Karmabai (20 January 1615 – 1634) was a Teli known as- Bhakt Shiromani Karmabai. She was born on 20 January 1615 in the family of Jiwanji Dudi 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 upon a time he had some work outstation, so he instructed her to
offer the food(bhog) to the lord and then only she should eat. Karma was
very young and she took this instruction literally. Next morning she
woke up early and made khichda for offering the Lord. But when she saw
that lord is not eating, sincere towards her father's instructions
innocent karmabai did not eat anything at all and waited for lord to
come and eat first. Lord Krishna was very impressed by her determination
and showed mercy on her. He himself appeared before her and ate her
khichda. He followed the same routine till her father didn't returned.
When her father returned she told him everything, her father was shocked
in disbelief and thus karma pleaded lord to appear once again to prove
her true. And very merciful lord Krishna did appeared once again to keep
his devotee's respect.

Jeemo mhara syam dhani jeemavai beti Jat ki !!
Karmabai took a living samādhi on 25 July 1634
