They visited Durga Temple. <br />And worshiped the Idol. <br />Meera offered her prayers <br />To fulfil her wishful desires. <br /> <br />Rana was happy to hear <br />Her every simple prayer, <br />But, as usual, his mother, <br />Criticised Meera’s prayer. <br /> <br />She didn’t like Meera <br />Singing about Krishna, <br />As they worshiped always <br />Durga and Shiva Deities. <br /> <br />They reached the palace, <br />And there Meera chose <br />For Krishna an ideal place, <br />Though small, it was nice. <br /> <br />Rana took more interest <br />And he did his best <br />To cheer her up thereby <br />Earn her love slowly. <br /> <br />He joined in her prayers <br />And also sang with her <br />On the glories of Krishna, <br />Which really pleased Meera. <br /> <br />At Meera’s request, he built <br />A temple on a chosen spot <br />For Krishna she had brought. <br />On a good day, he installed it. <br /> <br />From this day, trials started. <br />Little her Rana suspected <br />That Krishna chose her <br />As His own bride earlier. <br /> <br />Her songs, so melodious, <br />Her childish speech, so nice, <br />Her bright face, so innocent, <br />All kept him very patient. <br /> <br />The more good, he did for her, <br />In turn, it affected his mother <br />And his jealous widow-sister <br />Who, as usual, began to murmur. <br /> <br />It displeased them, he knew, <br />But for the sake of a few, <br />He thought it not proper <br />To simply offend her. <br /> <br />Meera, on the other hand, <br />Realized that he was so kind, <br />That she too was soft with him <br />And tried to adjust with him. <br /> <br />Name sake couple they were, <br />Not in any marital pleasures. <br />How far this would go like this? <br />Future alone would decide this.<br /><br />Rajaram Ramachandran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/108-meera-a-temple-for-krishna/
