Lalla Ded - Life and Poems

LALLA DED: LIFE AND POEMS Translation & Introduction by Paul Smith Lalla Ded is the famous female Bhakti poet/saint from Kashmir who lived at exactly the same time as Hafiz of Shiraz (1320-1392). Her vakhs (poems/sayings) are sung even today in Kashmir. She was married at a young age but the marriage was a failure and she walked out at the age of twenty-four. She became a disciple of Siddha Srikanth. It must have taken a lot of courage on her part to walk out of a marriage and to walk around unclothed as she did. She was treated with contempt by some and much reverence by others, seeing her as a saint and eventually as God-realized. Her two hundred vakhs are some of the oldest examples of Kashmiri written. She was a bridge between Hindu mysticism (Bhakti) and Sufism. Her poems are more influential today than ever, not only in Kashmir. Here are many of her poems with correct form and meaning. Introduction on her Life & Poetry & on Bhakti & Bhakti Poetry. 116 pages.
