In the very first episode of DBO, Gauri had a conversation with Anika, where she had mentioned about the love of Meera for Lord Krishna...and herein lies the reason whyWe know very well, that very rarely in Indian soaps the CVs bring in a conversation which would have no relevance later.
Meera (Meera Bai)...was a Rajasthani princess, who is remembered for her selfless devotion and love for Lord Krishna. As legends go, she was given an idol of Lord Krishna in her childhood by her grandmother...who told her that henceforth he would be her protector and saviour and in jest mentioned that He was her husband. Little Meera had this engraved in her mind and grew up worshipping and loving Lord Krishna, to extent of madness. In her youth she was forced to marry a Rajput prince by her parents, though she vehemently opposed saying that she was already married. Meera had loved just one person in her life...and it was selfless love and devotion. It is said that after the death of her husband, her in laws tried to kill her many times...but she was protected by the Lord...and ultimately in death had her union with Him
Drawing Parallels...
Gauri Kumari Sharma, has immense faith in the almighty. Just when she was about to get killed, Omkara arrived as her saviour and she considered this to be a sign from the almighty. From her dialogue yesterday...it was very obvious her love and respect for Omkara...is going to be selfless, since he is her saviour, irrespective of anything. She wants nothing in return...not even his love... but she's not going to forego her right to love him.
If you remember Gauri's punchline in DBO introductory promo...that is where she mentions...
"Ishq ek pooja hain...aur Gauri Kumari Sharma...isey poore dil se karegi..."
So true...she's going to love Omkara without any expectation... wholeheartedly...but I am glad that at least for now...she's not being shown to lose her self respect.
And the song goes...
"Ek Radha...Ek Meera...dono ne Shyam ko chaha...
Antar kya dono ke chah mein bolo...
Ek prem deewani...ek taras deewani"
Meera is "taras deewani"...one who faces immense pain in love, but continues with her devotion...because for her love is worship...Love is God
"Ek Raani Ek Daasi Dono Hari Prem Ki Pyaasi
Antar Kyaa Dono Ki Pritime Bolo
Ek Jit Na Maani Ek Haar Na Maani"
Meera had always considered herself to be the Lord's servant...Aur usne kabhi Haar na maani...she never accepted defeat...
Just like Gauri...who will never accept defeat or failure...and consider her love to be equivalent to worship
