Description

This book on Lal Ded has been constructed by the process of restructuring a lot of literature books and other source material. Care has been taken not to violate the spirit of the original vakh and its meaning. Her vakhs or poetry has been translated widely by eminent scholars, but the authors of this book could hardly find a single book which would contain almost all the available vakhs. It is in this context that the authors have tried to consolidate all the vakhs and prepared a first catalogue of vakhs of the great saint poetess Lal Ded. We have been able to consolidate more than 315 of Lal Ded's vakhs in this book.Some of the vaakhs have their source as audio recordings and some including the word of the mouth.The Kashmiri saint and mystic poet Lal Ded, was married at the age of 12 into a family that was reported to have regularly mistreated her. After becoming a disciple of Sidh Srikanth, she renounced her material life and marriage to become a devotee of the god Shiva. As a mystic, she wandered naked, reciting her proverbs and her vakhs as a peaceful means of engagement with both Shaivism and Sufism.Her poems are emotionally rich yet philosophically exact. The vakhs are splendidly mysterious yet crisply ordered. We have been at work in compilation of Lal Vakh for the last several years. It has been a much tougher and more time consuming job than the authors had bargained for. ...I am holding the framework in this book to the first order test that it be able to take account of a very wide range of complicated and carefully observed matter in a lucid and substantive manner. I am a teacher, a researcher, a scientist, an author and above all a student still having a desire to learn. My research led me to correct many tender beliefs and opinions held about her. Sometimes I have had to reinterpret the text and at places set right the text itself. I admit I may be trying in part to engage you in the process of learning and understanding a person by understanding her vakhs and how they seem to feel. Often to be frank the authors have been grappling with the cryptic and linear meaning of some vakhs any help is deeply appreciated.
