This is a reprint of already existing works, and not a new translation. There are many intellectual discourses of Lalleshwari's poetry, but this book does not cover any of that. Rather, this is a book to enjoy from the heart. Lal Ded's poetry, as is, nothing more and nothing less. Welcome, into Lalla's garden of words, meaningful and profound, enlightening and uplifting for the soul.
Lalleshwarri, also known locally as "Lal Ded " 1320–1392), was a Kashmiri mystic and liberated saint of the Kashmir Shaivism school of Hindu philosophy.
Known as Lal Vakhs, her verses are the earliest compositions in the Kashmiri language and are an important part in the history of modern Kashmiri literature.
The first written record of Lal Ded's life is contained in the Tadhkirat-ul-Arifin (1587), a collection of biographies of saints and religious figures written by Mulla Ali Raina, and followed by an account of her life in Baba Daud Mishkati's Asrar ul-Akbar (1654). In these texts, Lal Ded is described as a mystic saint, appearing in the forest to travelers
