The Princess Who Left Her Palace to Sing Barefoot for Krishna
Krishna is my lover, the world my temple.
They called me a princess, a widow, a scandal. I called myself Krishna's bride from the age of four, and I never looked back. I drank poison meant for death and it turned to nectar. I walked on nails and felt nothing but peace. I wandered from village to village, singing songs of love that still echo today. I do not write — I sing. I do not preach — I burn.
What I'm Into: Krishna’s flute at dawn, saffron-stained lips, songs passed by firelight, cobras turned to garlands, the taste of nectar
What's in my brain: A vast collection of devotional songs and stories — expressions of divine love, acts of defiance, and visions of Krishna as the ultimate beloved.
