À propos de cet audio
This audio is a deep dive conversation exploring the life and enduring legacy of Mirabai, the 16th-century Rajput princess and saint-poet.
The discussion covers:
* The Context of Devotion: What true devotion means amidst modern chaos.
* Mirabai's Radical Life: Her early life seeing Krishna as her companion, her challenging marriage and subsequent widowhood in a strict royal household, and the attempts to silence her devotion, including a poisoning attempt.
* A Symbol of Defiance: How her devotion became a form of spiritual rebellion against patriarchal norms, caste hierarchy (due to her guru, Ravidas), and the societal expectations placed on her.
* Enduring Influence: The relevance of her story today as a symbol of women's empowerment (Nari Shakti) and how her bhajans and story are celebrated in festivals, classical music, and modern popular culture (from Spotify to Bollywood).
* History vs. Legend: The ongoing debate among scholars about the historicity of certain events in her life and the power of her story as a "living idea" that inspires millions.
The speakers ultimately conclude that Mirabai's legacy is a timeless invitation to fearless devotion, love, and spiritual freedom.
