A young boy, mature in wisdom yet considered a dullard by the ignorant world, breaks into mellifluous and potent verses enshrining the Atma-vidya, when Sri Adi Sankaracharya enquires from him: Who are you, my child? The response of the boy came to be revered as ‘Hastamalaka-stotram’. The greatness of this composition can be gauged by the fact that Sri Adi Sankaracharya himself wrote a commentary on it.
Since, to this boy the knowledge was as clear as 'a gooseberry' (amalaka) kept on one’s palm (hasta), Acharya Sankara named him ‘Hastamalaka’, and he became famous as one of the four renowned disciples of the Acharya.
Hastamalaka Stotram is a contemplative text, born of direct experience and is therefore profound in content and is truly a text for deep reflection and meditation.
A total of 11 video sessions by Swami Advayananda, divided into 4 lessons, are made available to the registered students.
