Sri Dakshinamurti is regarded as an aspect of Shiva, as the universal teacher. He is the very personification of spiritual wisdom and eminence; and one who is immersed in Self. Sri Dakshinamurti who is kevala murti (single or not accompanied by another deity or a consort) is always depicted singly.
The entire Dakshinamurti stotram lyrics and meaning tries to explain the glory of Atman (Ultimate self), which can be attained with the grace of Guru Dakshinamurti, a form of God Shiva considered as the God of enlightenment, who sits facing south-ward direction surrounded by the sages.
The Dakshinamurti storam emphasizes in bringing enlightenment, knowledge and the concept of Ultimate one (Atman) in the devotee. Further immersing in the supreme God Shiva.
