No other divine form can better represent the attributes of Satyam (Universal Truth), Jnanam (Knowledge of the Supreme Brahman), Anantam (Boundless), and the qualities of Namelessness, Formlessness and Immovability as does 'Dakshinamurthy' who is the very personification of the supreme entity. Dakshinamurthy portrays the Supreme knowledge, which is अवाङ्गमनगोचरः ॥ Avaangmangochara or describable neither by words nor by intellect, by ज्ञानमुद्रा ॥ Jnanamudra - symbolic representation of perfection in Silence - the 'Oneness' of the Jeevatma (Self) and Paramatma as given in the following sloka.<blockquote>"

Stot. 3)"

Srikalahasteeswara (Shiva) in the form of  Dakshinamoorthy, preached the Advaita philosophy to the three Munis namely, Suka, Sanatkumara and Parashara. The Dakshinamurthy Stotramala composed by Sri Shankaraacharya as an exquisite Mantra extols the grand secrets of the Upanishads, a brilliant literary effort, which not only determines the Jagat swaroopam (nature of the Universe) and clarifies the universality of the Atma but also bestows on the seekers of material wealth (Jagat Bhavana) as well the spiritual knowledge seeker (Brahma Bhavana) alike with all prosperity. The Dakshinamurthy stotram has ten verses two of which are given below.<blockquote>"
