Sri Medha Dakshinamurthy represents Siva as the universal teacher of wisdom apart from his regular duty of dissolution (laya). Devout Hindus believe Sri Medha Dakshinamurthy is the God of wisdom who can understand our minds and set our mindsets in right direction with out talking a single word. Sri Medha Dakshinamurti yagam is a Vedic ritual of worshipping and invoking Sri Medha Dakshinamurthy, a manifestation of Siva.
