Saint. Lover. Devotee. Rebel. Who was Meera after all? We sense her through her songs. We taste her rage, her love. We feel the power of her radical surrender. And yet Meera, one of the most well-loved saint-poets of India, remains an enigma.
This film is part of a Lockdown Film Series called Ajab Mulakaatein, an attempt by the Kabir Project and our friends to travel and meet in wondrous ways despite the odds of the pandemic and its many lockdowns. We made online and some offline excursions into the villages of Rajasthan, Kutch, and Malwa to connect with singers and seekers who have kept the legacy of Meera alive in their singing.
Babu Khan and Nathu Khan Bagarwa, singers of the Mir community from Jamsar, Rajasthan spoke to us about how intimately Meera speaks to them and the transformative power of singing her words.
In stunningly rendered melodies, Bikaneri singer Omprakash Nayak brought us closer to Meera’s ‘nishchay’, her utter determination in the face of all odds.
Folk singers Kaluram Bamaniya from Malwa, and Mooralala Marwada from Kutch
got us grooving to the dance of Meera and singers Mahesha Ram and Bhalu Ram from Rajasthan put us in a hush.
Over Zoom, we conversed with Chandra Prakash Deval, a deeply invested scholar of folk traditions from Rajasthan itself, the land of Meera. Being himself an eminent and awarded poet and translator in Rajasthani language, Deval sahab took us deep into the metaphors of Meera's poetry, underlining the local flavours of her songs, so intimately connected to the everyday lives of people and their cultures.
Neelima Shukla-Bhatt, Professor of Religion at Wellesley College, Massachusetts, spoke from her childhood memory about the power of a Meera song and the spirit of freedom it inspires for her.
Nancy Martin, Professor and Chair of Religious Studies at Chapman University, California, shared moving moments and reflections from her research on Meera, including how people from various social backgrounds have embraced Meera as their own.
As we offer you this film, in these times of the pandemic, we urge you to support the folk artists. Funds raised will be equally shared with artists we recorded with during lockdown. Contribute here: pages.razorpay.com/AjabMulaka...

Mirabai may not be deliberate but she taught us a simple but significant lesson of life "You need to have obsession (it is a greater form of dedication) over goal and you will reach far and beyond". What Mirabai did is worshipping a god which she believed is her husband, and for praising her Lord Krishna she made many Dohe & PAD and in that she dedicated her whole life (though she dealt with some hardship but she still continued).She just did those simple things but because of her dedication she is still remembered after 500 years, her dohe and PAD are made into hyms, bhajans, may be somewhere songs. If we could be as dedicated or obsessed for our goal we could be something more than what we are right now.
P.S.: I also wanted to add one more thin, Mirabai must have died happily (cause in swarg she must have met her beloved gopal)
Touches Meera in everyone. 🌷🙏🏼🌷

Meera was a gopi in her previous birth
She still gives darshan to the seekers
Her name in previous birth was “madhvi”
You can ask any saint in vrindavan about her
thank you
Kamaal!

Incredible rajasthan ❤❤
What will our heart say about Meera now- A lover...a saint...a devotee...a rebel...or a poet?
I stumbled across this channel recently and I just can't get enough of its content.
I'd love to discover similar channels. Do you guys have any suggestions?
Thanks :)
Listen to music from The Dream Journey , they post classical sufi music . It's a gem of a channel like this one .
Ah! Meera thare kain lage gopal?

Like sant Meera, sant Tukaram also was a rebel. Hoping from you to look into the works of Sant Tukaram, because no one can give justice to the work, like you are doing.
yes, that would be great.
Great work team!! Please provide the full version of songs sung by traditional singers in this video, it will make the experience complete.
बहुत अच्छा waha ji wah
Damn! WOW!❤
