dakshinamurti
Dhakshinamoorthy (Daksinamurti) is an aspect of the Hindu Supreme God Shiva as a guru (teacher) of all types of knowledge. This aspect of Lord Paramasiva converted to Paramaguru is his personification as the supreme or the ultimate awareness, understanding and knowledge. This form represents Shiva as a teacher of yoga, music, and wisdom, and giving exposition on the Sastras. He is worshipped as the god of wisdom, complete and rewarding meditation.
As per scriptures, if a person doesn't have a Paramaguru, then they can consider and worship Lord Dhakshinamoorthy as their Guru. Eventually they will be blessed with a human Self-Realised Guru, if they are worthy.
Dakshinamurti literally means "one who is facing south" in sanskrit. According to another school of thought 'Dakshinya' means Karuna in Sanskrit or kindness (benevolence). So this manifestation of Shiva is a benevolent teacher who accords wisdom to seekers of salvation. In most of the Siva temples, the stone image of Dakshinamurthy is installed, facing south.
It is on Thursdays that special worship services are offered to Dakshinamurthy in many Saivite temples. Some temple traditions hold full moon nights, particularly the night of the Guru Purnima as the appropriate time for worship services to Dakshinamurthy.
