Lal Ded - The Mystic Poetess of Kashmir: Video and Discussion
Details
Hello everyone! For our second meeting, I decided to focus on another offering from Let's Talk Religion, the scholarly yet accessible channel of Filip Holm. And by way of experimenting with the different possible formats for discussion - since Abide's conference room prominently features a big screen TV - I am planning to feature this 20 minute video to start the meeting as a springboard for ensuing conversation.
For anyone who would like to view the video beforehand, the link is provided below, though prior viewing is not required. Filip Holm presents what I hope to be an interesting and accessible window into the life and teachings of Lal Ded, a remarkable 14th century female poet, saint and mystic of the Kashmiri Shaivist tradition.
