Dakshinamurti Stotra by Alladi Mahadeva Sastri

Description

The Dakshinamurti Stotra is a revered Sanskrit hymn attributed to the sage Adi Shankaracharya. It is a profound philosophical work that presents the teachings of Advaita Vedanta through the symbolism of Dakshinamurti, the silent teacher who embodies the ultimate reality — Shiva as the supreme guru. The verses explore the nature of the self, the illusion of the material world (Maya), and the realization of non-duality (Advaita) through self-inquiry and inner knowledge. Delivered in a contemplative and poetic form, this stotra serves as both a devotional hymn and a concise manual of metaphysical insight, guiding seekers toward liberation through wisdom rather than ritual. This translation, first published in 1920, primarily contains the Dakshinamurti Stotra, along with commentary by the translator, as well as two shorter works, the Pranava-Vartika and the Dakshinamurti-Upanishad.
