Saundarya Lahari. SC

Saundarya-lahari  is a beautiful poem with spiritual, mythical and tantric principles intricately woven into it. It consists of a hundred and three hymns in praise of the Goddess Tripurasundari. The first forty-one stanzas are referred to generally as the Ananda-lahari (the Ocean of Spiritual Bliss), while the second part gives its name to the whole book.

The highest forms of worship envisaged by the Vedic seers are far above the level of many. Therefore, other suitable forms of worship  have  been  formulated.   One such is the  Sri-vidya,  worship of the  Supreme in its  feminine  aspect. In  this  text, Sri Samkaracarya expounds that worship in its pristine purity.
