MAHOPA DESA VIMSATIKAM of Abhinavagupapadaachaarya

[Guest guest]

SRI MAATRE NAMAHA

JAI GURU DATTA

 

Srimad Abhinavaguptapaadachaarya was a devotee of Mahabhairava

(another form of Sadaasiva), and he was also a Saakteya ( worshipper

of Shakti). He was a great scholer. He belongs to Kashmir. He wrote

several stotras and several works about philosophy. This Mahopadesa

vimsatikam is also a beatiful work which is 'Aalochanaa ramaneeyam'.

Here is that stotra which tells about PARAA PUJA associated with

advaita.
