Guru Stotram

Guru Stotram is a sacred selection of fourteen verses from the Guru Gita of the Skanda Purana, presented as a profound dialogue between Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati on the glory of the Guru.

Traditionally chanted by students at the beginning of every study session, these verses invoke devotion, humility and deep surrender to the spiritual master. The recurring refrain “tasmai sri gurave namah – salutations to that noble Guru” gently dissolves ego and opens the heart to grace.

Regular chanting of Guru Stotram with understanding of its meaning becomes a powerful sadhana to integrate one’s personality, elevate one’s thinking and purify one’s speech.
