Oct 24, 2019 Sri Adi Shankaracharya – Image courtesy: Sringeri.net. Meaning of Sri Dhakshinamoorthy Stotram: I praise and salute that Dakshinamurthy, Who faces the south, Who explains the true nature of the supreme Brahman, Through his state of silence, Who is young in looks, Who is surrounded by disciples who are old sages, Whose minds are fixed on Brahman.
In the Hindu mythology, Dakshinamurti is an incarnation of Shiva, the supreme god of knowledge. Dakshinamurti is an aspect of Shiva as a guru of all types of knowledge, and bestower of jnana. This aspect of Shiva is his personification as the supreme or the ultimate awareness, understanding and knowledge.[1] This form represents Shiva in his aspect as a teacher of yoga, music, and wisdom, and giving exposition on the shastras.
Dakshinamurthy Stotram by Adi Shankaracharya is a laudatory hymn for this form of Siva. May 23, 2020 Dakshinamurthy Stotram composed by Adi Shankaracharya in Arunachala. English Transliteration: Mouna Vyakhya prakatitha, para, Brahma thathwam yuvanam, Varshi.
Unlike most of the stotras of Hindu gods, which are in the form of description of anthropomorphic forms, or mythological deeds of those gods, Dakshinamurti Stotra takesform of conceptual and philosophical statements. Repeated chanting and/or meditating on the meaning of these verses is expected to help a spiritual practitioner of Advaita vedanta get thoroughly established in an Advaitic experience.
The Dakshinamurti Stotra is arguably the most important small verse to be attributed to Adi Shankara.[citation needed] In a compilation of ten stanzas there is a concise and vivid description of the philosophical significance of the form of Siva, giving the very essence of the Indian idea of epistemology. It differs from every other attempt in a very basic sense, in that it is holistic rather than purely reductionist.
