Summary

Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches the Dakshinamurti Stotra as part of a spiritual retreat. This Sanskrit hymn, attributed to Adi Shankaracharya, is a profound exposition on the metaphysics of the universe, presented through the lens of Advaita Vedanta. It venerates Lord Shiva in the form of Dakshinamurti—the divine teacher—and explores the nature of reality, consciousness, and self-knowledge.
