An interesting presentation about Lal Ded, a 14th century female mystic and poet from Kashmir. She was a Tantric in the tradition of Kashmir Shaivism, but has been claimed by Sufi Muslims of the Rishi order.
Its founder Nund Rishi is said to have been "breastfed" by Lal Ded, probably an allegorical reference to the female mendicant influencing the future Sufi sheikh!
Lal Ded is also known as Lalleshwari or Lalla Aarifa.
