The Word of Lalla the Prophetess is a book written by Richard Carnac Temple. It is a collection of poems and teachings by Lalla, a 14th-century Kashmiri mystic and poetess. Lalla is known for her spiritual insights and her ability to express them through poetry. The book includes a translation of Lalla's poems from the Kashmiri language, along with commentary and analysis by the author. The poems cover a wide range of topics, including love, devotion, and the search for truth. The book also includes a brief biography of Lalla and an introduction to Kashmiri Sufism, the mystical tradition to which Lalla belonged. Overall, The Word of Lalla the Prophetess is a valuable resource for anyone interested in spirituality, poetry, or the history of South Asia.1924. This work contains the sayings of Lal Ded or Lal Diddi of Kashmir (Granny Lal), known also as Laleshwari, Lalla Yogishwari and Lalishri, between 1300 and 1400 AD. They are done into English verse from the Lalla-Vakyani or Lal-Wakhi and annotated. The authoress of the sayings, as a wandering ascetic and devoted follower of the Shaiva Yoga form of the religion of the Hindus, obtained such a hold on the people of the country that her verses have become a household word. Her songs illustrate her religion on its popular side, though they are not a systematic exposition of Shaivism on the lines laid down by the theologians who preceded her.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
