Meera Bai A Great Devotee

Meera was a great devotee of Lord Krishna - Let me tell you that Meerabai was born in 1498 in a Rajput family of Rajasthan. At the same time, his father's name was Ratan Singh and mother's name was Veer Kumari. From the very beginning, Meera was a great devotee of Lord Krishna and when she was 4 years old, when she saw a marriage happening near her house, she innocently asked her mother who would be her groom?

On this question of Meera, her mother had pointed to the idol of Shri Krishna and said that she will be her bridesmaid. From then on, Meera lost her love for Sri Krishna as her husband. It is said that when Meera grew up, she believed that Shri Krishna would marry her. Meera was very beautiful and very calm by nature. With this, her voice was very good and she used to sing in sweet voice but Meera was married to Rana Sanga, son of Maharana Sanga of Mewar. At that time, Meera did not want to get married, but she had to get married at the insistence of the family. It is said that even after marriage, Meera's love for Krishna did not diminish at all. At the same time, during his farewell, Shri Krishna took the same idol of Meera with him, which his mother said was his groom.

After that Meera used to visit the temple of Krishna daily after completing the in-laws work and there she used to worship the idol of Shri Krishna. Bhajan was also sung for him in a sweet voice. Meera's love for Krishna was not liked by her in-laws and her mother-in-law insisted her to worship Durga Maa as her in-laws worshiped Durga Devi, but Meera did not. During that time, she told the in-laws clearly that she had already done her life in the name of Shri Krishna. Meera's in-laws then tried to discredit her and Meera's sister-in-law Udbai told her brother Rana that "Meera has a love affair with someone and has seen Meera with that person." Rana was very angry and reached the temple with sister Udbai at midnight.

On reaching the temple, he saw Meera talking alone with the idol of Krishna. After seeing this scene, he shouted angrily and ordered Meera to bring the lover with whom she talks at midnight. In response to this, Meera pointed to the idol of Shri Krishna and said that he is the owner of Meera. His Meera is married. Rana was heartbroken after hearing this. Meeka's brother-in-law Vikramaditya was chosen as the new king of Chittorgarh. He did not like Meera's devotion to Krishna and Meera's association with people. It is said that he sent a basket of garlands of flowers to kill Meera, inside which poisonous snake was kept. As soon as Meera opened the basket, a beautiful idol of Shri Krishna was present in it with a necklace of flowers. After this, Vikramaditya also added poison to Prasad to kill Meera. Meera knew that there was poison in that prasad, yet Meera took that poisonous prasad because she was confident that Shri Krishna would save her from poison.

When the efforts to kill Meera increased to a great extent, Meera wrote a letter to Tulsidas and asked him for his opinion. After this, Tulsidas wrote in response that renounce those who cannot understand you. Love for God is true love; other relationships are false. Meera's life changed completely when Akbar and Tansen disguised themselves to come to Chittorgarh temple to listen to Meera's songs. He touched the sacred feet of Meera and placed a garland of precious diamonds and pearls in front of Krishna's idol. As soon as Rana got this information, he became very angry, after which he angrily told Meera to go and die and never show his face in life. Because of you, my and my family have been very bad. You have stunned us.

After this Meera followed what Rana had said and she started moving towards the river, dancing and singing songs of Govinda, Girdhari, Gopal Japat - chanting Krishna. As Meera tried to jump into the river, someone held her hand from behind and she survived the fall. Meera looked back and found her lover Sri Krishna and seeing Krishna near her, Meera could not believe and she fell unconscious in Krishna's lap. It is said that after this, Krishna said in Meera's ear- 'My dear Meera, your life has ended with mortal relatives. Now you are free. be happy. You are mine and will always be mine. After this incident, Meera went to Vrindavan. When Meera left for Vrindavan, Rana went there and apologized to him and asked him to go along but Meera flatly refused. And he said that his life is related to Shri Krishna. After hearing this, for the first time Rana understood the feeling of Meera's love for Krishna and returned from Vrindavan.

After some time, Meera also pleaded with Mewar Gain and her husband Rana to allow them to stay in Krishna's temple. It is said that in the temple of Krishna in Dwarka on the festival of Janmashtami, Meera says to Krishna that "O Girdhari are you calling me, I am coming." Rana and all the people present there are surprised to hear Meera saying this. After that, after calling Krishna, a kind of light was generated in Meera and the doors of the temple closed by themselves. At the same time, when the doors are opened, the sari of Meera is draped over the idol of Lord Krishna, but there is no Meera in the temple, only Meera and her flute are heard. It is said that Meera was absorbed in the idol of Krishna.

Narayan The God of Preservation

Bhagwan Vishnu is one of the main Hindu deities and is seen as the divine arbitrator. He protects justice and moral order by mediating disagreements, whether they involve humans or gods. He is an archetype you might call on when seeking patience.

Bhgwan Vishnu is part of the Hindu Triad that includes Bhgwan Brahma, Vishna, and Shiv. One third of the trinity of gods who represent the three phases of cosmic existence, Bhgwan Vishnu sustains the universe and upholds its many laws. Since Bhgwan Vishnu mediates disagreements and is seen as the preserver, you might identify with his gentle, merciful nature.

According to Sanatan Dharm, Bhagavan Vishnu has incarnated on Earth at least nine times to destroy evil and restore justice in the world. Each time he comes as different manifestations or avatar and serves a different purpose.

As Matsaya, a fish, Vishnu saves the Vedas, the Hindu texts containing all the knowledge of the world, from massive floods that threaten the earth. When he appears as Kumra, a tortoise, Bhagwan Vishnu recovers the valuable things that were lost at the bottom of the ocean during the floods, including the nectar of immortality.

Bhagwan Vishnu incarnates as Varaha, a boar, and battles the demon Hiranyakashyap, who pulled the earth to the bottom of the ocean. Varaha dives into the depths of the sea and brings the earth back to safety.

Bhagwan Vishnu also returns as Narasimha, a being with the head and claws of a lion and the body of a man; as Vamana, a dwarf, to conquer King Bali; and as Parashurama, a fierce warrior. In the incarnation as Parashurama, Bhagwan Vishnu uses his axe to kill Kartavirya, a king with a thousand arms who stole Parshurama’s father’s holy calf.

Another incarnation of Bhagwan Vishnu includes Ram, a king and ideal man. Bhagwan Ram is said to be the seventh incarnation of Bhagwan Vishnu and the main character in the classic Sanatan epic the Ramayan. Bhagwan Rama represents righteousness, truth, and strength of character. This representation isn’t known for a single mission or triumph, but for holding on to his ideals in the face of many challenges.

And another includes Bhagwan Krishn, the deity. Like Ram, Bhagwan Krishna is also revered as a god in the Hindu faith. However, Bhagwan Krishn is seen as more playful, endearing, and accessible than Bhagwan Ram, who personifies perfection. There are many tales about Krishn's pranks and love escapades with the cow maidens. As the eighth incarnation of Bhagwan Vishnu, Krishn is also the protagonist in another Sanatan epic, the Mahabharat. At a very young age, Krishn ji slays a number of powerful demons, including Kans, the king of the snakes. According to tradition, Krishn ji is the only incarnation of Vishnu ji who was aware of his divine powers from infancy. For this reason, Krishn ji is commonly equated with Vishnu ji rather than being considered only an earthly incarnation.

Everything Is Shiv

In the beginning, the Universe was covered with darkness, the universe was filled with darkness, the universe was only darkness. There were no sun,no moon „no stars nor anything at that time. No little patch of fire, air, water, ether existed at that time. There was only emptiness. Emptiness everywhere. At that time 'sath' existed. Sath had no shape, no color, no personality. It was neither big nor small. Briefly, Sath is Satyam(the truth). It is the knowledge, happiness and other emotions. The shapeless Brahma evolved according to the wishes. It turned into a Jyothirlingam. This Lingam was known as the Brahmandam(the Universe). This andam split and then began the inception of the nondestructive 'Virat Pursh'. He/she was the only thing existed at that time. He/she existed everywhere. He/she had many faces and eyes in every direction. He/she could see without eyes and hear without ears. It was impossible to see him/her in full form. This NirakaraRupa(formless) ParaBrahma, after many yugas, wished for something else. He/she wished for the evolution of millions from one. At that moment, he/she decided to be in a form by using his/her own powers. That idol was with all greatness, all knowledge and was a Godfigure for everyone. Parabrahma without a body-and that idol is Lord 'SadaSiva'. At one time, Siva and ParaSakti became close as husband and wife. Being happy, they wished for something. To create someone to do the job of 'Creation'. With these thoughts Siva with Sakti applied Amritam on the ten organs of the left side of his own body. After sometime, from that part, born a person who is handsome of all three worlds and with the goodness of million suns.

Everything Is Shiva

There are many names of Shiva, and his infinite forms that lead us to know Him. In whatsoever name or form you desire to call Him, in that very form and name you will see Him. Shiva, that which is not. Everything begins from nothing, and ends with nothing. Everything that is here has evolved itself out of nothingness. And it again goes back to nothingness. That nothingness is Shiva. What we call Shoonya is Shiva! The emptiness is Shiva. Call it by any name or any form, you can look at it as formless energy. But that which contains everything, and which is not, is Shiva! Shiva, the auspicious, Shambhu! Triyambaka, one with third eye, eye of vision. Other two eyes feed the mind with all kinds of nonsense because what you see is not the truth. So the third eye has to be opened for deeper penetration. Realise yourself to reach the highest within yourself, reach the peak within yourself. Locking him up in Pooja room won’t help, he is within you. Shiva, Shambhu, the Mahadev is in your heart.

।। Har Har Mahadev।। 🙏🚩

You dislike some things and want to remove them from the face of the Earth. This is Maya, the Karmic trap.

The universe has brought those things into existence and the same universe wants you to try and remove those things.


Our problems are like Raktbeeja demon slayed by Mahakaali. His blood worked like seed that produced more demons.

For short, they call each other Devi and Bhairava, or Shakti and Shiva. They are lovers and inseparable partners, and one of their favorite places of dwelling is in the human heart.

The Queen Of Hadi

You might have heard of many epics from the pages of history. Rajputs and the Rajwadas are born with the warrior blood. And today I talk about one such warrior Rajput women “Hadi Rani”- a folk heroine of Rajasthan in India. Rajputs are known for their bravery sacrifice. Rajput women are believed to be as much as Rajput men. Women in India have always stood strong for the dignity for their nation and their family.

Picture Source/ Google

The legends say that she was the daughter of a Hada Rajput and was married to Sardar Rao Ratan Singh Chundawat of Salumbar in Mewar who sacrificed herself to motivate her husband to fight the war. Her sacrifice added her name in the list among the great warrior women of Rajputs. Hadi Rani was the lady who created history to the actual meaning of love and sacrifice.

It was the period when Mughals ruled over India. And Aurangzeb had his power of dominating the poor and the helpless Hindus. His evil intentions were getting worse day by day. Great names such as Shivaji, Guru Gobind Singh, Rathod Veer Durgadas and others had stood against these Mughal rulers and were defeating them one by one.

Story Of Rani Hadi

Hadi Rani was the daughter of Hada Chauhan Rajput and had recently gotten married to the Chundawat Chieftain of Salumbar, Rao Ratan Singh, in Mewar (which is the South Central part of Rajasthan).

The couple was in love and the Chieftain was smitten with his new wife. But as fate decreed, Maharana Raj Singh I of Mewar called him to a battle against the invading army of Aurangazeb (Son of Shah Jahan).

The Chieftain was reluctant as he was newly married and had wanted to be with his lovely and virtuous wife. But being a duty-bound and incredibly proud warrior, he kept his promise and joined the battle, heading the army.

Still, his mind was on his exquisite wife and his every moment was hindered by her presence etched in his heart. So he sent an envoy to inquire about his new bride.

Though Hadi Rani was much in love, her husband’s distraction from his duty towards his motherland caused her grief and it was emphasized even more when the distraction was her. So she decided on something that would become the fodder for many legends and folklores.

She called aside her Chief Lady-in-waiting and told her that she would have to present the messenger with a souvenir on her behalf to her beloved Rao Ratan Singh. She then proceeded to take the nearby sword and chopped off her head.

The aghast Lady-in-Waiting then gave the messenger Hadi Rani’s head on a plate and asked him to give it to the Chieftain at the battlefield. Imagine the anguish the Chieftain must have felt when he saw his wife’s head as a memoir!

Keeping aside his bereavement, he was supremely proud of his wife for the unparalleled sacrifice for her motherland and the sense of duty. He, with pride, wore her head around his neck as a sign of valor and stormed into the battle like a demon.

The nemesis army was shattered by his bravery on the battlefield (Though I personally think I would be scared of a man charging towards me with a dead woman’s head around his neck!) and Maharana Raj Singh’s warriors emerged from the battle, triumphant.

Rao Ratan Singh, unable to cope with his wife’s death, having no resolve to continue living, took out his sword and beheaded himself the same way his love did.

A palace named Hadi Rani Mahal is still present in India, located in the heart of Nagaur city.

Though the history of Hadi Rani might have been distorted by numerous exaggerations and imaginations, the battle and her sacrifice have been well inscribed. It is one of the stories of love and bravery that has moved me greatly.

राव सलुम्बर के चुंडा ने मांगी एक निशानी थी,

शीस काट कर भेजा क्षत्राणी ने वह तो हाडी राणी थी ।

मैं एक ऐसी योद्धा रानी का जिक्र कर रहा हूँ, जिसने युद्ध में जाते अपने पति को निशानी मांगने पर अपना सिर काट कर भिजवा दिया था।

 रानी हाडी बूंदी के हाडा शासक की बेटी थी और उदयपुर (मेवाड़) के सलुम्बर ठिकाने के रावत चुण्डावत की पत्नी थी। जिनकी शादी का गठ्जोडा खुलने से पहले ही उसके पति रावत चुण्डावत को मेवाड़ के महाराणा राज सिंह (1653-81) का औरंगजेब के खिलाफ मेवाड़ की रक्षार्थ युद्ध का आदेश मिला था।

मेवाड़ रियासत में सलूंबर का ठीकाना प्रथम श्रेणी चुडावत सामंतों का रहा है। यह ठिकाना मांझल रात में ब्‍याहकर आई उस हाड़ा रानी के लिए याद किया जाता है जिसने छिन्‍नमस्‍ता होने से गुरेज नहीं किया। बरात लौटी और सुबह ही पति चुंडावत सरदार के पास युद्ध का बुलावा आ गया।

रानी ने सरदार के पत्नी प्रेम को भांप लिया। उसने कर्तव्‍य को शीर्ष प्राथमिकता देते हुए पति को रण में जाने को कह दिया। जंग जीतने घोड़े के पांव महल के बाहर पड़े... मगर रास्‍ते में ही चुंडावत सरदार ने अपने सेवक को बुलाया और कहा कि मालूम नहीं जीयें कि मरें, जाओ और हाड़ा रानी से कोई निशानी लेकर आओ।

सेवक के निशानी मांगने पर रानी ने यह सोच कर कि कहीं उसके पति पत्नीमोह में युद्ध से विमुख न हो जाए या वीरता नही प्रदर्शित कर पाए इसी आशंका के चलते इस वीर रानी ने अपना शीश काट कर ही निशानी के तौर पर भेज दिया ताकि उसका पति अब उसका मोह त्याग निर्भय होकर अपनी मातृभूमि के लिए युद्ध कर सके।

सेवक ने बतौर निशानी सरदार को नव परिणिता रानी का सिर सौंपा, और रावत चुण्डावत ने अपनी पत्नी का कटा शीश गले में लटका औरंगजेब की सेना के साथ भयंकर युद्ध किया | औरन्जेब की सेना खदेड़ी गयी | रावत ने अपने घुटनों पर बैठ कर अपना शीश कटा, क्योंकि उसे जीने की इच्छा नहीं रही थी। वीरता पूर्वक लड़ते हुए अपनी मातृभूमि के लिए शहीद हो गए।

राजस्थान में किलों की संख्या अनगनित हैं जिनमें कुम्भलगढ़ का किला भी मुख्य हैं। 30 किलोमीटर के विशाल धरातलीय भूभाग में फैला यह किला मेवाड़ के प्राचीन इतिहास तथा वीरता का साक्षी रहा हैं।
मेवाड़ के महान प्रतापी राजा महाराणा कुम्भा ने इसका निर्माण करवाया था।

कुम्भलगढ़ दुर्ग- इस महान दुर्ग को बनाने में 15 वर्षों का समय लगा था। राजस्थान के राजसमंद जिले में स्थित इस किले को अजेयगढ़ उपनाम से जाना जाता था, क्योंकि इसकी प्रहरी मोटी दीवार को चीन की दी वॉल ऑफ चायना    के बाद संसार की सबसे दूसरी बड़ी दीवार कुम्भलगढ की दीवार को माना जाता हैं। अरावली की घाटियों में स्थित कुम्भलगढ़ महाराणा प्रताप की जन्म स्थली रहा हैं। कुम्भलगढ़ का दुर्भेद्य किला राजसमंद जिले में सादड़ी गाँव के पास अरावली पर्वतमाला के एक उतुंग शिखर पर स्थित हैं। कहा जाता है की मौर्य शासक सम्प्रति द्वारा निर्मित प्राचीन दुर्ग के अवशेषों पर 1448 ई में महाराणा कुम्भा ने इस दुर्ग की नीव रखी थी। जो प्रसिद्ध वास्तुशिल्प मंडन की देखरेख में 1458 ईस्वी में बनकर तैयार हुआ था। एक इतिहासकार के अनुसार इसकी चोटी समुद्रतल से 3568 फीट और नीचे की नाल से ७०० फीट ऊँची हैं।

बीहड़ वन से आवृत कुम्भलगढ़ दुर्ग संकटकाल में मेवाड़  का महत्वपूर्ण आश्रय स्थल रहा हैं। कुम्भलगढ़ दुर्ग के समीप पर्वत श्रंखलाओं में श्वेत, नील, हेमकूट, निषाद, हिमवत, गंधमादन इत्यादि नाम मिलते हैं। इतिहासकारो के अनुसार चित्तौड़ के बाद कुम्भलगढ़ दूसरे नंबर पर आता हैं।

अबुल फजल ने कुम्भलगढ़ की उंचाई के बारे में लिखा हैं कि यह इतनी बुलंदी पर बना हुआ हैं कि नीचे से ऊपर देखने पर सिर की पगड़ी गिर जाती हैं। कुम्भलगढ़ मेवाड़ की संकटकालीन राजधानी रहा हैं। महाराणा प्रताप का जन्म उदयसिंह का राज्याभिषेक और महाराणा कुम्भा की हत्या का साक्षी यह किला रहा है। मालवा ओर गुजरात के शाशको के काफी प्रयासों के बावजूद भी वे उस पर अधिकार करने में असफल रहे थे। 1578 ई में मुगल सेनानायक शाहबाज खां ने इस पर अल्पकाल के लिए अधिकार कर लिया था किन्तु कुछ समय बाद ही महाराणा प्रताप ने इसे पुनः अधिकार में ले लिया था तब से स्वतंत्रता प्राप्ति तक यह किला मेवाड़ के शासकों के पास ही रहा है।
