MIRABAI AND HER LOVE FOR KRISHNA

David Fenster

 
Baba often spoke about Mirabai and her love for Krishna, and Mehera developed tremendous admiration for this great woman saint. Baba said, "Mira was God-realized by Master Raidas late in life, when she was in her 60's. She was from a high-caste Hindu family, yet her Master was a scheduled caste Untouchable.

"Even though Mira achieved God-realization, this is not what she is remembered for. Her love for Krishna is what is outstanding. Love is the greatest power on earth. That is what God wants, and that is what Mira gave to Krishna."
