About this listen
Dashakam 93 of Narayaneeyam is significant as it presents the concept of the "24 Gurus" (twenty-four teachers) through whom the humble devotee learns valuable spiritual lessons. This Dasakam emphasizes that everything and everyone in the world, including nature, the elements, and various life experiences, can act as a teacher (guru) guiding the seeker on the path of wisdom and devotion.
The Dasakam teaches the importance of humility and surrender to the Lord, recognizing that the grace of the Lord enables one to renounce attachments, see the world as an illusion (Maya), and transcend dualities such as good and bad. It extols learning virtues such as patience from the earth, non-attachment from the air, purity like water, and equanimity like the vast sky. The reflective contemplations underscore that by observing and learning from the world and its phenomena, devotees can cultivate the qualities needed for spiritual progress.
In essence, Dashakam 93 highlights that spiritual enlightenment and transformation arise from embracing all experiences and entities as teachers by the Lord’s grace, leading to detachment, equanimity, and devotion.
Namaskarams and Dhanyavadaha to Smt Savithri Ramesh and Smt Asha Murarka for their help.
