Hare Krsna Dear Devotees,
PAMHO.
My humble request - do not have this discussion. It is considered a big sin to compare Radharani with anyone. She is non different from Krsna. How can there be any comparison between Radha rani and any other devotee.
Mirabai is a very big devotee no doubt. If you read her biography by Kunwari Ranawat, her descendent from both her in laws side and parents side, you will understand who Mirabai was in the Vrindavan pastimes. She was a gopi named Madhavi who had been forbidden by her mother to see, or even hear about Kaanha. When she finally saw Kaanha during the Govardhan lila, she became a devotee but by then it was too late for her. She was reborn as Mirabai in Kaliyuga. How can she be compared with Radharani? It would be blasphemy.
I have the maximum possible respect for Mirabai, but I will not belittle Srimati Radharani by this comparison.
Haribol,
Your servant,
Rashmi
Hare Krsna Mataji,

We've all heard of this katha of Madhavi Gopi being born again as Mirabai, in Kaliyuga but I'm having doubts, how do the people know this? This rebirth is given in some authenticated sources or is just known by the people for how can they even know the exact Lila Sri Krsna performed with Madhavi Gopi then, in Dwapara Yuga.
I love and respect Mira bai and her compositions so so much that reading it repetitively made me wonder, how do we actually know about her past life. So just this thought came to my mind.
Your Servant,
Hari Bol.
