We installation of Lord Dakshinamurti at the School property for as he is Lord
Shiva as Guru.
Slokam:
The leg pressing over a demon, on the top of which the Embodiment of merits is
sitting with one leg folded, the one who teaches difficult words (vedas) with
ease, the sages enjoying (the teachings, sitting) on ground, with the (hand)
posture of explaining, a fire pot, book and akshamala in the four hands, Who
trembles away my ignorance, to That Dakshinamurti (salutations).
purana of the deity :
Dakshina Murti: is the south faced Lord, and aspect of Lord Shiva (yoga murti)
The four sons, of Brahma, Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanatana, Sanat Kumara did austere
tapas and analysis, but they were unclear of the Supreme Truth. They finally
decided to approach Lord Shiva to get the knowledge of the Truth. The Lord sat
under the banyan tree, and the four sages also sat down around Him. Lord stayed
in the yoga posture without saying a single word. The four sages got all their
doubts cleared just by that posture. The form in which God appeared as a Supreme
Guide is the form of wisdom dakshinamurti.
This explains that the Truth cannot be explained in words and must be
experienced. Including the great chinmudra posture, the posture of shrI
dhakshina murti, who is the teacher of all the teachers, indicates a lot of
information that needs days to explain. As thirumular says, the posture of the
guru is a thing to be thought about always. That is the clarity ! (thelivu
