Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Dear Sir, My humble pranams to you. It is really a sublime stotra. I have got some doubts sir. If this really be a composition of our beloved Acharya, then why it is not been chanted in Sringeri Mutt? I have been blessed with the Guru Padukas of Shri Abhinava Vidya Tirtha and as a part of my nitya panchayatana, i worship them. I asked Shri Bharati Tirtha Swamigal for a sampradaya guru paduka stotram for my nitya guru anusandhana to the Holy Padukas. Swamigal gave me the popular hymn " nAlIka-nIkAsa padAdritAbhyAm nArIvimOhAdi nivArakAbhyAM.....namo namaH srIgurupAdukAbhyAM... " . This is the popular stotram composed by Shri Sacchidananda Sivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati Swamigal of Sringeri. Right from Shri Chandrasekhara Bharati to Shri Bharati Tirtha Swamigal chant this guru paduka stotram which is now the Guru Paduka Stotra of Sringeri Parampara. Has it been over-looked by our jagatgurus? Kindly clarify because i too have a wonderful Siva Stotram which was given to my guruji at Kaladi by a Nambudri. This stotram was carefully preserved by that Nambudri and he is of the view and belief that it was composed by Acharya Sankara Bhagavatpada. regs, sriram advaitin , " V.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Namaste: There are many Slokas with the title - " Guru pAdukA pancakam " and the one stated by ProfVK is attributed to Adi Sankara. Wikipedia has some interesting information on the importance of pAdukA and it is a worthwile reading material for interested members. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paduka I like the following audio version of Gurupadaka panchakam (not the version by Adi Sankara). http://ishare.rediff.com/music/others/guru-paduka-panchakam/953166 Warm regards, Ram Chandran advaitin , " Ram " <ramvchandran wrote: > > Namaste: > > Sundarji may be able to provide the link with the Sanskrit version.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 What is interesting is that the Guru Padhuka Panchakam was printed some 50 years before or so, by the Tanjore Serfoji Manuscript Library, in their advaita catalogue, as a work of an unknown composer. In the course of time it has "become" a composition of the Revered Bhashyakara. --- On Tue, 30/3/10, Ram <ramvchandran wrote: Ram <ramvchandran Re: Guru pAdukA pancakam -- by Adi Shankaraadvaitin Date: Tuesday, 30 March, 2010, 5:14 PM Namaste:Sundarji may be able to provide the link with the Sanskrit version.
