This book represents the proceedings of a National Seminar on
"Remembering Lal Ded in Modern Times" conducted by
Kashmir Education, Culture and Science Society in New Delhi on 12
November, 2000. Lalleshwari or Lal Ded, according to late Prof. Jayalal
Kaul, has been the greatest genius of Kashmir of all times. This book has
many eminent writers of modern period who have recollected the genius of
Lal Ded for the modern world. Lal Ded was living in the 14th century
in Kashmir. In spite of long interval of history, Lal Ded is remembered in
every home even in modern period. Her Vaaks, or sayings, represent the best
teachings for human kind today to seek unity and harmony between people of
all religion and races. Her poetry is all inspiring. Her philosophy of
life represents the highest science of life. She can be the leader to
combine science and humanism world over, and once again establish a
peaceful and melodious world of joy and happiness. Kashmiris in general
and Indians and the people of the world are inspired by Lalleshwari’s
teachings. This book and the seminar by KECSS cannot possibly touch all
aspects of life and times of Lal Ded. However, a laudable attempt is made
to recall Lal Ded for creating a joyful and harmonious world in Kashmir
and the rest of India and the world. Hindus, Muslims and people of all
faith remember Lal Ded with great reverence. This book should be of
world-wide interest.
