"Dakshinamurthy Stotram - Day 02/13" Talk by Swami Aparajitananda, Chinmaya Mission, mangaluru.

Hari Om!
Bhagavān Shankarāchārya has composed the Stotram which is a silent description of Dakshinamūrti Bhagavān. Swami Aparajitananda deciphers the mystic, silent, wonder-teaching by Dakshinamūrti Bhagavān in Guru form and further elaborates on -
• Indications of the posture of Dakshinamūrti and simplifies the metaphors of snake and demon.
• The question why Bhagavān does not kill the demon "apasmara" is answered by explaining the purpose of taking avatāra / upādhi and by suggesting the remedy of "anusmara".
• Sun and moon symbolising qualities of Guru and importance of "bhaya-bhakti".
• Symbolisms: Knowledge flow and jñāna gangā (from para to apara)
• Role of Bhagiratha prayatna and Jñāna paramparā
• Shifting attention to Consciousness and what a dip in the river means.
• Third eye of Shiva and vision of oneness.
• Banyan tree as tree of transmigration.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE NAME "DAKSHINAMŪRTI" is discussed with imports of the terms "daksh", "dakshina" and "amūrti".
DHYANAM
Verse 1: Swamiji simplifies, connecting each term in detail.
• Purpose of avatāra indicated by the term Āchāryendra and the qualifications of the Guru (Consciousness) indicated by adjectives.
• Topic of Knowledge (Truth of Supreme Brahman)
• Knowledge expressed in silence by Chinmudra.
• Qualifications and mind preparations of shishya-s gained through saguna sākāra upāsana.
Verse 2: Dakshinamūrti Bhagavān as expert destroyer of sorrows of birth-death cycle.
• Result of Knowledge - Liberation.
The invocation verse by Sureshvarāchārya depicts Īshvara, Guru and Ātmā - all three in one all-pervading Dakshinamūrti Bhagavān.

Hari Om Swamiji Deep wisdom revealed by making the jnanam ready for assimilation!!! Prostration to Dakshina Murthy who is Ishwar,Guru n Atma. Being Mayapati teaches how infinite merges with Parmatma. Teaching of Dakshinamurthy is____ For the seekers whose saadhna is in advance stage. Through dip in ' jnana Ganga ' experiences 'Self is Conciousness' in BMI cage. Preparing disciples to do Tapas , crushing Ego to gain liberation. Who are sitting under, "Tree of Transmigration "with humility in full prostration. Powerful message of Vedas is decoded ,simplified n deciphered. Through,'Eye of Wisdom' Ishwar darshnam in Vishwa darshanam is inferred. There is no Death___ Facing Yamraj fearlessly removing darkness of ignorance. Teaching through 'chin mudra' , 'Para BrahmanTatvam' through voice of silence !!!! दक्षिणामूर्ति मीडे Regards n pranams Swamiji. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
