Meera - Krishna - Radha

Absence is to love
What wind is to fire
It inflames the great
And extinguishes the small.

One of ancient India's greatest love stories ever told is also the greatest love triangle.

That of Meera - Krishna - Radha.

Krishna was the charismatic blue-skinned God and Radha was a simple peasant girl. They weren't meant to be but they loved each other too much to care, and then there was Meera whose love for Krishna was almost reverential.



While Radha is the face of love's prayers answered. Meera is the epitome of unrequited love. While Radha was showered with rose petals and love, Meera had to cling to the thorns. While Radha wanted her name to be forever taken in the same breath as Krishna's. All Meera wanted was a glimpse of him.


Sometimes you may glimpse your ideal in someone but the situation may not allow you to do anything about this feeling. I cherish such an emotion. It is enough for me if I have found someone worth loving. It may result in something at some point or maybe nothing ever, but the existence of that ideal in my heart is enough for me. For creative people like me, our own sense of self and purpose encourages us to seek divinity in love, and divine love is not likely to be actualised in this life. So it is good enough for me that I am able to live with my kind of love on my own terms, without having to pay the price for it. There was a time when I could not relate to Meera’s one-sided love for Krishna, but today I understand that she lived a divine life. It is better this way…





Ek Raadhaa Ek Miraa Dono Ne Shyaam Ko Chaahaa
Antar Kyaa Dono Ki Chaah Me Bolo
Antar Kyaa Dono Ki Chaah Me Bolo
Ik Prem Divaani Ik Daras Divaani
Ik Prem Divaani Ik Daras Divaani
Ek Raadhaa Ek Miraa Dono Ne Shyaam Ko Chaahaa
Antar Kyaa Dono Ki Chaah Me Bolo
Ik Prem Divaani Ik Daras Divaani
Raadhaa Ne Madhuban Me Dhundhaa
Miraa Ne Man Me Paayaa
Raadhaa Jise Kho Baithi
Vo Govind Meera Haath Bhigaya
Ek Murali Ek Paayal Ek Pagali Ek Ghayal
Antar Kyaa Dono Ki Prit Me Bolo
Antar Kyaa Dono Ki Prit Me Bolo
Ek Surat Lubhaani Ek Murat Lubhaani
Ek Surat Lubhaani Ek Murat Lubhaani
Ik Prem Divaani Ik Daras Divaani
Miraa Ke Prabhu Giridhar Naagar
Raadhaa Ke Manamohan
Miraa Ke Prabhu Giridhar Naagar
Raadhaa Ke Manamohan
Raadhaa Nit Sigaar Kare
Aur Miraa Ban Gayi Jogan
Ek Raani Ek Daasi Dono Hari Prem Ki Pyaasi
Antar Kyaa Dono Ki Pritime Bolo
Antar Kyaa Dono Ki Pritime Bolo
Ek Jit Na Maani Ek Haar Na Maani
Ek Jit Na Maani Ek Haar Na Maani
Ek Raadhaa Ek Miraa Dono Ne Shyaam Ko Chaahaa
Antar Kyaa Dono Ki Chaah Me Bolo
Antar Kyaa Dono Ki Chaah Me Bolo
Ik Prem Divaani Ik Daras Divaani
Ik Prem Divaani Ik Daras Divaani

Ik Prem Divaani Ik Daras Divaani.
