Hymn to Dakshinamoorthy

The Upanishads proudly declare – Brahman alone is the Reality; the world of change is a mere delusion.



The pregnant import of this ethereal declaration forms the basis for exploration of the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta in Shri Adi Shankaracharya’s Dakshinamurti Stotra. Though containing only ten verses, it packages a punch of arguments, assertions and negations that clarify the confusion seekers have and guides them to the goal of spiritual Realisation through the practice of upasana.



Swami Chinmayananda’s commentary on the Dakshinamurti Stotra is a compelling guide to understanding its philosophical import, subtlety of expression and confident assertions.
