Adi Shankara with disciples, drawing by Raja Ravi Varma, 1904
The Shivananda Lahari (Sanskrit: शिवानन्दलहरी, romanized: Śivānandalaharī) is a devotional hymn composed by Adi Shankara, an 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]
