The Write Tribe 100 words prompt - How do I tellher him about you
The letter D at ABC Wednesday - A story depicting Devotion and Dilemma
It should've been a day of happiness and excitement, of new beginnings and love. It was her wedding day and it should've been a joyful one.
Instead she sat in the temple room in front of her beloved Giridhar Gopal and gazed at the serene face whose bansuri filled her soul with eternal bliss.
How could she love another for she had dedicated her love to him, locked him in her heart and placed her life at his feet.
Tears filling up her eyes, Meera joined her hands together and prayed. "My Lord, how do I tell him about you?"
Giridhar Gopal = Lord Krishna
bansuri = flute
Have a blessed day.

Suzy , your post is so divine.

Thanks Kalpana. I'm sure Meera's heart and mind must've been in great turmoil on that day.

ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle. However this isn't a myth. Meerabai actually lived and loved her Lord Krishna with every breath she took.

ReplyDeleteThanks Aditi. I guess you are right, devotion is a form of showing love.
