Born in New York City on August 8, 1940, she attended Great Neck High School on Long Island in New York, graduating in 1958.

She was one of three children.

1959

She went on to Barnard College and Columbia University, where she earned her B.A. in philosophy from 1959 to 1962 and her M.A. in Indic Studies from 1962 to 1964.

1962

During this period, she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, was awarded the Montague Philosophy Prize, and was awarded her B.A. magna cum laude at Barnard in 1962.

1967

All of these texts were published by Columbia University Press and the Bhagavad-Gita was also published by Bantam Books also.

Her translation of the Bhagavad Gita, the most popular of the Hindu texts, was extremely successful, surpassing the popularity of many prior translations.

Her work introduced a broad American audience who had not heard the Bhagavad Gita until they encountered the Bantam edition.

She was known among the academic community in humanities and South Asian studies for her ability to present Indian poetry to the layperson in a manner that was aesthetically pleasing and academically rigorous.

She popularized Indian literature without diluting the intellectual integrity.

1968

Miller proceeded to earn a Ph.D. in Indic Studies, with distinction, from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968.

She was one of the last of the era of scholars trained by the W. Norman Brown and Stella Kramrisch, her two supervisors.

1977

In 1977, she published a book, Love Song of the Dark Lord, the English translation of the well-known Sanskrit epic poem, Gita Govinda.

1978

Miller’s enthusiasm for responsible popularization was demonstrated in the pride she took in her role as advisor to the director Peter Brooks in his production of the Mahabharata, which was mounted at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 1978 and televised on the Public Broadcasting Service, an event that was seen as watershed in American popular awareness of Indian culture.

1979

Following her promotion in 1979, Dr. Miller was awarded the Award in Higher Education by the National Council of Women.

Miller’s work was not confined to Sanskrit; she published a translation of the Spanish poems of Agueda Pizarro de Rayo entitled Sombraventadora (Shadowinnower) in 1979.

Miller was an active and powerful presence in shaping the future direction of Barnard and Columbia.

She served on the executive committee of the Southern Asian Institute at the School of International Affairs, was president of the Society of Fellows in the Humanities, and was the co-director of the Barnard Centennial Scholars Program, and was part of the editorial board of the Columbia University Press series of Translations from the Oriental Classics.

She nurtured many students and fought strongly to ensure that their talents were rewarded and encouraged by grants and research posts.

At a time when female scholars were still very much in the minority, Miller was trailblazer.

1983

In 1983 she was made the Samuel R. Milbank Professor of Asian and Middle Eastern Cultures.

As part of her research, Miller frequently traveled to India.

Miller edited and translated many works of Sanskrit poetry and drama.

G. Archer, which she edited after his death.

Miller was a Guggenheim Fellow and was given grants by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Ford Foundation, the Smithsonian Institution, the American Council of Learned Societies, the American Institute of Indian Studies, and the Social Sciences Research Council.
