Guru’s feet symbolises their unending grace and guidance. As you bow down to your Guru’s feet, it melts away the ego and opens you to feel their blessings more profoundly.
Guru Paduka Stotra is Adi Shankaracharya’s soulful tribute to the pious feet of the Guru. Originally composed in Sanskrit, it expresses our gratefulness for our Master — one whose footsteps lead us to a life brimming with love, peace, and spiritual fulfilment.
The precious words of the Stotra remain largely uninterpreted, partly because of the language and more so, owing to our inability to comprehend and absorb the words of an enlightened soul. With this series, Sri Guru elaborates the meaning of this timeless Stotra, thus giving us a better chance to connect and contemplate.
In Episode#1, Sri Guru talks about the origin of this divine composition and provides the interpretation of its first verse. Tune in, and evoke the vibrations of heartfelt devotion towards the Guru!
