Mirabai (Meera) - Selected Poems for Meditation - Hindu Mystic - Poet Bhakti Movement

Mirabai (1502–1556) was a 16th-century Hindu mystic poet and
devotee of Krishna. She is a celebrated Bhakti saint,
particularly in the North Indian Hindu tradition. Mirabai was
 known for the incomparable beauty of the poems and bhajans
she composed and sang in devotion to her beloved god, Krishna.
Born in Rajasthan, she was married against her will to a prince
of Chittor, near the fabled city of Udaipur. Her life was marred
by persecution as she struggled to manifest her ardent desire to
compose, sing and pursue spiritual studies. Though she was
renowned for her talent, her family felt she was bringing
dishonour by not behaving the way a courtly lady should — and
they tried to poison and drown her.
