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. Rephen) Review: Excellent translation, and commentary! - This book is very well written. The Saundarya Lahari is fairly popular, but the depths of its meanings are probably understood by <1% of the population who knows of this great work. This book is a good first book to begin delving into some of the deeper meanings of the work. I do think one needs to read a good commentary on the Lalitha Sahasranama without which most of this book will be "over their head." I recommend V. Ravi's book on the Lalitha Sahasranama for this. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #57,803 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in History of Hinduism | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (290) | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 8186336702 | | ISBN-13 | 978-8186336700 | | Item Weight | 1.1 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 536 pages | | Publication date | March 2, 2009 | | Publisher | Yoga Publications Trust/Munger/India | ## Images ![Sri Saundarya Lahari/The Descent - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61BnZWGspML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Practical Tantra *by M***N on October 17, 2010* This book is a practical guide for the use of the Soundarya Lahari.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sri Saundarya Lahari/The Descent - Sri Vijnana Bhairava Tantra: The Ascent - Tattwa Shuddhi: The Tantric Practice of Inner Purification --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/10304243-sri-saundarya-lahari-the-descent](https://www.desertcart.id/products/10304243-sri-saundarya-lahari-the-descent) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
