shivaanandalaharii - compilation from archives

[Guest guest]

shivaanandalaharii is one of the classical resources on bhakti.

Traditionally, based on naarada bhakti suutra, bhakti is defined as parama

prema ruupa. Our acharya's definition makes bhakti almost like

nidhidhyAsana (see vivekachuuDamani, sva svaruupa anusandhaanam bhaktiH iti

abhidhiiyate). Even here in verse 61 (see below) one can see that

undercurrent.

 

There there is anonymous sanskrit commentary on shivaanandalaharii (see

reference below). I requested one of my friends to post it verse by verse,

however, she finally declined. Hence, I thought, I will start posting and

compiling it (see verse 29 below for sample). In that context, I was taking

stock of what has been posted on this subject before and here is what I

could find.
