Jewel-name of Rama
Oh dear! I have got the jewel like name of Rama.
My preceptor has given me an immaculate entity and He has accepted me out of benevolence.||1||
I have achieved the eternal treasure of name of Rama and have lost everything else in the mundane world.||2||
This treasure [of name of Rama] does not diminishes on spending, and a thief cannot steal it. It increases five-fourth times each day.||3||
My preceptor has crossed the ocean of metempsychosis (rebirth cycle) by using the boat like name of Rama.||4||
The Lord of ‘Mira’, is Krishna, Who lifted the mountain Govardhana, and Who is naughty. Mira sings His glories with immense happiness.||5||
Meera (Mira Bai) was a Hindu mystic poet and devotee of Krishna. She was one of the most significant Sants ("true" or "saints") of the Vaishnava bhakti movement. Some 1,300 pads (poems) commonly known as bhajans (sacred songs) are attributed to her. These are popular throughout India and have been translated and published worldwide. In the bhakti tradition, they are in passionate praise of Lord Krishna. In most of her poems, she describes her unconditional love for her Lord and promotes Krishna bhakti as the best way of life because it helps us forget our desires.
