewar and their welfare.  She vehemently opposed him to intervene in the royal matters.   Vikramaditya misused the wealth of the country lavishly with the support of his mother.  Mira’s mother-in-law was the only support to her in those difficult days, but she was also under strict inspection of Vikramaditya and his mother.    In the initial days he tried to torment Mira with his physical force.  Each of his attempts was failed and it irritated him to the extent that he decided to take away her life.  He offered Mira with the poison, she was astoundingly escaped.  He invited the out casted to infect her with the venomous snakes; she was amazingly saved by her Kanha. Vikramaditya played another trick; he spread rumors about Mira’s chastity.    Many such incidents were repeated to torture Mira; she calmly embraced Krishna – Her savior.  During this period of time, Mira’s father Ratan Singh Rathore died in a war with the Mughal Emperor.  She was too philosophical by the time to receive the sad news.  The tragedies in her life continued, fortunately nothing could destroy her firm devotion to Lord.


Jai Shri Krishna !!

Jai Sriman Narayana !!
