They were an influential Hindu family and the marriage significantly elevated Mira’s social position. However, Mira was not enamored of the luxuries of the palace. She served her husband dutifully, but in the evening she would spend her time in devotion and singing to her beloved Sri Krishna. While singing devotional bhajans, she would frequently lose awareness of the world, entering into states of ecstasy and trance. However, this just made her family jealous.
