The Wisdom of Mirabai: The Bride of Krishna, the Fire of Devotion, and the Songs of Liberation
The voice of a saint who lived as a bride of Krishna, whose longing and love burned beyond all chains of caste, custom, and fear.
Mirabai, the sixteenth-century Rajput princess who defied a world that sought to silence her, still sings through the centuries. She was widow and wanderer, poet and saint, lover and bride of the divine. Her songs are filled with longing and ecstasy, tears and surrender, the fire of rebellion and the sweetness of union. To hear her is to step into the eternal song of bhakti - the path of devotion that makes God not distant but Beloved.
The Wisdom of Mirabai immerses you in her life and her words, offering a contemplative narrative that flows through her childhood in Merta, her defiance of royal expectations, her perilous years of persecution, and her ultimate disappearance into Krishna's embrace. Each chapter unfolds her wisdom in a continuous stream of story, reflection, and poetry, weaving her voice into ours.
This book is for seekers who long for intimacy with the divine, for readers who wish to encounter the feminine voice of mysticism, and for all who hunger for a wisdom born of tears and ecstasy. Mirabai teaches us that to love is to be free, to surrender is to triumph, and to sing is to live forever.
In this book you will find:
An immersive portrait of Mirabai's life, from Rajput princess to saint of bhakti.
Her most powerful themes: longing, surrender, defiance, freedom, and union.
Connections between Mirabai, Sufi mystics, Sant poets, and the universal song of devotion.
A contemplative narrative that reads like scripture - flowing, lyrical, and transformative.
Step into Mirabai's eternal song and let her wisdom guide your own devotion. Her voice is not past but present, a flame still burning, a song still rising, a call still waiting to be answered.
