The Story Of Mira's Love

[Originally Written By Swami Budhananda All Rights Reserved Adhyaksha, Advaita Ashrama First Edition by Ramakrishna Mission] Mirabai was one of those totally unself-conscious teachers of supreme love of God, whose manner of loving God became the manner of her teachings. Mirabai was a sixteenth century saint born in Rajasthan, India. Her approach to God as Sri Krishna, was that of absolute love. For expressing her most powerful love of God she composed many moving songs, which became one of the tenderly cherished spiritual heritage of India. The Story of Mira's Love moves everyone who has love of God in heart. Even those who may not like to think of God at all, could be struck by the inspiring quality of God at all, could be struck by the inspiring quality of Mira's most dynamic pursuit of God the Beloved. For writing this small monograph, in good part, the author(Swami Budhananda) depended on Swami Vamadevananda's Mirabai published by 'Udbodhan' Kolkata. The theme of the seed-paper was given as a Sunday sermon at the Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Centre, New York, with the caption, 'Mira: The God-intoxicated Queen' in April 1960. Later on, the same was the subject of a Sunday talk early in 1965 at the Vedanta Society, Hollywood, given under the caption, 'The Story of Mira's Love.' 'The Story of Mira's Love' was first published in the July-August 1965 issue of the Vedanta and the West, a bi-monthly, which used to be published by the Vedanta Society of Southern California. This is now being made available for wider circulation in the form of this small book, enlivened by the sketches of Sri Biswaranjan Chakraborty. Artist Biswaranjan has, by grace, succeeded in good part in capturing with the delicacy of his brush the thores and the abandon of Mira's divine love. It is hoped that the story of Mira's total love for God will energize and inspire lovers of God everywhere in the world. 16 March 1983 Sri Ramakrishna's Birthday New Delhi Swami Budhananda: The original Author of this book 'The Story of Mira's Love.
