Summary of the Book
Phagun Ke Din Char Re, literally 'Four more days of Phagun', is a transcription of a discourse by the revered, Sou. Shakuntala Agate on a composition by 16th century saint-poetess and Princess, the incomparable, Sant Meerabai.

'Phagun Ke Din Char Re' put to music by contemporary musicians, is a renowned composition by 'Sant Meerabai' not just in folk music but even to average music lovers in India. It is a beautiful description of the melancholy mood of the poetess as the love of her life is not around to celebrate the color festival, a centuries old ritual celebrated all across India in the month of Phalgun (March/April according to the Gregorian calendar). It is thus a severe shock to realize that the ostensibly simple love song is in fact a description of an extraordinarily numinous experience of 'Sant Meerabai' and an astonishingly vivid expression of bridal mysticism. Uncovering the uncommon from the seemingly common is almost a literary forte of Sou Tai. During her commentary on these songs, she is so completely in tune with 'Sant Meerabai' it almost sounds in first person.

Sou Tai, explaining the 'real' meaning of the song, sites numerous tales from the lore of Shree Krishna and Shree Radhaji as well as various biographical references and incidences from the life of Sant Meerabai. The month phalgun happens to be the last month in the lunar yearly cycle and is thus a perfect symbol for the end of one's life. Thus the lament of the poet that it is a mere few more days for phalgun and why have I have not yet met my beloved (The Divine Infinite). It is evident that when it comes to sublime love and selfless devotion what are mere words or at the most ill-formed notions for the mere mortals are in fact ways of life for the likes of Sant Meerabai.

In this volume (64 pages) Sou Tai tirelessly exhorts the seeker to contemplate on nothing but Him. The simple idea of one's mind focused entirely on Him, when thus isolated and presented in a pure form by Sou Tai, suddenly feels staggering.
