Well, you should know that in all likelihood the 'Soundarya Lahari' was not written by Adi Shankara, but is only attributed to him, as scholars agree. But as such, it does play a big role in the Dasanami Sampradaya. The truth is, that , as with any great author, such attribution of scriptures are commonplace, many scholars today even doubt that the Vivekachudamani is by Shankara. Neiter is Bhaja Govindam. Nevertheless it's an important Advaita Vedanta text. > The Saunda contains all the TM bija mantras used > by all the Saraswati Sannyasins.
