Experience the profound wisdom of Adi Shankaracharya with “Prabodhasudhakara – Nectar-Ocean of Enlightenment.” This work presents the original Sanskrit text alongside a translation and notes by SAMVID. Included is the “Dakshinamurti Stotra,” a celebrated poem that showcases Adi Shankaracharya’s dual nature as both poet and mystic, reaching the highest planes of his being. The narrative unfolds with the four sons of Brahman, born from his mind, who hesitated to continue the lineage of creation. Yearning to return to their source, they encountered Lord Siva as Jnana-Dakshinamurti, existing in a state of blissful “knowledge by identity.” As the subtle veil obscured their vision, they, along with other sages, contemplated the radiant Silence. In this perfect communion, teaching was imparted and received through Silence. Adi Shankaracharya embodied this realization and articulated the Silence of Compassionate Knowledge through ten stanzas of profound verse, intended for the betterment of humanity. Further illuminating these teachings is “Manasollasa – Brilliant Play of Thought,” a commentary by Sri Suresvaracharya, the master’s disciple, designed to assist those seeking deeper understanding. This collection also features the ancient “Dakshinamurti Upanishad” and Suresvaracharya’s “Pranava Vartika,” both presented in Nagari script. The English translation of these four texts is provided by Sri Alladi Mahadeva Sastry Ji, a renowned scholar. His insightful introductory essay, “The Vedanta Doctrine of Sankaracharya,” is a valuable aid for readers.
