provided seat of accomplishment and learning for the oriental religions
and cultures. Lalleshwari's
contribution has been unique: Exploring the immeasurable depths of the
Divine. This verily transformed her from an ordinary rustic village girl
into a mystical genius.
However, like many other scholarly and religious works of India, foreigners took a special lead in this task. Sir George Grierson and Lionel D. Barnett organized a gathering of learned pandits and these wise sayings were properly interpreted and compiled. Over the years, these Shalokas became preamble to any auspicious recitation in Kashmir; where all faiths adopted it and got equally benefitted. But with the passage of time these verses also got mixed up. We can take humble pride that first time a modern presentation of Kashmiri treasure has been attempted so that this subtle and mystic knowledge is reached to masses in simple, poetic and soul stirring expression. Although lot of collective effort has gone into procurement of material, analysis, interpretation, presentation, music etc. special gratitude is due to a noble Kashmiri (he desires not to reveal his identity) whose deep knowledge and dedication was of invaluable help and gave authenticity to this work. It is a small effort and there is lot to explore. We humbly invite everybody having faith in such values and traditions to come forward, lead and contribute in this endevour.
