Day 60. Trust - 9

Bhakta Prahalad, covered earlier in some detail, is from a far  distant age for the modern mind. Let us see someone nearer to the current time and well recorded too.

Meera also known as Mirabai (1498-1546) and venerated as Sant Meerabai, was a 16th-century Hindu mystic poet and devotee of Lord Krishna. She is a celebrated Bhakti saint, particularly in the North Indian Hindu tradition.

Her love and devotion to Krishna had brought about innumerable problems and travails to her in her married life. The in laws tried to harass and even kill her repeatedly. Yet she withstood them with firm resolve that Krishan will save her. And her belief was vindicated time and again.

Her story is well known and  will give solace to the downtrodden and helpless immensely. Her poems are a treat to the ear and mind alike.

There are plenty of devotees from the Indian history- who had the vision and grace of the God- for those who want to really see.

 For this Jnana Chakshu- wisdom eye-will be needed.

सर्वगं सच्चिदात्मानं ज्ञानचक्षुर्निरीक्षते

अज्ञानचक्षुर्नेक्षेत भास्वन्तं भानुमन्धवत् ॥ ( Atma Bodha- verse 66)

Be happy. Be safe.

  1. The spiritual blogs are uniformly good, very good.
    I too strongly feel learning Prahlada Charitram, Dhruva Charitram and Gajendra moksha should be made compulsory learning at the primary and middle school levels.
