Svarupa Anusandhana Ashtakam – An Octet on Self-Contemplation
SPEAKERS
A seeker embodies the knowledge gained through the process of Niddhidhyasanam. The gaining of knowledge happens through Shravanam (Attentive Listening) & Mananam (Constant reflection) and these are easily accomplished in the journey of seeking. Where we lack clarity is how to imbibe the knowledge gained.
This is where Adi Shankaracharya’s Swarupa Anusandhan Ashtakam delves into the process of abiding by one’s nature (Swarupa Anusandhanam), this is also what we refer to as Dhyanam. But meditating not on any specific deity, but rather on one’s own true nature. In this series, Swamini Svatmavidyananda will discuss the verses of this invaluable shloka given to us by Adi Shankaracharya.
