DASA SLOKI : THE TEN - VERSED HYMEN ( I am that One Sivam ) : Swami Chinmayananda

1. Introduction :

This bunch of ten slokam-s issued forth from the bosom of Sri Swami Adi Sankaracharya,  when Swamiji met his "GURU GOVINDAPADA" for the first time.

The Guru asked Swamiji who he was, and the latter's reply was in the form of these ten slokam-s, each ending with the words " SIVAH KEVALO'HAM" ( I am of the form of Pure Auspiciousness ).

They sparkle with subtle meditative thoughts and are chanted by VEDANTIK STUDENTS to lift themselves into high moods of meditation.

It is also said the Swami Sri Adi Sankaracharya gave out these very verses to the disciples before Swamiji's disappearance from this world, when they asked Swamiji, to instruct them specifically on the ideas to be contemplated and meditated upon.

Next : Slokam-1.
