Frases de Mirabai

Mirabai foi a mais importante poetiza hindu da Índia medieval e juntamente com Tulsidas uma das grandes responsáveis pelo desenvolvimento do idioma hindi moderno, especialmente do dialeto rajastani. Seus poemas e canções, a pesar de forte apelo popular, são tema de estudos acadêmicos e de debates entre eruditos hindus da atualidade, dada a importância histórica e literária de sua obra.

Seus poemas e canções, denominados bhajans fazem parte da tradição religiosa denominada bhakti, ou do amor devocional, dirigido principalmente a Krishna. Juntamente com Tukaram, Kabir, Guru Nanak, Tulsidas, Ramananda e Caitanya, Mira é considerada um dos expoentes da tradição hindu de bhakti.

Mira nasceu como uma nobre , no Rajastão e fazia parte de um dos mais importantes clãs locais, os Rajputs. Ela casou-se com o príncipe Bhoj Raj e se tornou a rainha de Chittor, a cidade estado tida como a mais importante de todo Rajpur.

A sua imensa devoção por Krishna a fez desposá-lo em segredo e com a morte de seu esposo ela se recusou a cometer sati. Essa atitude fez com que o regente do trono passasse a perseguir Mira, tramando por sua morte e tentando levá-la a cabo por algumas vezes.

Mira abandou a corte e passou a peregrinar pelos locais sagrados ligados à vida de Krishna, tais como Mathura, Vrindavana e Dwarka, compondo os seus poemas e cantando os seus bhajans, em grande êxtase devocional, até que por fim ela milagrosamente foi absorvida por uma deidade de Krishna em Dwarka.

“For your sake, I gave up all pleasures,
Now why are you making me long for you?
You create the pang of separation inside the bosom
So that you can come and quench it?
O! Lord! Now I will not leave you
Smilingly, call me soon!
Meera is your servant in birth after birth
Unite me with you in every limb.”

“One night as I walked in the desert the mountains rode on my shoulders
and the sky became my heart,
and the earth - my own body, I explored.
Every object began to wink at me, and Mira wisely calculated thinking,
My charms must be at their height
now would be a good time to rush into his arms,
maybe He won't drop me so quick.”

“That dark dweller in Btaj
Is my only refuge.
O, my companion,
Worldly comfort is an illusion,
As soon as you get it, it goes
I have chosen the Indestructible for my refuge
Whom the snake of death
Will not devour.
My Beloved dwells in my heart,
I have actually seen that Abode of Joy.
Mir’s Lord is Hari, the Indestructible
My Lord, I have taken refuge with Thee
Thy slave.”
