There might be many paramparas(lineages) likewise originating from Dattatreya with teachers different from those mentioned above. The main teachers of SriVidya are DakshinaMurti, Ananda Bhairava, Hayagriva and Dattatreya. ___________ Get 25MB, POP3, Spam Filtering with LYCOS MAIL PLUS for $19.95/year. http://login.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus&ref=lmtplus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 Shri mAthrE namah We will know from "Harshananda" s Guruparamparam Shankatrabhagavathpaada is from Dakshinaamurthy Parampara. Corrections are wel come "adi_shakthi16 <adi_shakthi16" <adi_shakthi16 wrote:Thank you shri satish! you have given a great explanation... i have also heard it being mentioned that it is not 100% sure who the authotr of saundarya lahari is... but in any case, it is beautiful composition -full of lyrical beauty and very poetic! above all, bhakti flows like a water gushing from a waterfall! but on harshananda's web page i found this description of guru parampara,,,, SRI GURU PARAMPARA Sri Kameshwara - Sri Parabhattarikamba Sri Dakshinamurthy Sri Anandabhairava Kapila Atri Vasishta Sanaka Sanandana Bhrigu Sanatsujata Vamadeva Narada Gautama Shunaka Shakti Markandeya Kaushika Parashara Shuka Angirasa Kanva Jabali Bharadwaja Vedavyasa Bhagavan Sri Sri Govindabhagavatpadacharya Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpadacharya Sri Sureshwaracharya Nityabodhaghanacharya Jnanottamacharya Jnanagiri Simhagiri Ishwaratirtha Narasimhatirtha Vidyashankaratirtha Bharatitirtha - I Vidyaranya Chandrashekhara Bharati - I Narasimha Bharati - I Purushottama Bharati - I Shankara Bharati Chandrashekhara Bharati - II Narasimha Bharati - II Purushottama Bharati - II Ramachandra Bharati Narasimha Bharati - III Narasimha Bharati - IV Narasimha Bharati - V Abhinava Narasimha Bharati Sacchidananda Bharati - I Narasimha Bharati - VI Sacchidananda Bharati - II Abhinava Sacchidananda Bharati - I Narasimha Bharati - VII Sacchidananda Bharati - III Abhinava Sacchidananda Bharati - II Sri Sri Sri Ugra Narasimha Bharati - VIII Sri Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Narasimha Bharati Sri Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati - III Sri Sri Valukeshwara Bharati Sri Sri Vidyabhinava Valukeshwara Bharati Sri Sri Sri Shankaranandanatha Harshanandanatha ********************************************************************** as u know our harsha is initiated in sri vidya and he has listed shankara bhagvatapada's name! ********************************************************************** on another note, our shankara beloved in manasic puja and believed in samaya method of worship - he was not into panca makaras or kaula worship... also, true our beloved shankarapada has composed devotional poems on almost all god and goddesses... but his compostions on devi are also well-known! devi herself appeared to him in the kailasa mountains and prepared him for a debate on shakti worship... his compositions on devi include but not limited to... 1) annapurnashtakam 2) tripurasunariashtakam 3) kanakadhara stotram 4) bhavaniashtakam 5) sharada stotram 6) kamakshi 7) meenakshi etc... in my opinion, although outwardly shri adi shankara appeared to be a jnani , he was a bhakta through and through as is obvious from all his devotional compostions such as baja govindam, govindashtakam, lakshmi narsimha stotram and devi stotrams... salutations to our respected jagadguru adi shhankara , a bhakta and a shakta par excellance. om sri matrayaii nmaha AUM shrImAtre namaH AUM namaH shivAya AUM namaH shivAbhyAm Archives : http://www.ambaa.org/ (Edited) : /messages// Contact : help Your use of is subject to Mail Plus - Powerful.
