Lalitarchana Chandrika/Sri S.K. Ramachnadra Rao

Lalitarchana Chandrika
 
Sri  S.K. Ramachnadra Rao,
Lala Murari lal Chharia  Oriental Series.
2nd Ed, 2012. Delhi,Divine Books.Rs.350-00
 

Bhaskara raya makhin (between 1690 and 1785), who is the well known commentator on the celebrated text of the worship of the Mother Goddess, Lalita Sahasranama (Saubhagya Bhaskara by  name), has also written a gloss on Tantrik Upanishad called Bhavanopanishad.  This Upanishad is an important manual for the upasakas of Sri Vidya.  It explains the esoteric significance of well known Sri Chakra, and also the spiritual mode of worship of Samaya (Kadi) school.  Bhaskara raya makhin has also written a prayogavidhi to accompany his gloss on Bhavanopanishad.  The introduction provides details of what is known as `inner sacrifice' (antaryaga), which is the characteristic approach of the Samaya school.

The important but little known gloss (prayoga-vidhi alongwith the Bhavanopanishad) has been brought out here with elaborate introduction, comments and notes in English.  Because this wisdom in hailed as chandra-jnana (knowledge of the lunar phases and full moon, represented by the Panchadasi and Shodasi mantras), this  work dealing with it is called chandrika (moonlight).  The deity adored by the Sri Vidya upasakas in Lalita (otherwise called Raja rajeswari).  Hence the book is described as Lalitacharna Chandrika.
