Soundarya Lahari - Telugu | By Swami Jnanadananda

• The "Soundarya Lahari," meaning "waves of beauty," is divided into two parts: the "Ananda Lahari," meaning "waves of happiness," consisting of the first 41 stanzas, and the subsequent 59 stanzas forming the "Soundarya Lahari" itself.
•Legend holds that Lord Ganesha or Sage Pushpa Dhantha etched the Ananda Lahari on Mount Meru, later recited by Sage Gouda Pada and taught to Adhi Sankara.
• This translation into English verse by a novice seeks to make the beauty and efficacy of the Soundarya Lahari accessible to English-speaking devotees.
• A Roman script transliteration is also provided. May all who engage with this text be forever immersed in its "Wave of happiness."
