Summary

'A joyful rendition of an iconic text' - Arundhathi Subramaniam 
 
Saundarya Lahari is a popular Sanskrit hymn celebrating the power and beauty of Sakti, the primordial goddess. In one hundred verses, it underlines the centrality of the feminine principle in Indian thought. 
Attributed to Adi Sankaracarya, Saundarya Lahari is a valuable source for understanding tantric ideas. Every verse is associated with yantras and encoded mantras for tantric rituals, and specific verses in the hymn are considered potent for acquiring good health, lovers, and even poetic skills. 
This special audiobook edition of Saundarya Lahari, featuring the complete verses translated and narrated in English by Mani Rao and sung in Sanskrit by Karuna Sivasailaim, is an inspired, lyrical performance that renders the esoteric immediate and the distant near.
