RE: Dhyana sloka for saundarya lahiri

[Guest guest]

1. If one wants a dhyAna shloka, one can take the dhyAna shloka-s of shrii

lalitaa sahasranaamam and fix your attention the image of Sri kAmAxI when

you recite these verses.

 

2. But the key question is, why a dhyAna shloka. Typically, you require

dhyAna shloka while performing puja, saying nAmavaLi or sahasranaama etc.

This is because, you want to form a clear mental conception of the devataa.

Even though naamaavaLi or sahasranaama itself describes the devataa, it is

difficult to gather the information and compile it internally in an

harmonious way. Hence, a dhyAna shloka helps one to rivet his attention on

the devataa.

 

3. Works like saundaryalaharI will have a maNgala shloka (sometimes

explicitly), typically the first verse is taken as that. The goal of

saundaryalahari itself is to describe ambaa in four different forms. They

are a) As devataa, second half of the work describes HER beauty part by

part b) in the form of shrii chakra c) in the form of chakras in human body

and d) in the form of mantra (verse 32, 33 etc). The description of b, c,

and d comes in the first part of the work.

 

 

4. Hence, this whole work itself teaches how to meditate on HER and does not

require a separate dhyAna shloka.

 

 

Salutations to ganapati and gurus is a standard practice. The verse bhuumau

.... is for seeking forgiveness. They do not constitute dhyAna.

Atleast according to one source the following is the dhyana Shloka

and is meant for prayogas of Saundaryalahari yantras. However, I am

not sure about its widespread acceptance(of dhyAna).
