Mira Prem Diwani

मीरा: प्रेम दीवानी

भारतका सबैभन्दा धेरै प्रसिद्ध महिला सन्त मीराबाई सोह्रौँ शताब्दीमा मेवाडको एक राज्यकी राजकुमारी थिइन् । राजदरबारका तर्फबाट विरोध र अत्याचार हुँदा पनि उनले आफ्ना गुरु रवि दासप्रति आफ्नो भक्ति जारी राखिन् । आखिरमा उनलाई प्रभुसँग मिलाप भयो । प्रियतमसँगको वियोगको छटपटी र मिलापको तीव्र इच्छा प्रकट गर्ने प्रकृतिका मीराका शब्द अनौठो मिठास र भावनात्मक गहिराइबाट परिपूर्ण छन् । मीराका भजन आज पनि भारतमा घर घरमा गाइन्छन् ।

India's most famous woman saint, Mira Bai was a princess in the sixteenth-century Rajput kingdom of Mewar, yet her Guru was Ravidas, a humble cobbler. Despite disapproval and persecution by the royal court, she continued with her devotion to him, ultimately attaining mystic union. She expressed her great longing and anguish in separation from her Beloved in hymns distinguished by their lyricism and emotional intensity. Mira's songs are still sung today throughout India.
