SBOI Darshan News 13th March Swami blessed us all with His darshan, both, in

the morning and evening! Today 13th March morning Swami came at around 7 .20

a.m. - 9.45 a.m. In the evening Swami came at 3:30 p.m. at around 4.00 p.m.

Swami called for institute warden Mr. Shivashanker Sai & enquired about

something, immediately after he called 2 -3 boys* talked to them & signaled

them to get something, right away the boys went towards Bhajan Mandir & brought

back musical instruments like tabla, harmonium etc. the boy students from

Mirpuri Music College were extra blessed today, apparently they had their

music-practical in front of Swami. It was really amazing to hear these

students sing like qualified & experienced singers. Most remarkably, they

performed like professionals. They captivated hearts and souls of all the

devotees present in Kulwant hall with their devotional Mira** Bhajans. One

could visibly make out that Swami too was enjoying the bhajans. Swami was

selecting the Bhajans and these boys would sing that particular selected

bhajan. Musically speaking bhajan is difficult to describe because it is not

defined by any musical characteristics; it is defined by a sense of devotion

(bhakti). Bhajans cover a broad spectrum of musical styles from the simple

musical chant (dhun) to highly developed versions comparable to thumri. Even

so, these students really were able to express devotion and musical abilities

thru these (Meera) Bhajans. Imagine the good fortune of these students i.e.

singing devotional songs in front of God Himself! Swami was all smiles and very

playful with these boys. These students sang something like ten bhajans from

4.05 p.m. to 5.05 p.m. After the bhajan singing by boys of music college. Swami

desired to walk; Swami got up with lot of difficulty & walked towards the

interview room. After covering 3/4 of veranda by walk Bhagawan wanted to sit on

His chair. On the way to interview room Swami talked to the devotees sitting on

the veranda. Swami went inside the interview room, meanwhile, usual bhajans

were going on outside. Today bhajan mandir was empty since everyone was sitting

outside. Surprisingly, Swami went inside the bhajan mandir & was there for

sometime and came back from the other door. Swami was offered Arathi after 3

bhajans. Swami drove back to his new residence before retiring back to his

residence.. © Source: group *students from Mirpuri Music

College **Meera Bai was one of the foremost exponents of the Prema Bhakti

(Divine Love) and an inspired poetess. She is regarded as an incarnation of

Radha. She sang in vraja-bhAshA, sometimes mixed with rAjasthAni, in praise of

Giridhara GopAla (Shri Krishna), her lord for whom she developed in her heart

the most intense love and devotion. Meera occupies indeed a sacred place in the

history of Indian thought and culture for her deep and passionate religious

devotion, as also for her poetry in which her genius was well revealed, and

which was never bereft of beauty in the true sense of the term. Her odes and

hymns are so rich, sweet and inspiring, not because of any high rhetoric or

dexterity of language, but because they are characterized by a tenderness and

simplicity of feeling as genuine outpourings of a heart completely dedicated to

God. Much legend has gathered around the name of Meera, and there is a good deal

of controversy surrounding her time (when she lived) and connection with the

Mewar ruling family. According to Tod, the historian, she was the queen of RAna

Kumbha of MewAr to whom she was married in 1513. Meera’s Songs and Her Cosmic

Vision Meera had the beautiful cosmic vision. She saw Krishna in trees, in

stones, in creepers, in flowers, thunder, lightning, and in every living and

non-living being. As long as there remains the name of Krishna , the name of

Meera will be forever remembered. It is extremely difficult to find a parallel

to this wonderful personality “Meera”. She was a saint, a philosopher, and a

romantic poet. She was a versatile genius and a magnanimous soul. Her life has

a singular charm, with extraordinary beauty and marvel. She was a princess, but

she abandoned the pleasures and luxuries incident to her lofty placement in

worldly sense, and chose instead, a life of poverty, austerity, TyAga, Titiksha

and VairAgya. Though she was a delicate young lady, she entered the perilous

journey on the spiritual path amidst various difficulties. She underwent

various ordeals with undaunted courage and the conviction that came from the

ideals of Truth that she held. Meera’s songs infuse Faith, Courage, Devotion

and the unconditional Love of God in the minds of the devotees. The songs

inspire the aspirants to follow the path of devotion through a simple sAdhana,

true love, and they produce in the singer and the listener a unique experience

of exhilaration and tranquility at the same time. She immersed herself in the

love of Giridhara Gopala. The name of Giridhara Gopala was always on her lips.

Even in her dreams, she lived in Sri Krishna. Meera was a scholar in her own

right: she is credited with the two poetic works ‘rAg-Govind’ and a commentary

on Jayadeva’s ‘GIta Govinda’, which had had a profound influence on her psyche

as a child. Despite her scholarship, Meera chose to express her love for

Giridhari through the simplest and sweetest of lyrics. Meera’s mystic songs act

as a soothing balm to the wounded hearts. Detailed Darshan news 12th March:
