Saint Mira Bai: Avatar of Radha

Mira Bai is widely known as an incarnation of Radha, the consort of Lord Krishna. Mira's earthly life was full of troubles, yet she kept up an undaunted spirit by the strength of her devotion and the grace of her beloved Krishna. An embodiment of love and innocence, her heart was the temple of devotion for Krishna. There was kindness in her look, love in her speech, joy in her discourses, and fervor in her songs.

She taught the world the way to love God. She rowed her boat dexterously in a stormy sea of family troubles and difficulties and reached the shore of supreme peace--the kingdom of love. Her lyrics infuse faith, courage, devotion and love of God. Her Bhajans (devotional songs) still act as a soothing balm to the wounded hearts and tired nerves.
