ઉત્પત્તિ અને કથા

Dakshinamurti Stotram (Dakshinamurti Ashtakam), Verse 1 · Adi Shankaracharya · c. 8th century CE

The Dakshinamurti Stotram is Adi Shankaracharya's hymn to Shiva as the silent, youthful Guru who teaches the realization of the Self. This opening verse sets forth the hymn's central vision — that the cosmos is a reflection appearing within one's own Consciousness through Maya — and offers the first of its salutations to Dakshinamurti, the embodiment of the Guru. Tradition holds that Shankara composed it after meditating on this supreme teaching form of Shiva.

✦ શાસ્ત્રોમાં કહ્યા પ્રમાણે

It is traditionally said that Dakshinamurti taught the four eternal sages (the Sanatkumaras) the highest truth in perfect silence, his very stillness dispelling their doubts. Devotees believe that meditating on this verse and form awakens the inner Guru, granting clarity of understanding to sincere students of Vedanta.

અર્થ:The universe is like a city seen reflected in a mirror, existing within one's own Self, yet appearing — through Maya — as though it were outside, just as a dream-world appears through sleep. To Him who, at the moment of awakening, directly realizes this and knows His own Self alone to be the one non-dual Reality — to that glorious form of the Guru, to Sri Dakshinamurti, may this salutation be offered.

Recite the verse slowly, dwelling on the mirror-and-city image and the recognition of the Self as the one non-dual Reality. It is especially fitting to chant before beginning scriptural study, invoking Dakshinamurti as the inner Guru. As a contemplative stotra verse, ponder its meaning deeply; reciting it 11 or 21 times helps fix the teaching and the salutation in the heart.

Dakshinamurti is Lord Shiva in his form as the supreme Guru — depicted as a youthful teacher seated under a banyan tree, instructing aged sages through silence. He represents the highest knowledge of the Self imparted not through words but through inner awakening.
It is the first verse of the Dakshinamurti Stotram (Dakshinamurti Ashtakam), composed by Adi Shankaracharya — one of the most philosophically dense and revered hymns in the Advaita Vedanta tradition.
Just as a vast city can appear within a small mirror while really being only a reflection, the entire universe appears within one's own Consciousness through the power of Maya. It seems to be outside and independent, but it has no separate reality apart from the Self in which it shines — much as a dream-world seems real until one awakens.
In a dream, an entire world arises from and within the mind, appearing external and solid, yet vanishes on waking. The verse uses this to point to a higher 'awakening' (prabodha) — the realization that the waking world too appears within the Self and is, in essence, the non-dual Self alone.
