Dakshinamurthy Dhyaana Sloka
The leg pressing over a demon, on the top of which the Embodiment of
merits is sitting with one leg folded, the one who teaches difficult
words (vedas) with ease, the sages enjoying (the teachings, sitting) on
ground, with the (hand) posture of explaining, a fire pot, book and
akshamAla in the four hands, Who trembles away my ignorance, to That
Dakshinamurti (salutations).
Purana of the Dakshinamurthy
Dakshinamurti: south faced Lord (yOga mUrti)
The four sons, of Brahma, Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanatana, Sanat kumara did
austere meditation and analysis, but they were unclear of the Supreme
Truth. They finally decided to come to Lord Shiva to get the knowledge
of the Truth. The Lord sat under the banyan tree, and the four sages
also sat down around Him. Lord stayed in the yoga posture without saying
a single word. The four sages got all their doubts cleared just by that
posture. The form in which God appeared as a Supreme Guide is the form
of wisdom Dakshinamurti.
This explains that the Truth cannot be
explained in words and must be experienced. Including the great
chinmudra posture, the posture of ShrI Dakshinamurtii, who is the
teacher of all the teachers, indicates a lot of information that needs
days to explain. As Thirumullar says, the posture of the guru is a thing
to be thought about always. That is the clarity ! (theLivu guruvuru
