Mira's Lord Is None Other Than Krishna

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved. The three poems presented are alike in many ways, as they all speak about love and relationships.

The dictator’s name is Trujillo and he has spies that watch what people do and they make sure that everyone is doing what they are supposed to.

I would no longer allow myself to be jealous that she was perfect and I was marred by polio. I would love her completely, selflessly.” (Ratner, 204).

also highlights her identity as the queen when she says “I love and yet am forced to seem to hate”. This illustrates her role as a queen to put her country before her own desires. Although it is believed that this poem was addressed to the French Duke Anjou, Queen Elizabeth I also uses personification to represent the idea of love (142).

Hearing the American calling out for her, she hesitates. This single moment defines not only her person, but also the rest of her life, and it is a risk she is willing to take.

At first glance, it may seem as though the advice of Krishna and Socrates’ daimonion are saying the same thing, but this couldn't be further from the truth. Krishna wants Arjuna to see the bigger picture and know how his role affects not only him, but all of those around him. On the other hand, Socrates’ daimonion pushes Socrates to do what is right by preventing him from doing actions that it perceives as wrong. Contrasting these philosophical texts, Krishna has to persuade Arjuna to follow his moral duty, while Socrates always complies with his daimonion.

There is no hint of displeasure on her face as she diligently carries out her duty as an ‘ideal wife’. Also why should she have any objection for ‘as long as she lives, a woman’s God and master is her husband’. This scene emphasises the nature of a traditional marital relationship in Indian culture and the presumed duties of a woman as a wife.

The women have to leave their parents’ home where they have spent their entire life. In particular she mentions the wedding night. The wedding night is called Suhag Raat. This is a significant ritual in the life of a newlywed couple in India as it refers to the maiden night after marriage between the husband and wife when they go intimate with physical relationship for the first time with acceptance of the society.

Interestingly, sex before marriage is a taboo in India thus the brides and grooms are usually virgins until their marriage. Thus in Suhag Raat a bride loses her virginity which may or may not be with her consent. “Like all of us, tonight she will open her legs to him” Divakurani express her feelings in a very moving words.
