Guest guest Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Namaste, Thank you so much! Wow, there's so much there to explore! Can anyone tell me more about Shri Aadi Shankara or more about the context of this document. I see that it is tantric. Very elaborate. Must say, my favorite part so far is the quote below. Thank you for pointing out to me that the entire document is there for me to peruse, what a gift! Blessings, pr , "N.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Pranam, Prainbowji. I am glad that the verse from Saundaryalahiri is your favourite. Sri Aadi Shakarar is a great saint who was born in Kerala. He wrote many famous slokas and stotras. For instance, Saundarya Lahiri, Ananda Lahiri, Kankadhara stotra, Bhaja Govindam and so on. When you read the translation of Kanakadhara stotram, you will be overwhelmed with the poetical genius of the Acharya. Try these links for more info on him. http://www.freeindia.org/biographies/shankara/ http://kiran.phpsites.com/shankaracharya/ I am sorry that you are currently unemployed. Don't worry. Maa will take care. I will pray for you. Maybe, this is trite but true. Whatever happens, it is always for our own good. Have faith and be strong. It will pass. With Love Your sister Shankaree Let my every word be a prayer to Thee, Every movement of my hands a ritual gesture to Thee, Every step I take a circumambulation of Thy image, Every morsel I eat a rite of sacrifice to Thee, Every time I lay down a prostration at Thy feet; Every act of personal pleasure and all else that I do, Let it all be a form of worshiping Thee." >From Verse 27 of Shri Aadi Shankara's Saundaryalahari BT Broadband - Save £80 when you order online today.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Namaskar Shankaree, Thank you for your kindness. The stories about Sre Aadi Shakarar are very interesting. How wonderful that such devotion and insight are valued in India. It would be nice if there was something similar here in the U.S. When I visited Chandigarh I was so impressed at how casually and easily the subject of spiritual matters came up over meals and among acquaintences. It was a pleasure. It reminded me of the small community that I travel in here. I do trust the Goddess to care for me, who else can? I have printed out that verse so that I can add it to my meditations and carry it around with me. I do appreciate your prayers.
