Lalleshwari/ Lal Ded
Lalla or Lal Ded as she was known, was a rebel female saint of India in fourteenth-century Kashmir. A mystic of the Kashmiri Shaivite sect who inspired and interacted with many Sufis, she created mystic poetry, verses that are among the earliest compositions in the Kashmiri language called Vaks (literal meaning: speech or voice).
Born in Pandrethan (ancient Puranadhisthana) near Srinagar into a Kashmiri Pandit family, she was trained in Trika, a mystic tradition of Shaivism in Kashmir. Married at the age of twelve, she was regularly mistreated by her mother-in-law and husband. She left her marital home for good at twenty-four and renouncing material life, is said to have wandered naked (with her hanging belly covering her private parts) reciting Vaks. Legends abound and several miracles are attributed to her.
Explanation:
Meerabai
Meerabai was a sixteenth-century mystic poet and devotee of Krishna who has been claimed by the North Indian Hindu tradition of Bhakti saints.
Born into a royal family in what is now Rajasthan, she was the only child of her parents. After her mother died when she was five, she was sent to her grandparents, who were devout worshippers of Vishnu. She was educated in music, religion, politics and government.
Most legends about Meera mention her disregard for social and family conventions, her devotion to god Krishna, her treating Krishna as her husband and her being persecuted for her religious devotion.
Her husband died sometime before her father passed away when she was around 30. The hostility increased as Meera refused to commit sati. She became more detached, frequenting the temple, discoursing with sadhus, and dancing before the deity as she wrote in one of her poems.
Gangasati
Gangasati, a medieval saint-poet of the bhakti tradition, composed devotional songs in Gujarati that have been handed down through the oral tradition.
She was born in a Vaghela Rajput family in the Saurashtra region of present-day Gujarat. She was married to Kahlubha, who shared her love of bhajan and satsang. Providing hospitality to sages and pilgrims was an important part of their lives. They had a son, Ajobha, who was married to Paanbai.
The story goes that to prove his spiritual powers, Kalubha once resurrected a cow but later regretted it and decided to end his life. Gangasati urged him to let her take samadhi too but he asked her to wait until she had passed on what she knew to Paanbai, their daughter-in-law. She agreed and composed a song a day for fifty-one days – each around a specific theme like nature or the guru-shishya relationship – as instruction to Paanbai, after which she took samadhi.
Her bhajans do not mention any specific deity but refer to god as nirguna, without form or attributes, and are still popular in Gujarat.
