Dakshinamurti Stotra ..}## \itxtitle{.. dakShiNAmUrtistotraM athavA dakShiNAmUrtyaShTakam ..}##\endtitles ## ## Introduction Offered on this holy day of guru pUrnima, this poem is transliterated and translated as a humble dedication to my various spiritual teachers including my Guru, Yogiraj Vethathiri, and paramaguru, Adi Shankaracharya, and the Guru of all, ShrI DakShinAmUrti. They took pity on this unworthy disciple enslaved, enticed and ensnared by Maya and taught me to respect reason, aspire for Truth, discriminate between the real and the unreal and remain dedicated, disciplined and devoted to Shakti, residing with us all . Just as a beggar, for his own satisfaction, offers copper coins to a king, I, while remaining indebted, humbly offer this compilation at their Lotus feet as a small token. shrIdakShiNAmUrtI stotraM was written by Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya Please refer to the biography of Shankara and His other compositions of vedic literature. shrIdakShiNAmUrti stotraM is one of the minor compositions of the spiritual giant and exquisite philosopher, Adi Shankaracharya . The popularity of this hymn is not just due to the poetic masterpiece but also because it encompasses the fundamental teachings of Vedanta succinctly and briefly. DakShninamurti (Shiva) manifests in three different forms as God, Preceptor and the Self (Atman). The all-pervasiveness of the Atman is clearly expounded in the tenth verse of the hymn. The practice of vedanta is to get rid of avidya (ignorance) by exercising the will over attachment to the unreal, and by overcoming fear and anxiety by finding the bliss in the eternal . The sAdhaka (aspirant) is often aided by a teacher who is self-realized, and the aspirant follows the teachings of this Guru, whom he/she considers to be an embodiment of God . The embodiment of DakShinamurti in the Guru, by whose grace and grace alone, the illumination becomes apparent is saluted in the fourth line of each sloka in the hymn . The final understanding that there is no duality between Guru and God is the essence of religious life, according to Advaita Vedanta [please refer to shvetasvatara upaniShad, 6-23]. More on the knowledge of Atman can be found in brihadaranyaka upaniShad 4-4-12-21- The stotraM aids in the comprehension of the fact that Jiva, Ishvara and Brahman are all the same on the plane of Reality . The recital of this hymn, accompanied with contemplation of the meaning, is said to enable one to reach the plentitude of realization and become one with the Brahman. (Actually, it is the realization that you are already and always Brahman.) An excellent commentary on the dakShinamurti stotra was written by His immediate disciple, Sureshvara, and it is called mAnasollAsa. Another beautiful commentary on the work is tattvasudhA by svayamprakAshayatinindra . Both of the works, along with a lucid commentary of the dakShinamurti stotra, has been published by the Sringeri Math . The book is called 'SridakShinamurtistotram' and translated by Dr. D.S . Subbramaiya. The book has two volumes and over 1200 pages. The fact that one requires over 1200 pages to explain the sridakShinamurti stotra provides an idea of the depth required to understand the stotra. May Shri Daksinamurti embodied in the acharya(s) lead us from ignorance to Truth.

OM . I surrender to THAT, who projected brahma at the beginning of the creation and revealed vedas . The inspiration turns my intellect towards Atman . May peace be on us for ever. ## vishvaM darpaNadR^ishyamAnanagarItulyaM nijAntargataM pashyannAtmani mAyayA bahirivod.hbhUtaM yathA nidrayA | yaH sAkShAtkurute prabodhasamaye svAtmAnamevAdvayaM tasmai shrIgurumUrtaye nama idaM shrIdakShiNAmUrtaye || 1|| ## The universe is the reflection of a mirror . The Truth is the supreme Brahman, the one without a second . The mind, senses and intellect are all able to only discern the reflection of the Atman . The identity of the brahman and the Atman is apparent after self-illumination. I offer my profound salutations to the auspicious Guru, who is an embodiment of DakShinamurti, and whose grace is responsible for the illumination. ## bIjasyAntarivA~Nkuro jagadidaM prA~NnirvikalpaM punaH mAyAkalpitadeshakAlakalanAvaichitryachitrIkR^itam | mAyAvIva vijR^imbhayatyapi mahAyogIva yaH svechChayA tasmai shrIgurumUrtaye nama idaM shrIdakShiNAmUrtaye || 2|| ## He in whom this universe, prior to its projection was present like a tree in a seed(unmanifested), and by whose magic this was transformed(manifested) in various forms, by His own will similar to a yogi's- to that DakShinamurti, who is embodied in the auspicious Guru, I offer my profound salutations. ## yasyaiva sphuraNaM sadAtmakamasatkalpArthakaM bhAsate sAkShAttattvamasIti vedavachasA yo bodhayatyAshritAn | yatsAkShAtkaraNAdbhavenna punarAvR^ittirbhavAmbhonidhau tasmai shrIgurumUrtaye nama idaM shrIdakShiNAmUrtaye || 3|| ## He, by whose light the (unreal) universe appears real, teaches the truth of brahman to those who want to know the Atman through the vedic statement tattvamasi (thou art That) and He Who puts an end to the samsaric cycle - to that DakShinamurti, who is embodied in the auspicious Guru, I offer my profound salutations. ## nAnAchChidraghaTodarasthitamahAdIpaprabhAbhAsvaraM j~nAnaM yasya tu chakShurAdikaraNadvArA bahiH spandate | jAnAmIti tameva bhAntamanubhAtyetatsamastaM jagat tasmai shrIgurumUrtaye nama idaM shrIdakShiNAmUrtaye || 4|| ## He whose light gleams through the senses like the light emanating from a pot with holes (in which a lamp is kept), He whose knowledge alone brings the state of knowing (I am That), He whose brightness makes everything shine - to that DakShinamurti, who is embodied in the auspicious Guru, I offer my profound salutations. ## dehaM prANamapIndriyANyapi chalAM buddhiM cha shUnyaM viduH strIbAlAndhajaDopamAstvahamiti bhrAntA bhR^ishaM vAdinaH | mAyAshaktivilAsakalpitamahA vyAmohasa.nhAriNe tasmai shrIgurumUrtaye nama idaM shrIdakShiNAmUrtaye || 5|| ## Some philosophers contend the body, senses, life-breath, intellect and non-existence (shunya) as the real `I' (Atman). Their comprehension is worse than that of women, children, blind and the dull. He who destroys this delusion caused by maya (and makes us aware of the Truth)- to that DakShinamurti, who is embodied in the auspicious Guru, I offer my profound salutations. ## rAhugrastadivAkarendusadR^isho mAyAsamAchChAdanAt sanmAtraH karaNopasa.nharaNato yo.abhUtsuShuptaH pumAn | prAgasvApsamiti prabodhasamaye yaH pratyabhij~nAyate tasmai shrIgurumUrtaye nama idaM shrIdakShiNAmUrtaye || 6|| ## The brillance of sun exists even when intercepted by Rahu during eclipse. Similarly, the power of cognition only remains suspended during deep sleep. The Self exists as pure being even though unrecognized due to the veil of Maya. A person on awakening becomes aware that he was asleep earlier (and the dream was unreal). Similarly, a person who awakens to the consciousness of the Self recognizes his previous state of ignorance as unreal. He by whose grace alone does one awaken to the consciousness of the Self - to that DakShinamurti, who is embodied in the auspicious Guru, I offer my profound salutations. ## bAlyAdiShvapi jAgradAdiShu tathA sarvAsvavasthAsvapi vyAvR^ittAsvanuvartamAnamahamityantaH sphurantaM sadA | svAtmAnaM prakaTIkaroti bhajatAM yo mudrayA bhadrayA tasmai shrIgurumUrtaye nama idaM shrIdakShiNAmUrtaye || 7|| ## He, whose existence is changeless throughout the various states of the body (like old, young etc) and the mind (waking, dreaming etc), and who reveals the greatest knowledge of Atman by j~nAna-mudra (the joining of the thumb and the forefinger of a raised right hand) - to that DakShinamurti, who is embodied in the auspicious Guru, I offer my profound salutations. ## vishvaM pashyati kAryakAraNatayA svasvAmisaMbandhataH shiShyAchAryatayA tathaiva pitR^iputrAdyAtmanA bhedataH | svapne jAgrati vA ya eSha puruSho mAyAparibhrAmitaH tasmai shrIgurumUrtaye nama idaM shrIdakShiNAmUrtaye || 8|| ## He, whose power of Maya enables one to experience the world as multiform (like teacher, disciple, father, son etc) during both the waking and dream states - to that DakShinamurti, who is embodied in the auspicious Guru, I offer my profound salutations. ## bhUrambhA.nsyanalo.anilo.ambaramaharnAtho himA.nshuH pumAn ityAbhAti charAcharAtmakamidaM yasyaiva mUrtyaShTakam | nAnyatki~nchana vidyate vimR^ishatAM yasmAtparasmAdvibhoH tasmai shrIgurumUrtaye nama idaM shrIdakShiNAmUrtaye || 9|| ## He, whose subtle and unmanifest eightfold form causes the moving and unmoving universe, and by whose grace alone does all these manifestation disappear to reveal that `All that exists is Brahman' - to that DakShinamurti, who is embodied in the auspicious Guru, I offer my profound salutations. ## sarvAtmatvamiti sphuTIkR^itamidaM yasmAdamuShmin stave tenAsya shravaNAttadarthamananAd.h{}dhyAnAchcha sa~NkIrtanAt | sarvAtmatvamahAvibhUtisahitaM syAdIshvaratvaM svataH ## var ## tataH sid.h{}dhyettatpunaraShTadhA pariNataM chaishvaryamavyAhatam || 10|| ## The verse points out to the all pervasiveness of the indwelling Spirit, Atman. By the recital, contemplation and meditation of this hymn, the disciple attains the state of oneness with Atman and realizes his unity with the universe,thus becoming the very essence of the eightfold manifestation. ## vaTaviTapisamIpe bhUmibhAge niShaNNaM sakalamunijanAnAM j~nAnadAtAramArAt | tribhuvanagurumIshaM dakShiNAmUrtidevaM jananamaraNaduHkhachChedadakShaM namAmi || ## This verse is usually recited at the end of the recital of the above hymn.
