In her Bahjan, "Kunjan Bana Chhaadi", Meera cries out

in desperation in atone similar to AndAL this way:

"If only I were a fish, I would touch your

feet as you bathe in Yamuna.If I were a nightinale,

I would sing swetly ,when You roam in the forest

grazing the cattle. If I were apearl, I would sparkle

in your chest region as a part of your necklace. I am

unfortunately not any one of those; How am I going to

get near You? Where am I going to seek for You?"

 

In the Bhajan "Pyare Dharsan", she begs during her

Viraha Taapa for Govardhan Giridhari to appear before

her and submits that she is HIS BOND-SLAVE FOR

ENDLESS BIRTHS. AndAL states her eternal servitude

to the Lord of Brindhavan in the verses of Thiruppavai:

"YERRAIKKUM YEZEZH PIRAVIKKUM UNTHANNODHU

URROMEYAVOHM ,UNAKKEH NAAM AATCHEYVOHM---

UNRANNODHURUAVEL NAMAKKU INGHU

OZHIKKA OZHIYAADHU ".

 

In her PadaavaLi (pada 77) ,she says " I am mad for Your

Love. I have surrendered to You. I do not know of any other way."

Like in Nacchiyaar Thirumozhi , "Nooru Naarum Pozhil " ,

where AndAL invites the Lord of Thirumalirum Cholai

to partake a feast of butter and Akkaravadisil spread out

in hundred vases , Meera offers a Raja Bhogam to her Lord.

The only difference between Meera and AndAL is that

Meera offers Krishna in heer Pada "Yeh Jeebhyaam Giridarlaala ",

FIFTY SX ENTREES AND THIRTY SIX SIDE DISHES .She begs

the Lord to rush to her palace and taste the royal feast prepared

lovingly for Him(Pada 47).

 

As in the last decade of N.T of AndAL, Meera celebrates

Krishna in her famous bhajan " Baso More" as the light of her

life. She invites Krishna to come and live within her eyes. He

agrees and she describes her delectable experience here.

She sings of His ravishing form , the lustre of His Peethaambharam,

His resplendent jewels and of the divine music that

flows from His flute. This experience of the Lord of Brindhaavanam

is identical to the experience of AndAL in her last decade of N.T,

where she describes her Darsanam of the Subhaasrayam

(Thirumeni ) of the divine cowherd with cloud-like hue playing with

His friends and entertaining them with His enchanting Venu Gaanam.

 

I offer my salutations to the Paramaacharyaa of

Sri Perumpudhur for unifying the land through His

teachings and creating Sri Vaishnava Communities

in all corners of the globe today.
