ಮೂಲ & ಕಥೆ
Traditional Guru-stotra / Dakshinamurti dhyana shloka (Advaita Vedanta tradition) · Unknown (traditional; widely used in Vedantic and monastic lineages) · Classical / medieval
This single dhyana verse is among the most frequently recited Guru salutations in the Advaita and broader Sanatana tradition. It is closely associated with Dakshinamurti — the form of Shiva seated under the banyan tree who, by his very silence, dispelled the doubts of the aged sages who came to him as students. The verse compresses the entire Vedantic vision of the Guru: he is not merely a person but the awareness that is identical with Brahman, the witness of all minds, beyond opposites and gunas.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
Tradition holds that the four eternal Kumaras, though aged sages, were instantly liberated from doubt by the silent teaching of Dakshinamurti seated beneath the banyan tree; reciting this verse with devotion is said to invoke that same wordless grace, dissolving ignorance in the heart of the sincere seeker.

ಅರ್ಥ:I bow to that true Guru, who is the very bliss of Brahman, the bestower of supreme happiness, the One alone, the embodiment of pure knowledge; who is beyond all dualities, vast and untouched like the sky, the goal pointed to by the great declarations such as 'That Thou Art'; who is the One, eternal, immaculate and immovable, the witness of every intellect, beyond all states of mind, and free from the three gunas.

Brahmanandam Parama Sukhadam (Guru / Dakshinamurti Dhyana) ಪಾರಾಯಣ ವಿಧಿ
Sit calmly facing east or north. Chant the verse slowly three times with closed eyes, letting the mind rest on the meaning of each phrase — especially 'Sarvadhi-sakshibhutam' (the witness of all thought). It is traditionally recited as the opening prayer before Vedanta lessons, before meeting one's Guru, and before silent meditation on Dakshinamurti, the teacher who teaches in silence.
