Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Sant Mirabai was a Rajput princess and Krishna bhakti poet-saint whose devotion survived every attempt to extinguish it. When her royal in-laws handed her a cup of poison and called it a sacred offering, would she drink it and die, or would the Lord of Braj turn the draught to nectar?The royal house of Mewar received a well-born bride but did not realize they had welcomed a fire. After the death of her husband Bhoj Raj, the household closed around her, and her sister-in-law Uda Bai and brother-in-law Vikramaditya tried to break her spirit. They sent her a deadly cobra hidden in a basket and a cup of poison disguised as a sacred offering, yet she opened the basket to find a garland and drank the poison with praises to Giridhar Gopal. Defying a command to drown herself in the river, she picked up her veena and walked out of the palace of Chittorgarh forever. This volume follows her onto the open roads of pilgrimage, tracing her steps to Vrindavan, Mathura, and Dwarka as she composes the radiant padas and bhajans that still echo across India.The poison cup: the miraculous survival of a deadly draught given by her own in-laws.Veiled royal visitors: the luminous morning when the emperor Akbar and his court musician Tansen arrived disguised as pilgrims to hear her sing.Sacred pilgrimage roads: her fearless departure from Mewar to wander among the saints and bhaktas of Vrindavan.Songs of longing: the great devotional lyrics of her mature years composed in Braj bhasa and Rajasthani.Book Two of The Bride of the Dark One: The Life of Sant Mirabai.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. She Was Given Poison. She Drank It as Prasad.Princess. Prisoner. Pilgrim. Poet. When the in-laws of Mirabai placed a cup of poison before her, she did not plead for mercy. She did not flee. She lifted it to her lips, offered it to Krishna, and drank - and the poison became nectar. This is not legend. This is the blazing, lived reality of the most fearless bhakti saint India has ever known.Poison into Nectar follows Mirabai - Mira - from the royal halls of Rajasthan through exile, conspiracy, and relentless persecution, all the way to the luminous freedom found only on the other side of complete surrender. Every trial her enemies devised became fuel for a love that could not be extinguished. Every cruelty poured forth as song. The result was the most radiant devotional poetry ever offered at the feet of the Dark Lord of Vrindavan.The trials she survived - the poisoned cup, the basket meant to be her coffin, the commands of Vikramaditya she refused, and the doors they tried to close against herThe roads she walked - from the palace that did not know what had entered it, through exile, to Vrindavan, Mathura, and DwarkaHer songs as living fire - the padas and bhajans of Mira explored as transmissions of grace, poured from the very heart of persecutionThe freedom she entered - the gate she walked through and did not look back, and the belonging that was always hers: to everyone, and to only OneWritten for devotees of Krishna, followers of the bhakti tradition, and all seekers who approach sacred lives not to dissect them but to be transformed by them. This is not an academic study. Walk with Mira through the darkness and discover, as she did, that no darkness can survive in the presence of that Love.Book Two of The Bride of the Dark One: The Life of Sant Mirabai. Book Two of The Bride of the Dark One: the trials and freedom of Sant Mirabai. The poison cup that became nectar, the palace doors she walked through, and the songs that poured from the fire as she made her way home to Vrindavan. This item is printed on demand.
