Meera Ke Pad
Meera Ke Pad (मीरा के पद) in the Class 7 Karnataka KSEEB syllabus introduces students to the devotional poetry of Meerabai, a legendary 16th-century saint and ardent devotee of Lord Krishna. In these verses, Meera expresses her deep love, devotion, and surrender to 'Giridhar Gopal' (Krishna), viewing him as her only true companion and husband. The chapter teaches students about Bhakti Rasa, emotional devotion, and the historical significance of the Bhakti movement. For board exams, questions usually focus on stanza explanations (Sandarbha Sahit Vyakhya), central ideas, and meanings of traditional Hindi-Rajasthani words used in the text.
