Let me be Thy servant, O Lord: I shall tend Thy garden and, as my reward, behold Thy face every day. Of Thee, shall I sing in the lanes and bowers of Bindraban. This Rajput princess Meera, consort of the heir-apparent to the throne of Udaipur in the 15th-16th century, relinquished earthly glories in pursuit of divine love. Her life burned with the pure flame of devotion, inspiring generations with her songs that resonate with profound spiritual truths even today.
