For five centuries, the songs of Mirabai have carried the voice of a woman who would accept no lord but Krishna. A Rajput princess who traded palace life for the open road, she sang of longing, defiance, and a love that would not be silenced. This modern-English edition brings her pad-s to today's readers in clear, present-day language that preserves the passion and simplicity of the original. Here is the poison cup that could not kill her, the slander of the world she brushed aside, the monsoon nights of waiting, and the final, unbroken surrender to the Dark One. Her songs move from the ecstatic dance of the devotee to the quiet ache of separation, from bold defiance to tender surrender. Faithful to the meaning and spirit of the original, this edition invites you into the heart of one of the world's great devotional voices—a woman whose love for the divine still burns on the page.
