HH Parama Pujya Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji blessed devotees to learn, memorize and practice chanting of the Saundarya Lahari Slokas. Please avail this great opportunity and soak in the divine group-chanting renditions.
In praise of goddess Lalita Devi, many divine hymns such as - Lalita Sahasra Namam, Devi Khadgamala, and Lalita Trisati are famously known and fondly chanted by many with devotion. There are many paths of devotional practices such as mantras, yantras and associated tantras that bestow results on the sadhaka, the practitioner.
Sri Adi Sankaracharya composed numerous devotional hymns in praise of many gods and goddesses out of which, the Saundarya Lahari has a special significance due to its mantra, yantra and tantric significance as well as its culmination of poetic excellence studded with deep yogic secrets of Sadhana and Upasana. Saundarya Lahari – literally means praise about the waves of divine beauty of goddess Lalitha Devi. It is a composition of 100 verses with each Sloka having a mantra, and associated yantra which when worshipped with austerity and devotion for a prescribed period as ordained by gurus, results in both materialistic results as well as spiritual progress with siddhis.
Examples of materialistic mundane results range from removing fear, attaining health, wealth to relief from jail. For yoga sadhakas seeking spiritual advancements, upasana of Saundarya Lahari is known to bestow ashTa siddhis step by step as the seeker makes progress. Secrets of Sri Vidya Upasana and Sri chakra yantra worship are deeply connected inherently in the worship and chant of Saundarya Lahari.
