Meera, also known as Meera Bai or Mirabai (1498-1546) was a Hindu mystic
poet and devotee of Krishna God. Most legends about Meera mention her
fearless disregard for social and family conventions, her devotion to
god Krishna, her treating Krishna as her husband, and she being
persecuted by her in-laws for her religious devotion.
Thousands of devotional poems in passionate praise of Lord Krishna are attributed to Meera in the Indian tradition, but just a few hundred are believed to be authentic by scholars, and the earliest written records suggest that except for two poems, most were written down only in the 18th century.
What devotion! What divine love for the lord!
