Beschreibung
She Was Given Poison. She Drank It as Prasad. Princess. Prisoner. Pilgrim. Poet. When the in-laws of Mirabai placed a cup of poison before her, she did not plead for mercy. She did not flee. She lifted it to her lips, offered it to Krishna, and drank - and the poison became nectar. This is not legend. This is the blazing, lived reality of the most fearless bhakti saint India has ever known. Poison into Nectar follows Mirabai - Mira - from the royal halls of Rajasthan through exile, conspiracy, and relentless persecution, all the way to the luminous freedom found only on the other side of complete surrender. Every trial her enemies devised became fuel for a love that could not be extinguished. Every cruelty poured forth as song. The result was the most radiant devotional poetry ever offered at the feet of the Dark Lord of Vrindavan. The trials she survived. - the poisoned cup, the basket meant to be her coffin, the commands of Vikramaditya she refused, and the doors they tried to close against her. The roads she walked. - from the palace that did not know what had entered it, through exile, to Vrindavan, Mathura, and Dwarka. Her songs as living fire. - the padas and bhajans of Mira explored as transmissions of grace, poured from the very heart of persecution. The freedom she entered. - the gate she walked through and did not look back, and the belonging that was always hers: to everyone, and to only One. Written for devotees of Krishna, followers of the bhakti tradition, and all seekers who approach sacred lives not to dissect them but to be transformed by them. This is not an academic study. Walk with Mira through the darkness and discover, as she did, that no darkness can survive in the presence of that Love. Book Two of The Bride of the Dark One: The Life of Sant Mirabai.
