I had written on Bhaskararaya and His works on Devi Lalithambika and mentioned that his two books were published by Umanandanathar ,his disciple. It seems there is yet another rare book by Umanandanathar. The reason for this post is…
The Lalita Sahasranaama is a significant Hindu mantra, part of the Tantra, Yantra Shastras. It features the thousand names of the Devi Lalita, allowing practitioners to perform both Nirguna and Saguna worship, forms that delve into attributes and non-attributes of the divine reality. The mantra describes the Devi's evolution, her dwelling, and carries elements from Yoga, Yantra Shastra, and Tantra Shastra. Furthermore, it incorporates teachings of all Devi worship sects. Notably, it was authored by Sri Bhaskararaya, a revered scholar born in 1690 in Maharashtra, who also contributed more than 40 works on various Hindu doctrines and helped restore many temples.
