Lalleshwari

[Guest guest]

Here is a description i found

 

Lal Ded, also affectionately called Lalla, Lal Diddi, or Lalleshwari,

was born in Kashmir in northern India. As was the custom, she was a

child bride, married at the age of twelve. After moving into her

husband's family home, she was abused by her mother-in-law and ignored

by her husband. After enduring this mistreatment for several years,

she eventually escaped to take sanyas (initiation into the world of

renunciates) in the Shaivite tradition. Lal Ded became a sadvi, a

wandering ascetic, singing of her bliss and love for the Divine.

 

The name Lalla means, appropriately enough, 'seeker.'
