Shivananda Lahari

Adi Shankara with disciples, drawing by Raja Ravivarma, 1904

Shivananda Lahari (IAST Śivānanda Lahari) is a devotional hymn composed by Adi Shankara, the 8th-century Advaita philosopher, on Shiva.^[1] It literally means Wave of Auspicious Bliss. It consists of one hundred stanzas of Sanskrit poetry in various chandas (metres). It was composed by Adi Shankara while staying in Srisailam, a pilgrimage town, in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh. It begins with an ode to Mallikarjuna and Bhramarambika, the deities at Srisailam.^[2]^[3]

Shivananda Lahari was translated into Telugu language with word-to-word explanation by Balijepalli Lakshmikantham Kavi and published in 1916.^[4]
