The Dakshinamurthy Stotram, composed by Adi Shankaracharya, is a profound Sanskrit hymn that celebrates Lord Dakshinamurthy—the embodiment of supreme knowledge, inner silence, and the eternal teacher of the universe. Seated beneath the sacred banyan tree, this divine form of Shiva imparts the highest wisdom not through words, but through deep, transformative silence. The stotram beautifully reveals the truth of non-duality (Advaita), guiding seekers beyond illusion (Maya) to realize the Self as one with Brahman. Each verse serves as a meditation on consciousness, urging us to awaken to the light within and transcend the cycle of ignorance and rebirth.
