[Advaita-l] shivAnandalaharI - Audio - Sri Dr M. Balamuralikrishna

[Ramamurthy Venkateswaran]

Dear Shri Ravishankar ji,
 
Many thanks for posting the url of Kannadaaudio.com and since then on a couple of occasions I have accessed the site and enjoyed listening the Shivananda Lahiri by Dr M Balamurali Krishna.  A well rendered version.  Thanks once again to you and the Advaita for carrying your msg.
 
Regards,
 
Sincerely,

> This is an amazing rendering of Sivanandalahari by Sri Balamuralikrishna. I

> 
> This work is by bhagavan Sri Sankara and considered so by the tradition.
> bhagavaan Sri ramaNa Maharishi made a selection of 10 verses out this 100.

> I was told by one of my friends that even some vaiShNava-s study this work

> mayyeva vaasam kuru ...) in the context of animal sacrifice.

> I believe that Sri Balamuralikrishna's majestic rendering is an invaluable

> Sanskrit commentary on this work by an anonymous author - I have this with
> me. May be one day I will scan it and make it available online.
