Origin & Story

Soundarya Lahari, Verse 27 · Adi Shankaracharya · c. 8th century CE

From the Ananda Lahari, this verse is celebrated as the high point of self-surrender within the hymn, echoing the spirit of the well-known atma-nivedana prayers. Composed in the Shikharini metre, it is often recited on its own as a complete teaching on offering one's whole life as worship of the Goddess.

✦ As told in scripture

Devotees say that one who lives by this verse, offering every act to the Mother, finds the burden of ritual lifted and the whole of life sanctified, for the Goddess accepts the smallest deed done in the spirit of surrender as Her full worship.
