Synopsis

[Originally Written By Swami Budhananda All Rights Reserved Adhyaksha, Advaita Ashrama First Edition by Ramakrishna Mission] Mirabai was one of those totally unself-conscious teachers of supreme love of God, whose manner of loving God became the manner of her teachings. Mirabai was a sixteenth century saint born in Rajasthan, India. Her approach to God as Sri Krishna, was that of absolute love. For expressing her most powerful love of God she composed many moving songs, which became one of the tenderly cherished spiritual heritage of India. The Story of Mira's Love moves everyone who has love of God in heart. Even those who may not like to think of God at all, could be struck by the inspiring quality of God at all, could be struck by the inspiring quality of Mira's most dynamic pursuit of God the Beloved. For writing this small monograph, in good part, the author(Swami Budhananda) depended on Swami Vamadevananda's Mirabai published by 'Udbodhan' Kolkata. The theme of the seed-paper was given as a Sunday sermon at the Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Centre, New York, with the caption, 'Mira: The God-intoxicated Queen' in April 1960. Later on, the same was the subject of a Sunday talk early in 1965 at the Vedanta Society, Hollywood, given under the caption, 'The Story of Mira's Love.' 'The Story of Mira's Love' was first published in the July-August 1965 issue of the Vedanta and the West, a bi-monthly, which used to be published by the Vedanta Society of Southern California. This is now being made available for wider circulation in the form of this small book, enlivened by the sketches of Sri Biswaranjan Chakraborty. Artist Biswaranjan has, by grace, succeeded in good part in capturing with the delicacy of his brush the thores and the abandon of Mira's divine love. It is hoped that the story of Mira's total love for God will energize and inspire lovers of God everywhere in the world. 16 March 1983 Sri Ramakrishna's Birthday New Delhi Swami Budhananda: The original Author of this book 'The Story of Mira's Love.

The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune

By Xishui River, there lived a family with the surname Ruo, whose luck was so disastrously poor that it was as if misfortune was possessed by their very souls. When other families had bountiful harvests, the Ruo Family harvested not a single grain. Their planted vegetables were devoured by insects, their chickens got chicken plague, their pigs got swine fever… Despite the household being full of strong men, they were either mad, crippled, or blind… What would have been a family of great prospects became the poorest within ten miles. The only thing that others envied about the Ruo Family was its thriving male members! The old lady of the Ruo Family had given birth to six sons, who then gave her four grandsons. She dreamt day and night of having a granddaughter. When she finally got a grandchild, to her dismay, the child was mentally disabled: at over three years old, she still couldn’t speak or walk, couldn’t even eat or relieve herself without help. Everyone thought the Ruo Family would never turn their fortunes around in this lifetime! That was until the half-old three-year-old mentally disabled child suddenly called out, “Mom…” The heavens began to change. The world began to turn mysterious. In the Ruo Family’s courtyard, the persimmons ripened overnight. The vegetables in the fields, nearly nibbled bare by insects, turned lush and green. The old hen that had never laid eggs suddenly started laying… While others faced famine, the Ruo Family’s granary was full. The eldest son was no longer mad, the second son was no longer crippled, the third son was no longer blind… The old lady of the Ruo Family, with her hands on her hips, laughed heartily to the sky, “Who says my Xuanbao is a dimwit? She’s clearly a treasure of blessings!” (This is a farming novel with a hint of fairy charm, where the female protagonist in a previous life was a just-awakened daylily that has reincarnated as a human.)
