दक्षिणामूर्ति उपनिषद

• krishna yajurvediy parampara se ju de is upanishad mean 'shivatattv' ka vivechan kiya gaya hai. maharshi shaunak adi aur markandey rrishi ke madhy prashnottar ke roop mean isaki rachana ki gayi hai. markandey rrishi isamean 'shivatatv' ka bodh karate haian, jisase dirgh ayu prapt hoti hai.
• ek bar brahmavart desh mean mahabhandir namak vatavriksh ke niche shaunakadi maharshiyoan ne dirghakal tak chalane vale yajn ka prarambh kiya. us samay shaunakadi rrishiyoan ne 'tattvajnan' prapt karane ke lie chiranjivi markandey rrishi se chiranjivi hone ka karan poochha. tab unhoanne bataya ki unake dirghayu hone ka karan shivatattv ka jnan hai.
• us jnan ke vishay mean batate hue unhoanne kaha ki jis sadhana ke dvara dakshinamukh shiv ka prakatikaran hota hai, vahi param rahasyamay shivatattv ka jnan hai.

unhoanne kaha-'sabase pahale 'Om nam:' shabd ka uchcharan karake 'bhagavate' pad ka uchcharan karean. pun: 'dakshina' pad kahean, phir 'moortaye' pad kahean, phir 'asmad' shabad ke chaturthi ka ek vachan 'mahyan' pad kahean tatha bad mean 'medhaan prajnaan' padoan ka uchcharan karean. pun: 'pr' ka uchcharan karake vayu bij 'y' ka uchcharan kar age 'chchh' pad bolean. sabase ant mean agni ka stri pad 'svaha' kahean. is prakar chaubis akshar ka yah manu mantr hai. yah poora is prakar banata hai—
'Om namo bhagavate dakshinamoortaye mahyan medhaan prajnaan prayachchh svaha.'
'is prakar mantr bolakar dhyan karean- maian sphatik mani evan rajat sadrish shubhr varn vale dakshinamoorti bhagavan shiv ki stuti karata hooan.'
ye shiv jnanamudra ko dharan karane vale haian, amritatattv ko dene vale haian, gale mean aksh (rudraksh) mala dharan karate haian, jinake tin netr hai, bhal par chandrama ka nivas hai aur kati mean sarp lipate hue haian tatha jo vibhinn vesh dharan karane mean siddhahasth haian.
markandey muni ne phir kaha—'isake uparant navakshari mantr ka uchcharan karean-
'Om dakshinamoortitaroan.'
usake bad attharah akshar ka manu mantr bolean-
'Om blooan namo hrian aian dakshinamoortaye jnanan dehi svaha.'
'sabhi mantroan mean yah ati gopaniy mantr hai. isamean shiv ka dhyan karate hue dekhean ki unake samast sharir par bhasm ka lep hai, mastak par chandrakala hai, kar-kamaloan mean rudraksh ki mala, vina, pustak tatha jnanamudra hai, sarpoan se sushobhit kaya hai, vyaghracharmadhari bhagavan shiv ki yah dakshinamoorti hai. ve sadaiv hamari raksha karean.'
markandey muni bole-'shiv ke sarvarakshak svaroop ka dhyan karate hue in mantroan ko bolean—
Om hrian shrian sambashivay tubhyan svaha.
Om namo bhagavate tubhyan vatamoolavasine vagishay mahajnanadayine mayine nam:.'
sabhi mantroan mean shreshth yah 'anushtubhamantraraj' hai. bhagavan shiv ki maun, shant mudra mrityuparyant bani rahe, isi ki kamana karani chahie.
markandey muni ne phir kaha—'prabhu darshan ke lie jnan, bhakti aur vairagy ki avashyakata hoti hai. isake dvara ajnan-roopi andhakar nasht ho jata hai aur atma-roopi dipak prajvalit ho uthata hai.'atmatatv' ka bodh hone se hi paramatma ke param anand mean pravesh ho jata hai. isilie brahmajnaniyoan ne usi 'dakshinamukhi shiv' ki upasana par bal diya hai. isase samast bhav-bandhan aur pap nasht ho jate haian. sadhak 'moksh' ko prapt kar leta hai.'
