Guest guest Posted September 16, 2001 Report Share Posted September 16, 2001 Namaste! I was at Arsha vidya gurukulam,Saylorsburg,PA on labor day for a few hours. There was a puja with chanting of a Dakshinamurthy mantra held from 9-11 in the morning at the Ashram. Can someone post the mantra and its meaning? Thanks, Adi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2001 Report Share Posted September 17, 2001 Namaste Sri Adinaryan: The Mantra that you are referring is probably, Sankara's Dakshinamurthy Ashtakam. The entire Ashtakam along with translation is available at the Homepage of Prof. V. Krishnamoorthy GEMS FROM THE OCEAN OF HINDU THOUGHT, VISION AND PRACTICE http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Rhodes/2952/gohitvip/contents.html Specific Location of Sankara's Dakshinamurthy Ashtakam: http://www.geocities.com/profvk/gohitvip/63.html These verses were also posted and discussed in the List discussions during September and November 1999 by Sri Kathirasan and are available at the list archive.advaitin/ warmest regards, Ram Chandran advaitin, adinarayan@o... wrote: > Namaste! > > I was at Arsha vidya gurukulam,Saylorsburg,PA on labor day for a few > hours.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2001 Report Share Posted September 23, 2001 Dear Sri Ram Chandra, Thanks for your response! The mantra I refer to is a single sentence -meant for japa.A group puja was being done with continuous chanting of this mantra (similar to the mrityunjaya mantra japa).It began like: Om namo bhagavathe dakshinamurthaye....

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2001 Report Share Posted September 24, 2001 Namaste Adinarayan: The mantra that you are referring to is probably the one in the front page of the Arshavidyagurukulam homepage: http://www.arshavidya.org/ Sanskrit Verse: Om! Ishwaro Gururathmethi Moorthibethavibaagine vyomavarthavyaapthehaya dakshinamurtheye namah: Translation: Unto Him who is manifested in the different forms as Isvara, as the Teacher, as the self; who is all pervasive like space; unto Sri Dakshinamurthi- the effulgent form facing the south; Unto Him (siva) be this salutation! For advaitans, Dashinamurthy is the manifestation of Shiva meditating and enjoying the infinite bliss and total peace. Warmest regards, Ram Chandran Note: There can be different variations of the above Mantra and essentially, they convey the same or similar meaning. advaitin, adinarayan@o... wrote: > Dear Sri Ram Chandra, > > Thanks for your response! > The mantra I refer to is a single sentence -meant for japa.A group > puja was being done with continuous chanting of this mantra (similar > to the mrityunjaya mantra japa).It began like: Om namo bhagavathe > dakshinamurthaye.... > > Thanks! > Adi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
