[Advaita-l] SIDDHANTA KAUMADI

[KAMESWARARAO MULA]

Dear Sir,             I may not be correct as you said but swamiji quoted this as a reference in his book on 'lekha sangraha'. As you said he menioned Panini sutra no. 5468 in the chapter ganesha vigyana to know how ganesha was derived and rebirth arises. 
 Sudhanshuji: Definetly 'Ganesha' is an abstract concept only.

Before that he wrote a chapter on 'Re-birth' in which he mentioned various things and quoted siddhanta kaumadi has its reference. May be he might have used that to its interpretation.
However, I am keen to study 'siddhanta kaumadi' in detail, pls suggest any books for its interpretation. Kameswara

Are you sure?  The Siddhanta Kaumudi I know is on vyakarana (Sanskrit 
grammar.)  It is a rearrangement of Paninis' Sutras by Bhattoji Dikshita.
His disciple Varadaraja Bhatta abridged the S.K. into Madhyama, Laghu, and 
Sara Siddhanta Kaumudis the middle of which is the standard introduction 
to Vyakarana amongst Pandits.  I have learned it too.

Bhattoji Dikshita himself wrote a commentary called Praudha Manorama and 
Bala Manorama, Tattvabodhini etc. are also well known.  But I don't think 
you will find much adhyatmik content there.  You must be thinking of 
another book with a similar title.  Perhaps Siddhanta Bindu by Swami 
Madhusudana Saraswati which is an elaborate commentary on Shankaracharyas 
Dashashloki?
