![]() ![]() ![]() Such is the love between the Lord and his devotees. I take the dust of their lotus feet on my head to purify myself and follow their footsteps”. In Bhagvat Puran (Canto 11, chapter 14, text 14,15,16), the Lord says: “who surrender to me unconditionally without even a tinge of desire but to please me, are most dear to me. Meera weighed her Giridhar against rest of the world and found the world was not just insignificant but completely void without him! She offered herself at his lotus feet. Mira is the maidservant of the Mountain-Holder: now with love He takes me across to the further shore. I came for the sake of love-devotion seeing the world, I wept. When I took out the butter, no need to drink any buttermilk. The churner of the milk churned with great love. Now the creeper has grown spread all over, and borne the fruit of bliss. With my tears, I watered the creeper of love that I planted I took off my finery of pearls and coral, and strung a garland of wildwood flowers. I’ve torn my scarf into shreds I’m all wrapped up in a blanket. I’ve sat near the holy ones, and I’ve lost shame before the people. ![]() I’ve forsaken both God, and the family’s honor: what should I do? On his head he wears the peacock-crown: He alone is my husband.įather, mother, brother, relative: I have none to call my own. Mine is Gopal, the Mountain-Holder there is no one else. Mira is absorbed in contemplation of Krishna, Now it has grown and overspread my dwelling. ![]() Since I seek the companionship of holy men I am your servant, Meera, oh beloved Giridhar, take me out of this mess. I am happy with the followers but deeply hurt by the public When the butter milk has been taken out, why worry about who drinks the remaining part of diluted curd) Now the creeper has spread and will give frouts of joy I have sawn the creeper of love by irrigating the water of my tears Nor the pearl and coral necklace but have adopted garland of wild flowers I have made into pieces my colourful sari and have adopted ochre colour sari I have lost public dignity due to keeping relations with Saints I have crossed the dignity line of my dynasty but who can do anything about it No one from relationships like father, mother, brother, friends, is mine. Who wears the peacock feather on his turban, is my husband There is none other than Giridhar Gopal for me Translation of Mere to Girdhar Gopal in English Chaandi lai kul ki kaani kaha karilai koi ![]()
