Born a princess in Rajasthan in 1498, Mira (as she is more commonly known) eschewed the marriage her royal family had arranged for her, celebrating instead her right to independence and intense devotion to Krishna in both her life and poetry. In this collection, two acclaimed poets, Robert Bly and Jane Hirshfield, have created lively English versions of Mirabai’s poems, using fresh images and energetic rhythms to make them accessible to modern readers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Flute\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe song of the flute, O sister, is madness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI thought that nothing that was not God could hold me,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut hearing that sound, I lose mind and body,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMy heart wholly caught in the net.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eO flute, what were your vows, what is your practice?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat power sits by your side?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEven Mira’s Lord is trapped in your seven notes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bookduku","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49128287273130,"sku":null,"price":313.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/4063\/7866\/files\/41Wbu83fc7L._SY445_SX342_QL70_FMwebp.webp?v=1787641033","url":"https:\/\/bookduku.com\/products\/mirabai-ecstatic-poems","provider":"Bookduku","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
