Saint Mira Bai (1499-1546)
Thursday June 11, 2009
Mira Bai is widely known as an incarnation of Radha, the consort of Lord Krishna. Mira’s earthly life was full of troubles, yet she kept up an undaunted spirit by the strength of her devotion and the grace of her beloved Krishna. An embodiment of love and innocence, her heart was the temple of devotion for Krishna. There was kindness in her look, love in her speech, joy in her discourses, and fervor in her songs.
She taught the world the way to love God. She rowed her boat dexterously in a stormy sea of family troubles and difficulties and reached the shore of supreme peace—the kingdom of love. Her lyrics infuse faith, courage, devotion and love of God. Her Bhajans (devotional songs) still act as a soothing balm to the wounded hearts and tired nerves.

Listen to a Meera Bhajan in an Indian Raga sung by devotees to please gods and God…

The bhajans are very good. But there is one mistake - many do not regard her as an incarnation of Radha but just as a saint. Although some claim she believed herself to be a reincarnated gopi.
