O knower of the nectar-ocean of the scriptures, the expounder of the

knowledge of the great upanishadic treasure! I meditate on Your pure

lotus feet in my heart. O Preceptor Shankara, be my refuge.

Save me whose heart is afflicted by the misery of the ocean of births,

O (You who are) the ocean of compassion! (By Your grace) make me the

knower of the truths of all the systems of philosophy. O Preceptor

Shankara, be my refuge.

The people have found happiness due to You, who have the intellect

adept in the inquiry into Self-knowledge. Make me understand the

knowledge of God and the soul. O Preceptor Shankara, be my refuge.

You are Lord Shiva Himself. Knowing this my mind is filled with an

abundance of joy. Put an end to my sea of delusion. O Preceptor

Shankara, be my refuge.

Only after numerous virtuous deeds have been performed in many ways,

does a keen desire for the experience of Brahman through You arise.

Protect (me who am) extremely helpless. O Preceptor Shankara, be my

refuge.

For the sake of saving the world, (Your) great (disciples) wander

assuming various forms and guises. O Guru, You shine like the sun

(among them). O Preceptor Shankara, be my refuge.

O Best among the Gurus! The Lord whose flag bears the emblem of the

bull! You have no equal among the wise. You who are affectionate to

those who seek refuge! The treasure of truth! O Preceptor Shankara,

be my refuge.

I have neither understood even one branch of knowledge clearly, nor

do I possess any wealth, O Guru. Quickly bestow on me the compassion

which is natural to You. O Preceptor Shankara, be my refuge.

Hi Sridhar,

 

Thanks for posting on the occasion of our aachaarya's jayantii. I prepared a

small presentation for the same yesterday (for my friend). It is at

http://ambaa.org/pdf/shankara_9may2008.pdf - it may have errors. It is based

on the ashhTottaram meaning I posted in the past to advaita-l.

 

Corrections are welcome.

Respected Sir,

 

What a beautiful presentation ! It is always a joy to see anything

on our beloved aachaaryaa, who is a jagadguru in the truest sense of

the word. On that sacred day of his jayantii, i was reading the essay

of Shri Harsha on our aachaarya on this list (starting @

/message/3736), which concluded

with the following lovely words:

 

" Salutations to the incarnation of Sri Dakshinamurthy, the greatest

teacher of the universe, salutations to Sri Krishna, the Jagadguru,

salutations to Sri Vedavyasa, the teacher of the humanity, and

salutations to Sri Adi Shankaracharya, the embodiment of all the

three great teachers. "
