Karmabai (original) (raw)

Karmabai (20 January 1615 – 1634) was a Jat known as- Bhakt Shiromani Karmabai. She was born on 20 January 1615 in the family of Jiwanji in the village Kalwa situated in Nagaur district. She was a devotee of Krishna.The story goes like this. Karmabai's father was a devotee of Krishna. Once he had to do some work away from home, so he instructed Karmabai to have food only after offering the food (bhog) to the lord. Karma was very young and she took this instruction literally. Next morning she woke up early and made khichdi for offering it to the Lord. But when she saw that lord was not eating, the innocent Karmabai did not eat anything at all and waited for lord to come and eat first.
