Solution
Mirabai was a Rajput princess married into the ruling family of Mewar (Udaipur). A devotee of Lord Krishna since childhood, she continued to devote her whole time to the Lord’s worship even after her marriage. She, in her devotional songs, says, “People say, Mira has gone mad. I have myself become the eternal maidservant of my Narayana.” Her message was: “There is but one means to experience Lord’s Divine Presence—that is Bhakti.”
