Introduction to Dakshinamurthy Stotram: Three Forms of Guru

Swamiji conducted a class on the Dakshinamurti Stotra, beginning a new series of teachings on Shankaracharya's 10-shloka text. He explained the significance of Dakshinamurti as an incarnation of Lord Shiva manifesting as a guru, describing three aspects of the guru principle: He described three aspects of the guru principle: Ishwara as the first guru, personal gurus who guide us, and the self as the ultimate guru when the intellect is purified. The class included chanting of invocation shlokas and a brief explanation of the symbolic representations in the traditional depiction of Dakshinamurti, including the Chinmudra hand gesture and the demon Apasmara under the teacher's foot representing ignorance. 🔔 Don't miss out on our upcoming satsangs, classes, and guided practices!
