• Kashmir weaves a rich tapestry of geographical, cultural, and spiritual heritage. Kashmir Shaivism is the crowning jewel of this spiritual tradition, of which Lal Ded is a brilliant gem, being one of the earliest women gurus of the valley. Shonaleeka Kaul translates 101 teachings of Ded and arranges them in the four chapters of ‘Life of Illusions’, ‘The Search’, ‘The Realization’, and ‘The Way’, mirroring the steps of understanding the illusoriness of this universe, searching for the non-illusory Truth, realising it, and showing the way to other spiritual aspirants. This book is daily spiritual reading.
