Meera Biography

Meera, also known as Meera Bai or Mirabai (1498-1546) was a Hindu mystic poet and disciple of Sri Guru Ravidass, a lower caste shoe maker. She clearly mentioned Ravidas Ji as her Guru and called god with different names like Satguru, Prabhu Ji, Girdhar Nagar, Krishna. She even called him the husband of her soul. Because she followed a lower cast Guru and this did not like her family so they opposed her for following a lower cast Guru as she belonged to a Royal Family of Mewarh and was a princess of Mewarh. But she had too much love for her god and sacrificed everything even her family for god. She is a celebrated Bhakti saint, particularly in the North Indian Hindu tradition.
