Sri Guru Stutih
IAST English
Lord Dakshina Murthy The Supreme Guru above all Guru's
Śrī Gurustutiḥ is a brief and profound hymn composed by Kavyakantha Vasistha Sri Ganapati Muni in praise of the sacred Guru-paramparā. It reverentially salutes Lord Dakṣiṇāmūrti, Ādi Śaṅkarācārya, and Bhagavān Śrī Ramaṇa Maharṣi, presenting them as luminous embodiments of supreme spiritual wisdom and direct Self-knowledge.
