Meeras life is a glorified romantic haze. . The legend goes, Meera as a child, asked her mother, while seeing a `Barat, who would be her bridegroom? Her mother casually pointed towards an idol of Lord Krishna and said, HIM. Ever since then Meera, considered herself herself to be Lord Krishnas "Bride". Meera was pure devotion and love sublime, where as The Society considered her also to be the wife fo Rana Bhoj-raj, the sister of prince Jaimal and princess Krishna, the daughter of Raja Ratansingh, the princess of "Merta" and the `Bahu of Chitor. . Meeras life is the story of this conflict. . The Rathods of Merta had an ancestral fued with the Sisodiyas of Chitor. But both these sects were forced to unite against the spread- ing incasions of the Moghuls. The Link which brought the Sisodiyas and the Rathods together was Meera Perhaps her marriage to Rana Bhojraj was political! . But Meera was wedded to Lord Krishna emotionally. She, who became the Link between the two sects, was already inked to Lord Krishna. This opened a new chapter in her life. She sang in divine madness for Lord Krishna and danced in ecstasy. She was put behind bars for all this. But she could not be fettered. She was spreading as an incense through all the temples like an intense faith. . Word of her glory reached Akbars `Dardar. He witnessed the `hapening and was so moved that he gifted her with his own pearl necklace for her Lord Krishna. . That did it. Enough was enough. The Times called out, let justice prevail. `She has accepted a gift from the nationss arch enemy. She is a traitor. . The court of `Dharma was called. Meera was summoned to the dock. The verdict was given. Meera was sentenced to death. Such souls never die. She became immortal. . `Meera portrays Meera. Let us cherish "Meeras", immortal memory!
