Review: Great description of the Shakti! - This book is must read if you are sri vidya upasaka or interested in learning about the cosmic creation. The book is very thorough and explains basic fundamentals of the sri yantra as well. There is so much knowledge to gain and this book justifies the learning about the saundarya lahari, the Shakti. The book was wrapped well to avoid any damage during the shipping, so kudos to the shipper as well. Review: the translation is wonderful because though it's easy to understand and written in ... - Seriously incredible. This symbol came to me during a deep meditation, and I had no idea what it meant... had never seen it before in waking life. I then stumbled upon this book and am blown away! I could write an entire essay on my admiration for this book and the concepts of the divine, creativity, and unity within it, but I will just make this one point here: the translation is wonderful because though it's easy to understand and written in plain English, it still maintains the depth and quality of (what I imagine) the original thoughts contain. ## Features - Brand: Quxlvie - Sri Saundarya Lahari/The Descent ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #455,964 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #111 in History of Hinduism #13,084 in Philosophy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 300 Reviews | ## Images ![Sri Saundarya Lahari/The Descent - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61BnZWGspML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great description of the Shakti! *by A***R on December 16, 2025* This book is must read if you are sri vidya upasaka or interested in learning about the cosmic creation.

This symbol came to me during a deep meditation, and I had no idea what it meant... had never seen it before in waking life. I then stumbled upon this book and am blown away! I could write an entire essay on my admiration for this book and the concepts of the divine, creativity, and unity within it, but I will just make this one point here: the translation is wonderful because though it's easy to understand and written in plain English, it still maintains the depth and quality of (what I imagine) the original thoughts contain. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Practical Tantra *by M***N on October 17, 2010* This book is a practical guide for the use of the Soundarya Lahari. It is clear, concise, and generally complete for a safe (relatively) tantric praxtice to obtain specific spiritual and worldly desires. The information on each verse, and it'sapplication sometimes is limited as I have a comparative text from Karunamayi concerning the first verse and its use to clean the MUlhadara, Manipura and Anahata chakras with a diet, etc... In Karunamayi's explanation no use is mentioned of this verse being for the obataining of prosperity or overcoming obstacles, and In this book no mention is made of the use to clean the chakras, diet, etc... Two very different explanations -both valid but I suspect and feel that this book has not given other specific uses as to limit what people will actually use it to obtain. This doesn't necessarily apply to all the verses and I'm sure Karaunamayi would not give out the more advanced uses either to the general public. I have started to use the first verse without the required gold plate - which I will pick up in two days. Howver I did do 500 repetitions of the first verse yesterday in the lotus and have been using it for about a week. The results are interesting - much light in the third eye circling around, conscousness projection through my third eye, telepathic and spirit communication including physical and energetic touch on even mudane things as waking me up with "Time to get up" and a gentle slap in the face (which I needed- had to go out). I will further update this after I use the gold plate and mandala for the required 12 days -if my knees hold out for three or four hours in the lotus. Hari Shreeyam (M.
