This book is intended to introduce the work of the now relatively unknown Hindi
devotional poet Sahajo Bai to readers of Indian literature and those interested
in Hinduism through the provision of a contemporary translation of her major
work Sahaj Prakash. The original text is also given for comparative purposes. It
is hoped that this book will enable the work of this devotional woman poet to be
better known and appreciated within India and abroad, and that readers will use
the book in many different ways, academic and creative, as seems most
appropriate to them.
