Guest guest Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 Mirabai accepted Krishna as her husband since childhood days. She always carried Deity of Krishna and worshipped Him as a Vaishnavee! In the palace of her father-in-law, there were priests wanting to offer meat as prasadam- which Mirabai totally rejected. She met Jiva Goawami in Vrindavan. This story goes like this:- When an associate of Mirabai sent a message to Jiva Goswami that Mirabai has come to Vrindavana, and wants to see him, Jiva Goswami replied:- he does not meet any woman. Mirabai sent another message:- that shows that Jiva Goswami still considers himself as a "man" while in Gopi-bhaav, only Krishna is sole "purusha" and every one else is a Gopi! When Jiva Goswami heard this message- he realized his mistake, and immediately apologized to Mirabai and desired to see her. Both had Krishna Katha for few days! Mirabai has considered Chaitanya MahaPrabhu as Krishna and Radha and composed a nice Bhajan:- "Hari naam lau laagee", where she exactly decribes Chaitanya MahaPrabhu as a Sanyasi,shaven head, wearing saffron garb, representing Krishna ( thus leaving behind flute and gopies)! Mirabai is considered as "sahajiya" by some who imitate her! It is not easy to consider Krishna as one's husband- as such "sahajiya" are disregarded, as they fake! There are some incidents mentioning Mirabai and Radha! It is said that Mirabai didn't approve of Radha, as Krishna's beloved! This subject matter is for scholars to comment. At any rate, Mirabai is a Viashnavee and unalloyed devotee of Krishna, worshipping Him as His consort! Tax Center - File online, calculators, forms, and more http://tax.
