Mirabai: Ecstatic Poems: Versions by Robert Bly and Jane Hirshfield [Paperback]
This collection of Mirabai's poems, translated into English by Robert Bly and Jane Hirshfield, brings to life the voice of one of India's most revered mystical poets. Born a princess in 1498 Rajasthan, Mira defied societal norms to devote herself wholly to Krishna, celebrating her independence and deep spiritual connection through her poetry. The translations feature vibrant imagery and rhythmic language, making her profound devotion accessible to contemporary readers.
One of the standout pieces, "The Flute," captures the enchanting and maddening power of music, illustrating how even the divine becomes entranced by its sound. Through these verses, the collection invites readers to experience Mira's passionate longing and unyielding devotion, showcasing her unique blend of spiritual depth and personal freedom. This work not only honors her legacy but also reintroduces her timeless wisdom and emotional resonance to a modern audience.
