What do you know about early life of Meerabai?

Meerabai is celebrated as a devotee of Lord Krishna. She was born in 1498 in the Rathore dynasty of Merta to Rao Dua. From her early days, she was a worshipper of Lord Krishna. In her childhood, she would often say, “Mere To Girdhar Gopal Dusra Koi Nahi”.


When she turned 19 in 1517, she was married off to the Mewar ruler, Bhojraj. However, this did not change the devotion she had for Krishna. Bhojraj died after 7 years, and Meera decided to dedicate her life to the service and gesture of Krishna. Since her father Ratan Singh and Maharana Sangha had also died, there was no initial opposition to her worshipping spirit.
