Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Dear Virendra, I would like to take a look at your presentation please. Namo Durge Satyen virendra qazi <virendraqazi wrote: Kashmir Shaivism is a universal spiritual philosophy based on the supreme unity of the individual self with the God. It accepts all the aspects of life in totality and teaches the path of realization through Divine Grace This philosophy stresses that we have to develop inner strength. Many times people fall pray to guilt and self- condemnation or become hypocritical due to endless internal struggle urged by lofty spiritual traditions and practices. Therefore, we have to overcome the dogma of sin, fear and suppression. I am grateful to people all over the world for the overwhelming response to my presentations. I am keen to Share the details regarding our transformation presentation called "Inner Bliss & Harmony". Virendra Qazi, Chairman / Lalleshwari International Trust. Delhi, India. 91 - 9818211796.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Just a suggestion, but when I'm I'm trying to find a book that seems impossibele to find I go to a book finder. They are in the yellow pages. They will hunt for the book for a fee (not a huge fee) if they find your book. So far I've never been disappointed.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Is Lalleshwari that female devotee of Shiva who used to walk around naked? I love her poems; I used to read them in "Speaking of Shiva", a collection of vacanas by Penguin books, and use them in Shiva Puja. Lilith M.

I don't think so, at least I've never heard that of her, though she is described as an avadhut (what's the female form of that word, anyway?).

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Oh, yes, that's right! It WAS Akka Mahadevi I was thinking of.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Namaste Max, Good to see you! I have a book edited by Jane Hirshfield that I greatly enjoy. It's entitled "Women in Praise of the Sacred" subtitled: "43 Centuries of Spiritual Poetry by Women." In it there is a short bio of the poet whose work is quoted. Of Lal Ded it says in part "After completing her training, Lal Ded wandered the countryside in a state of undress, singing and dancing her passionate mystical experience. " Here's an excerpt from one of her poems: My teacher tolde me one thing, Live in the soul. When that was so, I began to go naked, and dance. I think that that's quite beautiful. My partner found a wonderful site on her on the internet: www.koausa.org/kashmiriGems/ LalDed2.html I hope I typed that right. That same book also includes the other poet you mentioned, she is identified as Mahadeviyakka. I find her work very moving. I like this in particular: When I am hungry, The villagers Fill my begging bowl With rice Thirsty, I turn toward The cattle troughs, wells, And streams. For my sleep, Abandoned temples Are blanket enough. And when I am lonely, O white Jasmine Lord, My sould deepens with You Blessings, prainbow , Max Dashu <maxdashu@l...> wrote: > >Is Lalleshwari that female devotee of Shiva who used > >to walk around naked? > > I don't think so, at least I've never heard that of her, though she > is described as an avadhut (what's the female form of that word, > anyway?). > > You must be thinking of Akka Mahadevi, of 12th c south India, who praised > > > "The Lovely Lord, white as Jasmine! > > By the way, thanks to Nora for info on Lallesvari sources. > > -- > Max Dashu > Suppressed Histories Archives > Global Women's History > http://www.suppressedhistories.net > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
