[Advaita-l] Guru Stotram Author

[Mahadevan Babu]

Pranams.

That is right.

http://www.svbf.org/sringeri/journal/vol1no3/paduka.html  is the one  
I am referring.

Though I have been reciting for so many years, I didn't know the author.

Thank you so much.

Also, Thank you Kathirasan for the information on Guru Gita.

SRI GURUBYO NAMAHA
