The Devotional Poems of Mirabai
by A.J. Alston
The poet-saint Mirabai is best known as a queen whose life was full of difficulties because of the stresses between her marriage and her intense spiritual devotion. So complete was her love for God in the form of Lord Krishna that her hardship gave way to supreme ecstasy. Based on the interpretative work of Indian scholars, this book includes 200 of her poems and three essays on her life.
Without my beloved Master
I cannot live.
Body, mind, and life
Have I given to the Beloved.
Fascinated by His beauty,
I gaze down the road
Night and day.
Says Mira: My Lord, accept your servant...
Is all she asks.
