प्रश्न
"Meera Bai was perhaps one of the best known woman poet within the Bhakti Tradition." Substantiate the statement.
उत्तर
Hindu mystic poet Meera, who was devoted to Krishna and went by the name Mirabai and was revered as a saint, lived in the 16th century. Her royal ancestry was Rajput.
She was a prominent poet in the Bhakti tradition for the following reasons:
- She is revered as a Bhakti saint, particularly in the North Indian Hindu tradition. Her name appears in Bhaktamal, proving that by 1600 CE, the Bhakti movement's culture had made her a well-known and adored figure.
- The majority of accounts of Mirabai focus on her flagrant disregard for familial and social norms, her love of Krishna, how she treated Krishna as her husband, and how her in-law mistreated her as a result of her fervour for religion.
- She had a great love for Lord Krishna. Mirabai is a gifted poetess and one of Prema Bhakti's most well-known proponents.
