5.0 out of 5 stars
Waterfall of Spirit rain
Kabir once held up a reading to 1500 of his devotees for two days, in order to wait for Mirabai to arrive. That's how important He thought She was. In Kabir's words: You have slept for millions and millions of years. Why not wake up this morning? Thanks to Jane Hirshfield and Robert Bly, for standing in for Mirabai and Kabir...

Better get the long authentic version of these poems
Bly and Hirshfield have made well phrased cries of passion out of Mirabai's poems. I recommend A. J. Allston's edition, however, (also available on Amazon) of The Devotional Poems of Mirabai as giving the poems in longer and more authentic form.

In Kabir's words: You have slept for millions and millions of years. Why not wake up this morning? Thanks to Jane Hirshfield and Robert Bly, for standing in for Mirabai and Kabir. These poems are that good. A waterfall of morning to wash your spirit.

Nice translation...very easily read and comprehended...Very Western flavor
50 poems...Meera IS bhakti....her poems are alive with Love and Longing allowing the reader to experience rather than merely read. Meera allows you to taste Divine Love. Artwork ...pictures...(black & white) Nicely written 29 page Afterword/commentary...
