Preface
The Adi Sankara Advaita Research Centre takes great pleasure in bringing out this book, The Voice of Sankara (Vol. II) being a compilation of select devotional/philosophical hymns composed by Sri Sankara Bhagavatpada, Though a propounder of Advaita, he propagated Sagunopasana and emphasised the path of bhakti or upasana and established the Shanmatas.
As Sri Sankara Bhagavatpada himself says, "Bhakti is the highest and easiest means to attain liberation". The poetical hymns composed by Sri Sankara in praise of deities of the Hindu pantheon in a language which is profoundly sublime and yet transparently simple are steeped with ecstatic devotion and are soul-stirring. The recitation of the mellifluous slokas is sure to fill the earnest devotee with devotional fervour, bestow mental peace and elevate him to sublime beatitude.
We at the Centre, pay our reverential obeisance to Pujyasri Jagadguru Jayendra Saraswati Swamigal and Pujyasri Jagadguru Sankara Vijayendra Saraswati Swamigal of Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Pee tam at whose behest the present book has been published. We offer this book at the sacred lotus feet of Pujyasri Acharyas.
The present volume comprises twenty three hymns which had been previously published in the issues of our half-yearly Journal, "The Voice of Sankara". We owe a debt of gratitude to the various eminent scholars who had helped in translating into lucid English the different hymns.
We are grateful to the distinguished scholar, Prof. N. Veezhinathan for his Introduction, delving deep into Advaita and Bhakti.
We must also thank Dr. V.K.S.N. Raghavan, Professor and Head, Department of Vaishnavism, University of Madras for the meticulous and painstaking efforts put forth in the arduous task of reading the proofs and also transliterating some of
