dakhina moorthi stotram is a tribute to the great teacher[guru] who unfolds the supreme truth. one of the shloka is "Nana chidra gadodara sthitha maha, deepa prabha baswaram, jnyanam yasyathu chakshuradhi karanam dwara bahi spandase, janameethi tameva bandamanuvad yethath samastam jagath, thasme shree guru moorthaye namayidham, shree dakshinamoorthaye!-----well imagine a lamp is inside a big pot, wherein lot's of small holes are there, we can see as many rays as possible. now there is only one lamp, that has been lightened up, but for us it appears as if there are number of rays Adi shankara says we are seeing this phenomenon of plural entities due to our senses like eyes,ears etc which reports to our mind the external world. then i say i know this and i do not this both the phenomenons are objectified by one entity called atman or supreme truth. . it's like one sun and several pots of water. and in each pot we see the sun. in reality there is only one sun, but it appears as if there are many suns. this is due to the power of maya that plays a part, it covers the satyam, and when this covering or ignorance is removed the supreme truth prevails. to the supreme truth called Dakshina moothy [adi guru] i pay my obeisance.
