Śrī Dakṣiṇāmūrti Stotram is beautiful poem and prayer addressed to Īśvara, the source of all that is, who is presented in the form of teacher. The author Ādi Śaṅkarācārya succinctly unfolds the vision of non-duality in ten verses, exploring the erroneous assumptions we make about ourselves and the world which lead to suffering.
This stotra is an important work within the advaita tradition, presenting a number of the essential prakriyā-s or teaching approaches which guide a student to clarity regarding his or her innate wholeness and non-separateness from the sacred.
