MEERA BAI
Meerabai was born in Merta, Rajasthan in
1498. She was a Rajput princess, her father's name was Ratan Singh. When she
was just four years old she showed deep affection for her lord Shri Krishna.
Meerabai was married to Bhoj Raj, ruler of Chittor.
She did not pay any attention to him, as she firmly believed lord Krishna to be
her beloved.
Meerabai used to sing devotional songs in
praise of her lord. Akbar and his court musician Tansen came in disguise to
Chittor, to listen to Meera's devotional and inspiring songs.
Her brother in law Vikramaditya tried to
kill her on many occasions by mixing poison in prasad, sending snake in a basket. Each time she was rescued unharmed by the lord.
Her last days, she left Chittor and went
to Merta, but finally went to Dwarka, where Vikramaditya sent some brahmins to
bring her back. But she wished to visit her lord's temple one last time, where
she miraculously merged in the image of Shri Krishna.
This painting is made on A3 size cartridge
sheet with Acrylic colors.
Thanks and have a blessed day.
