श्री शङ्कराचार्य अष्टोत्तर शत नामावलि
(Shri Shankaracharya Ashtottara Shatanavali)
Also known as kailasacala madhyastham kamitabhistadayakam
This sacred text is a collection of one hundred and eight auspicious names dedicated to Adi Shankaracharya, the great Advaita philosopher and reformer. Chanting these names is considered a powerful way to invoke the wisdom, grace, and spiritual guidance of the Acharya. The stotra serves as a meditative practice that aligns the devotee with the non-dualistic principles taught by Shankara. Regular recitation is believed to sharpen the intellect, cultivate inner peace, and remove ignorance, helping the practitioner attain clarity and devotion on their spiritual journey toward self-realization and liberation.
