Siva the great teacher

Lord Bramha's four children who were sanaka, sanandana, sanAtana, sanat kumAra who carried out a lot of analysis and meditation but were unclear 0f Supreme truth.
 

They were puzzled and thought how best to overcome their doubts and thought that going to Lord Siva will be the best solution.

They went to Lord Siva and requested him to give answers for their doubts. Lord Siva smiled and sat under a banyan tree.

The four sages sat under the tree in front of him. Lord Siva has not spoken a single word and sat in front of then in Yoga in a posture with his one folded on top of the other.

In amazement the four sages had all their doubts cleared as the explanation for their doubts were explained in the posture that Lord Siva took is the form of  Dhakshanamoorthy who is also known as the Gurubaghavan who is one the Navagrahas also known as Jupiter.

The leg pressing over a demon, on the top of which the Embodiment of merits is sitting with one leg folded, the one who teaches difficult words (vedas) with ease, the sages enjoying (the teachings, sitting) on ground, with the (hand) posture of explaining, a fire pot, book and akshamAla in the four hands, Who trembles away my ignorance, to That dakshiNAmUrti (salutations).

The day Thursdays are the day for the prayer for "Dhakshanamoorthy". Who will grant us wisdom to analyse and pick the righteous path of our life.
