Maitreyí

Maitreyí

Maitreí fue una poetisa de la antigua India. Fue la segunda esposa del famoso sabio Iagñavalkia, que ya estaba casado con Katiaianí.[1]

Maitreí era versada en el conocimiento védico. Sus contemporáneos la llamaron brahma vadiní (‘conocedora de la doctrina del Brahman).[2] Se le atribuyen unos diez himnos del Rig vedá (el más antiguo texto hinduista, de 10 libros o 1.028 himnos o 10.552 richas o 39.831 pada o 432.000 sílabas).[1]

De acuerdo a la leyenda, Maitreí no quería casarse con Iagña Valkia, sino vivir con él como su discípula y compañía espiritual para realizar sadhana o prácticas espirituales. Se acercó a KatiaIaní para expresarle su deseo de vivir con ellos. La sabia accedió y le otorgó su consentimiento.[1]
