For love of the dark one: songs of Mirabai | M?r?b??, Andrew Schelling

1 post | 3 read

Erotic, rebellion, spiritual thirst, a strong hint of early feminism, and a steaming animal passion, these are what makes Mirabai's songs irrepressible four centuries after she sang them. To open this book is to get close to the oldest kind of song, sweet and bitter, sage and spontaneous. And to remember why we're on earth.

For love of the dark one: songs of Mirabai | M?r?b??, Andrew Schelling

so-so

Book #3 of the year: “For the Love of the Dark One”

I found this in the back corner of a bookstore in Leavenworth and couldn‘t resist. It‘s a book of poems/songs by an Indian princess, Mirabai, in the 1400s-1500s. Mirabai rejected her husband‘s family, status, and wealth to pursue her love and worship of Krishna. This collection is erotic, devout, and an interesting look at one woman‘s rebellion.
