Beautiful shloka.

Lord Ranganatha In Srirangam Temple also faces South,,Lord's feet face east,,Lord is in reclining posture.

No one but Lord Dakshinamurthy who resides as the Guru in one's own spiritual heart can destroy the arrogant, stupid and vain ego lodged in the brain. May we pray for the same Lord's grace every day to erase the ego sense.

Dakshinamurthy is perhaps the only Hindu deity that sits facing the southern direction.This fact is implicit in the name itself. The great seer Ramana Maharshi,has interpreted the name as "Dakshina amurty", meaning one who is capable but without form. Both names refer to Lord Siva and represent Him as the Supreme Teacher.

Dakshinamurthy taught His disciples by His silence, to make the disciples rely on their own intelligence.

Ehat does it mean if it's facing south?

[topbluffa1]

@ZhaoPao

facing South represents Death and death represents Change/liberation

[shashishekaran]

when we face the lord who is facing south, the student faces North which is Liberation. Very powerful on Thursday this stotram.
