Akhilananda Sandayi - Srimad Abhinava Vidyatirtha Aksharamala Stotram | Lyrical with English Meaning

A hymn of devotion composed by Jagadguru Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji in honor of his Guru, Jagadguru Sri Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamiji, the 35th Acharya of the Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri — revering Him as the embodiment of bliss, wisdom, compassion, and the eternal Guru who imparts true knowledge to seekers.

This lyrical video presents the verses with Sanskrit text, English transliteration, and simple English meaning (drawn from the book The Multifaceted Jivanmukta by Sri Umesh Ji), bringing out the devotional and poetic beauty of this hymn.

Excerpt from the book “The Multifaceted Jivanmukta,” which narrates the circumstances that led to the composition of this divine stotram:

"In the late seventies, I [Śrī Umesh Ji] requested Śrī Sannidhānam [Jagadguru Śrī Śrī Bhāratī Tīrtha Mahaswamiji] one morning to bless me with some verses on His Holiness [Jagadguru Śrī Śrī Abhinava Vidyātīrtha Mahaswamiji]. Within minutes of His going to His room after completing His āhnika and paying obeisance to His Holiness, He called out to me and gave me a sheet of paper in which He had quickly penned, in a neat hand, eight verses in the anuṣṭubh metre. The first letters of the verses were ‘A-bhi-na-va-vi-dyā-tī-rtha’, which, when read together, formed His Holiness’s holy name ‘Abhinava-vidyātīrtha’."

Thus was composed the Akṣaramālā Stotram — an octad of verses, now offered for the reflection and delight of Guru-bhaktas.
