		Meera was fearless in her nature, simple in her habits, joyous in her disposition, amiable in her deportment, graceful in her behavior and elegant in her demeanor.

		Meera's songs reflect her deepest conviction of a Krishna with whom she is in love, one she seems to have known even in previous births.
