She is indeed blessed who has experienced this pain of separation. So many saints and swami cried, pined and drowned in this pain and having undergone this separation and love they experience the true happiness attain the true objective of being human.
The purpose of this blog is to share my interest in the Bhakti ras as it manifests in the life of medieval princess and Lord Sri Krishna's devotee, Meera. The content of the blog springs from my attempt to translate from Hindi language a text called "Meera Sudha Sindhu" by Swami Anandsvarup, written around 1960.
