Says Agni Shreedhar, “I am extremely angry that they made young schoolchildren and teenagers recite the Soundarya Lahari. If Shankaracharya was celibate, how could he go into such detailed and extraordinary descriptions of the female body? From her brows, forehead to toes every part of the female body is described in the most beautiful manner. Soundarya Lahari has exquisite description of the female body. Shankaracharya was a Akhanda Brahmachari – a dedicated celibate. But there is a theory that a sage called Pushpadantha wrote it. Shankaracharya’s disciples say he wrote it. The dispute about the author of Soundarya Lahari is centuries old. It could be positive or negative but such is the power of mantras.” I have met Avadhothas who have taken just one mantra from Soundarya Lahari and worshiped it for years and attained enormous energy. By undeterred concentration and worship, one can attain great spirits. They visualise the abstract mantra in the form of a concrete Yantra and worship it. Soundarya Lahari is a special text of the Tantriks who have a distinct Yantra for each mantra. They build your mental stability, concentration and will power. The 100 verses are not mere Shlokas but mantras. Soundarya Lahari is a Tantra text, not to be chanted by children.Īgni Sreedhar, journalist and a Tantra scholar, says “Soundarya Lahari is a high voltage text of Tantra. There were schoolchildren and young teenagers in the mass chanting. He also read out some Shlokas of Soundarya Lahari and said he felt a special energy in the environment from the mass chanting. For instance, a Dashamah Soudarya Lahari Parayanotsava Mahasamarpane mass chanting was organised last week in Bengaluru and Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended it.
In the overzealous desire for teaching traditional texts to children, the Sanatanis are making big mistakes and there is nobody to point out that.
