Mira Bai. Collection

Mira Bai — a great Indian saint-poetess of the 16th century. For those who follow the path of bhakti (selfless love for God), she remains an inspiring example of the highest achievement on this path — complete union with the... Beloved, with the Lord Himself. The songs of Mira live in the hearts of people to this day. In Indian music, Mira bhajan has become a unique phenomenon. In honor of Mira, temples have been built in India in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh.


 
In this book, the reader will find two complementary narratives about Mira Bai: one in the form of a brief, cautious study, and the second — in the spirit of ecstatic love. The preface presents the image of the legendary Mira, reflected in the mirror of modernity.
