अर्थ

ब्रह्मानन्दं परमसुखदं सबसे प्रिय गुरु-वन्दना श्लोक है, जिसे सद्गुरु तथा भगवान दक्षिणामूर्ति (शिव के मौन-गुरु स्वरूप) की कृपा प्राप्त करने हेतु चढ़ाया जाता है। एक ही श्लोक में यह गुरु को निराकार ब्रह्म के समान — आनन्दमय, सर्वज्ञ, आकाशवत्, अद्वितीय, नित्य और त्रिगुणातीत — बताता है। इसे पाठ, ध्यान एवं वेदान्त अध्ययन के आरम्भ में पढ़ा जाता है।

उत्पत्ति और कथा

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.

शास्त्रों में वर्णित

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.

अर्थ:जो ब्रह्म का आनन्दस्वरूप, परम सुख का दाता, केवल (अद्वितीय) और ज्ञान की साक्षात् मूर्ति हैं; जो द्वन्द्वों से परे, आकाश के समान व्यापक एवं निर्लेप, तथा 'तत्त्वमसि' आदि महावाक्यों के लक्ष्य हैं; जो एक, नित्य, निर्मल और अचल हैं, समस्त बुद्धियों के साक्षी, भावों से अतीत और तीनों गुणों से रहित हैं — उन सद्गुरु को मैं प्रणाम करता हूँ।

ब्रह्मानन्दं परमसुखदं (गुरु / दक्षिणामूर्ति ध्यान) जप विधि

जप संख्या3बार
उत्तम समयAt the beginning of meditation, scriptural study or teaching; Guru Purnima; Thursday (Guru's day) mornings

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.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

The verse salutes the Sadguru — the true Guru — described as one with the formless Absolute (Brahman). In tradition this is identified with Lord Dakshinamurti, the youthful, silent form of Shiva who teaches the highest knowledge through stillness.
Because it places the seeker in the right attitude — humility before the Guru and remembrance that the Self is the witness of all thoughts. It is a classic opening prayer (dhyana shloka) for Vedanta classes and meditation.
It means the Guru is the very 'goal' or truth pointed to by the great Upanishadic sayings (mahavakyas) such as 'Tat Tvam Asi' — 'That Thou Art' — which reveal the identity of the individual self with the Absolute.
No. It can be chanted by anyone. The 'Guru' here is ultimately the inner light of awareness; the verse helps even a solitary seeker turn within toward that witnessing presence.
