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
