Devotional Songs of Narsi Mehta

Narsi Mehta was the greatest and perhaps the most significant bhakta-poet of Gujarati. His 100 songs translated here include 40 songs of the Smgara na pado, 30 verses of Smgara Mala and 30 philosophical/devotional songs. The 70 verses from the two Srngara collections treat the theme of Radha-Krsna love play in a manner similar to the Gita-Govinda. A hundred songs, representative of Narsi Mehta's philosophy, social message and the portrayal of love-play between Radha and Krsna are for the first time translated into simple and direct English verse.
