It gives me pleasure to get LAL-DED vakh recited videos done over a period of time , by me , and to put them together here at one place.

The main purpose of putting it here together (though they have been posted on various pages periodically ) is to get the content available at one place. And to give written word that spoken form as it ought to be with as much of accuracy in pronunciation as possible , as also the spoken form of the word with dialectical variations to get to the soul of the word. (some dialectical forms are non existent now!)

Whether i have succeeded in achieving this objective is for the listeners to judge. And to all those who listen and find any defects /mispronunciations or variations in the spoken word , it is requested to point it out , to help in getting the corrections done now, or in future by people interested in these fields as this is an ongoing process.

It is normal for a person from a Kashmiri speaking household to be acquainted with few Vakhs from childhood and later experiencing them being used proverbially in day to day conversations sometimes .That is the pointer to the reality about the tremendous influence this great poet /saint has had and on people of her time and thereafter, and the reason that the content whatever is available now having got preserved verbatim and passed on from generations to generations thereafter .

It has also been my endeavour to club some musically rhyming verses together which by no means is any indication that that they might have been spoken in continuity .

It is not my intent to comment or elaborate on any of these Vakhs , though after reading and reciting them over and over again and having a fairly good knowledge about the usual spoken Kashmiri language , makes me to put some observations .. 1-The bedrock of these messages (Vakhs ) is the realization of the self in relation to whole creation and the creator (Shiva).The conceptualization of Shiva , and its omnipresence .The oneness of creator and the created , the divinity associated with whole process of creation and the never ending process governing creation and dissolution and all such ideas falling in realms of spirituality , thus making them great and divine narrations .The ease with which she is able to garland the these verses wit similes , metaphors ,related to native place and using them to perfection make them quintessentially LALDED mark, as a too enlightened person a yogini /mystic /saint and poet playing with words unparalleled and of highest order

As such with all this authority at her command she teaches , advises , and even sometimes admonishes , the receptive audience (most of them seem to be well versed with the practices of dharma and karma and that is why they are receptive), who seem to be assimilating it instantaneously , and then transmitting it in vacuum of unwritten word from generation to generation.

A basic concept about energy chakras (Nadhi Chakras). Pranayam , , the flora and fauna of the place where these divine eruptions have taken place , the spiritual ethos related to basic thought of Liberation( Mukhti), keeping in mind the one ness of existence , the never ending process of creation and dissolution , is surely going to help in understanding and enjoying the poetic content of high value .

As we go on listening / reading this content , it becomes too obvious that she says a big NO to dogmas of all sorts .But here is an emphasis on living a healthy life full of duty (from a king to common man) , and to be in harmony with nature and its creation.

Lastly i must thank all those known and unknown friends who have listened , commented and encouraged me to do all this .................( to be contd . )
