Hi everyone. Previously I had posted this story in the Ramayan forum and now I'm reposting it in the offical Meerabai forum with the hope that you will enjoy this story. It tells Meerabai's previous birth and how she became such a great devotee of Lord Krishna. So, please do enjoy reading this story.


Did you know that all the Meera Bhajans end with Giridhara Gopala?
Check out this story. Let me know if any of you have heard this story before.

Meera Bai

The story of Meera Bai, the great devotee of Giridhara Gopala is well known. Right from childhood she used to always do Krishna-araadhana. Every soul is influenced greatly by their previous birth's karma. Same is the case with the great Meera Bai:

Meera Bai, in her previous janma, was born in Mathura. She was married at an young age to a boy from Nandavrajam. "In the Nandavrajam there is Baala Krishna. It seems none can escape His maaya. All the vanitas forget everything and completely come under His control it seems. They leave their families too. Please be careful my dear" ' this is what everybody kept on warning Meera Bai before she left for Nandavrajam .

Finally the moment when she had to leave for Nandavrajam came. She was taken to Nandavrajam in a beautiful pallaqi. On the way to Vrajam there was severe very heavy rain with thunders. The severity increased and there were huge boulders falling. The people carrying the pallaqi left it and ran for their lifes. Not knowing what happened, Meera Bai opened the pallaqi window and saw this parama-adbhuta scence:

It was the day when Indra showed His anger on the Vraja-vaasis. She saw a small Baalaka balancing the Govardhana giri mountain on His little finger (left hand) and saving the lifes of Gopalas. Meera was awe-struck. The image of Govardhana Giridhaari just got fixed in her mind. In no time a boulder fell on her too and she lost her life. The bhaavam which Meera experienced when she saw Shri Krishna is avyakta-madhuram (If explanied bhaavam will reduce).

All the Meera Bhajans end with Giridhara Gopala (Makutam).

It is a very nice story and I hope that you all enjoyed it!
