Sri Dakshinamurthy Stotram Lyrics by Adi Shankaracharya Marathi with Meaning

Adhi Sankara has written very many great Stotras (prayers) but here is a unique prayer, which is not only a prayer but a summary of all the philosophy that he has taught. Even during his time, this stotra was difficult to comprehend and it became necessary for one of his disciples, Sureshwaracharya to write a commentary called Manasollasa to this stotra. There are a large number of books and commentaries on this commentary itself.

Shri Dakshinaamuurti stotram Meaning:

This verse is chanted before the stotram.

AUM. 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 forever.

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.

He in whom this universe, prior to its projection was present as 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.

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.

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.

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.

The brilliance of the sun exists even when intercepted by Rahu during the eclipse. Similarly, the power of cognition only remains suspended during deep sleep. The Self exists as a 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.

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 Gyaana-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.

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.

He, whose subtle and unmanifest eight-fold form causes the moving and unmoving universe, and by whose grace alone does all these manifestations disappear to reveal that `All that exists is Brahman’ – to that Dakshinamurti, who is embodied in the auspicious Guru, I offer my profound salutations.

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 eight-fold manifestation.

This verse is usually recited at the end of the recital of the above hymn.

I offer my profound salutations to Shri maha Dakshina Murty, the remover of the worldly (samsaric) bonds binding us, Who is to be meditated upon as the one sitting under a banyan tree and bestowing knowledge (Gyana)instantly on all the sages (and the devoted disciples).
