Pranam
SOUNDARYA LAHARI-ANANDA LAHARI 1 TO 41
Jagad Guru Adi Shankara had visioned the indivisibility or the basic
unity of Parameshwara and Maha Maya as the cyclical process of Existence.
Apart from the broad and face value meaning of each and every Stanza of
ANANDA LAHARI , Adi Shankara sought to express a Sacred and Secret Intent
as per the Introspective and Visionary Capability of any human being‘s
reading-hearing- absorptive ability. Shri Vidya Prayoga Vidhi or the
Interpretation by way of Assimilation of Shri Vidya School Thought enables
by means of ‗Nigudha Pragjna‘ or the latent Import as visualised of Tantra
Vidhana.Thus every stanza of the Ananda- Soundraya Lahari provides the
Gupta(SECRET) Jnana as per the Shri Vidya Prayoga Vidhaana, quite apart
from the mundane meaning of each stanza ]
1. *Shivah shakthya yukto yadi bhavati shaktah prabhavitum*
*Na chedevam devo na khalu kushalah spanditumapi;*
*Atas tvam araadhyam Hari-Hara-Virinchadibhirapi*
*Pranantum stotum vaa katham akrita-punyah prabhavati/*
Bhagavati ! Shri Maataa Shri Mahaaraagjni Shrimat Simhaasaneshwari,

Parama Shiva along with Your invigoration and boost assumes the never
terminating cyclical process in the Universe viz. Srishti-Sthiti- Samhara
or the Creation-Preservation- and Annihilation of the Universe.
Parameshwara is of ‗*sthaanu swarupa*‘ devoid of movement or activity but
once complemented by Your Shakti gets *energised *to invincibility and
supremacy as manifested in the distinct Tri Murti Swarupas of
Brahma-Hari-Haras.
PARAMAACHARYA of Kanchi is quoted: ‗ *Shiva is quiescent* and *motionless
and Shakti that keeps everything pulsating*,(1,0//0,1)(graphics, computer,
morse code, wave theory succinctly)
{*ॐ* *पूर्णमदः* *पूर्णमिदं* *पूर्णात्पूर्णमुदच्यते* *। पूर्णस्य*
*पूर्णमादाय* *पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते* *॥*
*ॐ* *शान्तिः* *शान्तिः* *शान्तिः* *॥*

*from planets and stars to the atom*, are inseparably united. In terms
of science, Shiva can be called matter and Shakti energy. Not only are
Shiva and Shakti inseparably united are basically the same as confirmed by
atomic science according to which matter becomes energy.
E/C2=M. { Einstein could not tally the matter of the earth in many places
where the movements were inaccessaable}.
Thus ‗without being united with you, can Shiva even stir! The first
vibration by which the Parabrahman becomes aware of Itself is caused by
Amba. Thereafter it is vibration after vibration in ‗aarohana and
avarohana‘ manner being Praana the Life Energy! There is the authority of
Upanishads to show that the dualistic cosmos is caused by the *‗spandana‘*
or the inner vibration of the non dualistic Brahman.
*Kathopanishad
says:* all this universe is caused by the life force called praana and
vibrates. For ‗vibrates‘ the word used is ‗ejati‘; Ejanam means ‗kampana‘
or vibration. Kampana or praana that causes vibration is not merely breath
but Brahman itself! The Stanza starts with the Shakta system: Amba is far
superior to Trimurtis viz. Brahma- Vishnu- Rudra. Shiva is indeed the
Parabrahmam without any attributes and is still in His non dualistic state.
And he can stir and make Trimurtis perform their dualistic cosmic functions
only if She the Maha Shakti activates the sthaanu swarupa of His.Amba
activated Shiva, the quiescent Reality, that does not stir otherwise. Jagad
Guru Adi Shankaraacharya addresses Amba stating: You have the power to
accomplish any thing and to activate even Shiva; it is the power of yours
that has inspired my tongue, my speech, to sing your praises: he states:
*Pranantum stotum vaa katham akrita-punyah prabhavati/*
Amba! I prostrate to you and extol you with ‗trikarana shuddhi‘ or ‗mano
vaak kaaya karmana‘ / by way of the purity of mind-speech-and body. In
other words self surrender to Amba. Indeed this kind of obeisance to Amba
would be possible only when one‘s erstwhile bhakti- jnaana of previous
several lives.When the very first stanza states : ‗*Shiva Shaaktaiya
yukto’:* Shiva is for auspiciousness yet would not be able to stir even a
second without Shakti- hence ‗Shaaktaika yukto‘ as the divine pair. Dharma
Shastras proclaim that wife must be loyal to her husband: ‗ If a woman is
married to a stone, then she must respect that stone as her husband. Thus
Shiva first and foremost and then Shakti; yet Vedas proclaim:
*Maatru Devobhava- Pitru Devo bhava/ *
Thus Shakti is joined to Shiva. Yet, Shiva becomes capable of performing
his cosmic function only when He is united with Shakti, otherwise He would
even stir a bit; *‗spanditumapi‘/ ‗na*
*khalu‘* is it not so!
Pandita Lakshmi dhara‘ s opening prayer: *Japaa kusumasankaashou mada
ghurnita lochanou, jagatah pitarou vande Bhiravee Bhouravaatmakou/Shiva
Shatim namaskrutya pranipatya Ganeshvaram,*
*kritedhbhute/ *Rahashasyaardha: Bhagavati or Maha Maya is a true
reflection of Parameshwara.
Parama Shiva the Sthaanu Svarupa and Bhagavati the Symbol of Energy
are together of ‗Navayonyaatmkas‘ or of Nine Yonis or nine groups of very
basic and crucial Creative Energies as generated mutually. ‗Mantra
Shastra‘ reveals this rahasyartha and represented in *SHRI CHAKRA*. Parama
Shiva shabda represents Nava Yonaatmika Shri Chakra; yet Shakti shabda is
Panchonyaatmika while Shivayogaatmika *per se *is of chaturthaatmika. Thus
the totality of Shri Chakra which is responsible for
Srishti-Sthiti-Samhaara *PLUS.*

Shri Vidya Rasyaardha: content and explanation:
‗ Vishwanaayaka, Shaktimaya! In case you are energy less, how indeed the
creation of the Universe could be ever possible! Indeed it is your inherent
Shakti alone which is known as the Parampara-Maha Maya-
Kaamakuta-Siddhida-Purnakaama-Kaama swarupa-Hari Hara Virincha varadaa-
Sarva Deva vrindairabhivandya-Utpatti-Sthiti-Samhaara kaarika- Paraa Maha
Shakti! Thus the samyoga or merger of
‗ha kaara‘ and ‗sa kaara‘ emerges and leads to ‗ka‘ and bhubeeja ‗la‘
denoting Shiva - Shakti Samyoga representing Kaamakoota Kleem.
*Kushalah spaditumapi / *or Ku for ‗Sukshmaparaa vaasah Kailaashah‘; Sha
-Sa-Surya; Lah - or Bhu /Sukshmapara Kailashavaasi Maha Maya Shakti which
alone prompts ‗Srishtikrama‘. It is that interaction
of the Sthaanu Shiva-along with HIS own Paarshva Shakti that leads to the
creation of Pancha dashi /
Maha Vidyas of Shivo-ha and Shakti- sa. Maha Vidyas comprise the following
:[a) Viveka Panchaka:
Vidya Tatwa, Maha Bhuta, Panchakosha, Dvaita, Maha Vaakya Vivekas; b) Deepa
Panchaka: Chitra Deepa, Tripti Deepa, Kutastha Deepa, Dhyana Deepa, Naataka
Deepa; c) Ananda Panchaka: Yogaananda,
Atmaananda, Advaitaananda, Vidyaananda and Vishayaananda.]
‗Ha‘ is Shivaatmaka, ‗Sa‘ is Shaktyatmika, ‗Ka‘is Devaatmaka, ‗Ha‘ is
Akaasha Beeja, ‗La‘ is Prithvyatmika or HASAKAHALA Mantra had emerged. Maha
Maya as being worshipped by Hari Hara Virinchis is HREEM once added then
the totality is HASAKAHALA HREEM; Hreem represents Shaktitraya viz. of
Icchaa- Jnaana- Kriya Swarupas!
*Kashmiri Shaivism explains* the same concept about Universal Creation by
Parama Shiva and Maha Maya as follows: The Unknown Almighty manifested the
‗Anda Chatushtaya‘ or the Four- folded ‗Brahmanda‘ viz. Shakti, Maya,
Prakriti and Prithvi - or the Supreme Energy, the Ignorance/ Make Belief,
the Nature and Earth. The entire Universe, replete with that Almighty is
all-resplendent in Abstract Form,
yet in Entirety. He is on top of the Parama Tatwas; the Shuddha Tatwas or
the Pure Elements viz. Paramatma and Maha Shakti and the Parama Tatwas
representing the ‗Swa swarupas‘ or the Forms of Individual Selves as the
Unique Integrated Maha Tatwa. The Swa-Swarupas are representative broadly
of Chid-Ananda-Ichaa-Jnaana-Kriya the Pancha Maha Shaktis. The Collective
Form is named ‗Atyanta Chamatkaara Swaswarupa‘ or the extremely astonishing
Reflection of the Avyakta- Shaaswata- Vishnu Ananta-Aja-Avyaya or the
Unknown-Eversasting-All Pervading-Self Manifested and Unending Supreme and
there beyond the Maha Tatwa. Now, theTatwas in depth: Niyati Tatwa relates
to where a Purusha resides specifically. Kaala Tatwa specifies the age,
maturity of mind and characteristics , sex, and environment and such. Raaga
Tatwa of the Purusha concerned, attachment accessories, aspirations and
desires. The Purusha seeks fulfillment of this type of material wants.
Vidya Tatwa is essentially knowledge based. Indeed knowledge is
limitless and as much one acquires, so much more remains. Maha
Maya obstructing the clear vision of Pure Consciousness due to ‗Shad
Kanchukas‘ or Six Layers / Coverings and ‗Malaas‘ or defilements of
‗Aaanava‘, ‗Maayiya‘ and ‗Karma‘ nature, being the inner most, the interior
and the outer parts of the husk that cover in three layers before obtaining
the pure grain orAantaratma the Inner Self with neither desirable nor the
totally free from the stains of the pristine Self!
Pancha Bhutas, Panchendriyas and Tri-Tatwas viz. Manas, Buddhi and Ahamkara
total up to Prakriti. Prakriti is the totality of the 23 products, {DNAs}
each produced from the cause and effect cycle and together Prakriti and
Purusha activise the entite universe compose of 36 tatwas! From Prakriti
upto Earth, creation encases ‗Chaitanyam‘ or the Pure Consciousness by
‗dehabhava‘ or mortal feature as concealed, just as chaff covering the food
grain. This Chaitanyam is covered by Maya aided by indriyas or the sense
organs or ‗kalaas‘ to specific gross physical elements. Thus the process of
Creation is composed by seven steps beginning from
Paramatma-Shakti-Sadashiva - Maha Vishnu-Shudda Vidya or the Pure
Knowledge- Maya or the Make Believe and Kaala the Creativity of the Time
Schedule ranging from ‗kshanas‘ to ‗kalpas‘. Vigjnaana is a flow of Self
Awareness and is conceptual only. Hinduism strongly believes that Supreme
Consciousness is possible by ‗sambhavopaaya‘ or ‗icchopaaya‘ or as
coincidental or as being desirable. It may be like the myth of a rope as a
snake. But surely Maha Maya has no role in this illusion.
Finally one concludes that the Self Consiousness and Supreme
Consciousness are true mirror images since the former has no role in the
pluses and minuses of the mortal bodies as per their panchendriyas,
mind, buddhi sustained by vital force, the ‗ praana‘ and the Individual
Concsiousness is a mute spectator only and surely the photo image of
Paramatma!
[Kurma Maha Purana in its Ishwara Gita delineates the Atma Swarupa, Shiva
Bhakti, Shiva Tatwa, Shiva Vibhutis / faculties and concepts of Pashu-
Paasha-Pashupati: *Delineation of Atma Tatwa Swarupa (Guhya Jnaana) *Suta
Maha Muni quoted Veda Vyasa to the Rishis at Naimisha Forest that
‗Brahmavaadis‘or those who cogitated about ‗Brahma Gyana‘or the Knowledge
of Brahma like Sanat Kumara,Sanaka, Sanandana, Angira, Bhrigu, Kanaada,
Kapila, Vaama Deva, Shukra and Vasishtha prayed to Narayana Maharshi at
Badarikaashrama and the latter appeared along with Nara Maharshi. The
Brahmavaadis requested Narayana Maharshi to answer certain queries which
had not been replied satisfactorily in their comprehension such as to what
was the ‗raison d‘tre‘or the cause of Creation; which was the Shakti that
scripted, sustained and decimated it; what precisely that Atma or Soul
meant and what indeed was the ‗Paramartha‘ or the Final Goal all about!
On hearing this, Maharshi Narayana discarded the Form of a Tapaswi
and assumed the distinct Swarupa of Vishnu with Four Hands and
Ornamentation of Shankha-Chakra-Gadaa-Saaranga besides Srivatsa accompanied
by Devi Lakshmi. Simultaneously, Maha Deva too appeared at the behest of
Vishnu as both of them were seated comfortably and when Vaasudeva posed the
same questions that the Maharshis gave, Maheswara provided replies while
cautioning confidentialty of the explanations:
* Atmaa yah Kevalah Swasthaha Shaantah Sukshmah Sanaatanah,Asti
Sarvaantaraha Saakshaa- cchinmaatrastamasah Parah/*
*Sontaryaami sa Purushaha sa Praanah sa Maheswaraha, Sa
Kaalogni-stadavyaktam sa Ye Vedamiti Shrutih/ Asmaad Vijaayatey
Vishwamaschaiva pravileeyatey, Sa maayi Maayaya baddhah karoti*
*Vividhaastanuh/ *(Vedas affirmed that ‗Atma‘or The Soul which was Unique
or Singular, Vigorous, Wholesome, Tranquil, Tiny, Ancient, Intrinsic and
beyond Tamo Guna was the Purusha, the Praana or Life and Maheshwara himself
as also Agni, Kaala and the Unknown! This Samasara or the Universe was
created by Parameshwara who also absorbed it into him; the Maha Maya which
surrounded lesser layers of Maya created various Beings; indeed, the Pure
Atma was not subject to changes nor features; it neither allowed
transformation nor was prone to motivation).
*Na chaapyam samsarati na cha Samsaarayet Prabhuh,Naayam Prithi na Salilam

*Nabhah/ Na Praano na Mano –Vyaktam Na shabdah sparsha yevacha,Na Rupa

Dwijottamaah,Na Kartaacha*
*na Bhoktaa vaa nacha Prakritin Purushou,Na Maayaa naiva cha
Praanashchaitanyam Parama - arthathah/ *
* (The* Supreme Atma was neither Earth, nor Water, Tejas / Radiance, Wind
nor Sky. It was neither Life, nor Mind, nor the Unknown, nor Shabda
/Sound-Rasa/ Taste-Gandha /Smell; it was not the feeling of the Self nor of
the Voice. One coud not identify the Soul as hands, feet, nor the
Marmaavayaas; neither the Kartaa the Performer nor Bhokta- the one who
experienced the performance; The Atma was not Prakriti and Purusha; not the
Maya /Illusion and Life; in fact the Universe and Paramatma are clearly
separated entities!)
*Yathaa Prakaasha tamasoh sambandho nopapadyatey, Tadvaikyam na sambanthah

*/*( Just as darkness and light were clearly distinctive, Samsara and
Paramatma had no relevance of each other. Purusha and Prapancha too were
quite different like sunshine and shadow. If Atma were unclean, diseased
and full of malices by nature, then it could never have been purified even
after thousands of lives and Yogis or Sages could never have visioned a
spotless, blissful, indestructible and eternal Soul otherwise!) Paramatma
therefore emphasised thus:
Aham Kartaa Sukhi Duhkhi Krushah Sthuleti yaa matih, Saa chaahankaara
kartutwaa daatma - atmanyaa ropyatey janaih/ Vadanti Veda Vidwaamsaha
saakshinaam Prakruteyh Param,Bhoktaara - maksharam Shuddham Sarvatra

Ajnaanaadyanyathaa Jnaanam taccha Prakriti sangatam/
( Human Beings tend to attribute their feelings as per their own mind-set
and Ahamkaara/self- pride as though they were the Kartas or the responsible
persons for their happiness, unhappiness, thinness or stoutness and so on;
accordingly they reflect their emotions and sentiments to their inner
consciousness and Atma (Soul). But those who were enlightened and learned
with the knowledge of Vedas and Scriptures would indeed realise that there
was a force beyond them and their nature and that indeed was the Eternal
and All-Pervasive Para Tatwa; ignorance of that Reality which was far
different from the illusion was the High Divider.)
*Nityoditah Swayam Jyotih Sarvagah Purushah Parah, Ahamkaaravivekena

(Due to one‘s own ego and ignorance, human beings tended to confuse
themselves as Parama Purusha -the Self-Illuminated one- and declared that
whatever was achieved or not was due to their own effort or lack of it.
Brahmavaadi Rishis would clearly distinguish the Supreme, the Prakriti, and
the Cause as also the Truth and Fallacy and thus seek ‗Saakshaatkaara‘or
Ready Realisation. The dormant, invisible and unfelt Truth would indeed
co-exist with the illusions of life vis-à-vis the Eternal which got
camouflaged! In the ‗Anaatma‘ Tatwa or of the Non-Soul, even Atma Vijnana
too woud get polluted due to ‗bhranti‘ or illusions as likings and
dislikings were produced leading to Depravities or Moralities. This was the
reason why Paapa-Punyaas got generated and different kinds of human beings
came into existence.)

*Vimalaastathaivaatmaa Prakaashatey/ Jnaana swarupameyvaahur jagatetad

( That was also the reason why the Unique Partamatma was displayed in
variegated types of Beings due to Maya Shakti or the Power of Illusion.
Munis therefore believed firmly that Atma by itself was ‗Advaita‘ or
Singular but due to interaction with Maya looked as several entities, just
as hot sunshine would pollute the Sky and hence the Purity of Atma was
affected) .

(When Yogis could view all the Beings as existed in their own selves, that
would become the achievement of Brahma Bhava. When Yogis reached a Samadhi
Position or an Elevated Status of Enlightenment perceiving that all Beings
in the World were just the same then they would have reached Atma Darshana
or the Vision of the Soul and Brahma Bhava or the feeling of Oneness. Yogis
woud then have no further desires and reach a stage of Fulfillment; then
they
feel equality of all Beings and sincerely reach a sensation of Oneness or
Brahma Prapti. When Yogis vision ‗Paramaartha‘ and the Uniqueness of the
Supreme then Maya or Illusion would have been destroyed and the entire
Universe would look as a Single Entity.)
*Yadaa Janma jaraa duhkha vyaadheenaa meka bheshajam,kevalam Brahma

*nadaa lokey Saarenaikataam yayuh, Tadaatmaakharenaasou nishkalenai -kataam

( When Yogis realise that birth, old-age, misery and disease would happen
due to ‗Karma‘ or previous actions and of the awareness of that Brahma
Gyan, then Shiva Rupa would have been realised. Just as Rivers and Rivulets
would reach the Ocean finally, the individual ‗Jeevatmaas‘ would get
submerged into Paramatma.)
*Tasmad Vigjnanamevaasti na Prapancho na Samsrutih,Agjnaanenaavrutam Loko*

(Hence, Vigjnaanaa was ever-existent and not Samsara; Vigjnaana /
Knowledge was surrounded by Agjnaana/ignorance. In other words, what ever
was Nirmala, Sukshma and Avyaya was Jnaana and the rest was worthy of
discarding. Sankhya Yoga was that Jnaana only and was the Essence of Vedas.
That was what worth concentrating about.)

feet. I am fully aware of the ins-and-outs of the Prapancha but none knows
about me. Some call me Adviteeya and some ‗hetuvaadaas‘ claim that they are
aware of the Cause of their existence, but for sure even Devas are not
aware of my Reality as they are all steeply immersed in Maya.
Now, listen to me carefully: Even being fully independent of and
distinct from Maya, I provoke *Maya *to create situations due to reasons
of such situations and accordingly Maya generates the specific situations.
My all-pervasive ‗deha‘or Physique [which certainly not the outcome of
Pancha Buthas or Gunas or Tatwas which were my branded products] is perhaps
partly visioned by Tatva darshis and Maha Yogis and some selected few are

not have ‗Punarjanma‘ for even crores of Kalpas; indeed that would be my
Directive and Discretion. The Atma Tatwa or ‗the Saankhya Yoga Samanvita

madaaraadhana kaaranaat,Yo mey dadaati niyatah sa meyBhaktah Priyomatah/
(My Bhaktaas would never be destroyed nor harmed but would be washed off
their sins as I took a vow that my Bhaktas are protected. Bhaktas are
merely required to perform my Puja with utmost sincerity and offer leaves,
flowers, fruits and even water as I would be pleased).
*This verse which rendered so much so for is split into the meaning:*
*Shiva Shakti: *Aham hi Jagataa maadou Brahmanaam Parameshthinam,Vidhaaya
dattavaan
Vedaanasehaanaatmanih srutaan/ Ahamevahi Sarveshaam yoginaam
Gururavyayah,Dhaarmika –naam
cha goptaahey nihantaa Vedavidwishaam/ Aham vai Sarva samsaaraan mochako
yoginaamiha,
Samsaara hetureyvaaham sarva Samsaara Varjitah/
( I had in the beginning created Brahma and gave him Vedas as the
Guidelines; I am also the Yoga Guru and provided protection to the Virtuous
Persons and punished those who negated the values enunciated in Vedas; and
I am the liberator of Yogis, the Cause of Samsara and yet also displeased
with Samsaara.)
*Ahamevahi Samhartaa Srashtaaham Paripaalakah, Maayaavi Maamikaa
Shaktirmayaa Loka Vimohini/ Mamaiva cha Paraa Shaktiryaa saa Vidyoti
geeyatey,Naashayaami tayaa Maayaam yoginaam hridi samsthitah/ Aham hi Sarva
Shaktinaam Pravartak nivartakah,Adhaara bhutah sarvaasaam
nidhaanamamrutasya cha/ Ekaa sarvaantaraa Shaikih karoti vividham
Jagat,Aasthaaya Brahmano rupam manmayee madadhishtitaa/ Anyaa cha
Shaktirvipulaa Samsthaapayati mey Jagat,Bhutwaa Naaraayanonanto Jagannaadho
Jaganmayah/ Triteeyaa Mahati Shaktirnihanti sakalam Jagat,Taamasi mey
samaakhyaataa Kaalaakhyaa Rudra Rupini/*
( I am the ‗Maayavi‘or the Great Magician and my Shakti is Maya who is the
Top Temptress of the World. Parashakti is my product and is known as Vidya;
I stay in the hearts of Yogis and counter the Maya ; All types of Shakti
emerge from me and also submerge into me!)
Shiva stated further: I am the ‗Adhaara‘or the Huge Hold of the Prime
Shakti; One facet of that Shakti is Brahma the Srashta; my secondary
Shakti is identified as Jagannadha Narayana.; the Third Ramification is
Taamasi Shakti viz. Rudra-Kaala Shakti, which terminates the Creation).
Dhyanena maam prapashyanti kechirjjnanena chaaparey,Aparey bhakti yogena
chaaparey/ Sarveshaameva bhaktaamaamishtah Priyataro mama,Yohi jnaanena
maam nitya maadhaaraahyayati nyaayathaa/ Anye chaye trayo Bhaktaa
madaaraadhana kaankshinah,Teypi maam praapunanteva naavartantey cha vai
punah*/*
(Some persons seek my Darshan through Dhyaana or meditation, some by
Jnaana, but those by Bhakti are most dear to me and they would have no
re-birth).

(My Purusha Swarupa is spread all over and the Samasara in totality is
prompted by it. Yet I am always engrossed in Yoga and as such am not the
Prompter either; indeed this is the key secret and those who realise this
know every thing. As far as I am concerned, I do note the evolutions of the
lives of the Beings and keep analysing the changes no doubt; but whatever
actions need to be taken are performed Bhagavan Kaala himself. Vidwans of
Shastras use the nomenclature of Maya and attribute it to the Maha
Yogeshwara himself; Paramatma is far above and distinct Tatwas yet at the
same time significance of Tatwas is hidden in Bhagavan! Those Maha
Yogeshwaras visualise that Bhagavan is perhaps in Nirvikalpa Samaadhi and
even the prompting of actions are not done my him! This indeed appears to
be the *Guhya Jnaana *unsolved and appears to have been hidden still in the
unknown depths of Vedas! Perhaps the solution is left in the tranquil
imagination of Dharmic and Ever engaged Agnihotris!]

Shankara hence is praised as avataram.
