Devotional Poems of Mirabai Paperback

Description

A translation of 202 of the songs attributed to the early sixteenth-century female bhakti poet Mirabai. These poems, widely loved in much of northern India, express an intense love for Krishna and are especially affecting when separation from the divine lover is the theme. Given the dearth of good, easily accessible translations of bhakti poetry, this volume is highly recommended for undergraduate libraries wherever Indian religious are taught.
