Meera Bai Jayanti

About: Mira Bai, born Ashvin Purnima (born c. 1498, Kudaki, India—died 1547?, Dwarka, Gujarat), Hindu mystic and poet whose lyrical songs of devotion to the god Krishna are widely popular in northern India. Mira Bai was a Rajput princess, the only child of Ratan Singh, younger brother of the ruler of Merta. Her royal education included music and religion as well as instruction in politics and government. An image of Krishna given to her during childhood by a holy man began a lifetime of devotion to Krishna, whom she worshipped as her Divine Lover.
