At the Lotus Feet / Padukas of our Gurus!

"Salutations and Salutations to the sandals of my Guru,
Which attracts us, to lotus like feet of our Guru,
Which cures us, of the unwanted desires,
And which helps fulfill the desires of those who salute."

A collage of Padams and Padukas of Lord Rama, Adi Shankara, Mahaswamigal, Ramana Maharshi, Sringeri Swamigal, Pudhu Periyava, Bala Periyava, Mettur Swamigal

Here is Adi Shankara's Guru Paduka Stothram recited melodiously:

Adi Shankara's ivory padukas in a golden case!

The below One is the Sri Paduka of Srimad Acharyal Himself (Adi Shankara), which is present in our SriMatam only and in no other Mutt. This Paduka, covered with several layers of gold, is actually made of ivory, and has imprints of Srimad Acharyal's Padaravindam. With this same Paduka, the Bala Sanyasin (Adi Shankara) made Bharatha holy by treading across, spreading Sanathana Dharma and Advaita Siddhantha.
 

 

The Paduka can be seen during the Deepa Namaskaram every evening.

Thanks a ton to Shri Sudarshan for this treasure. Just one look at it will erase all our sins!
