“Stuti by Shruti” is a traditional Sanskrit expression often used in Hindu philosophical and devotional contexts.
- Stuti (स्तुति) means praise, hymn, or glorification.
- Shruti (श्रुति) literally means “that which is heard” and refers to the revealed scriptures of the Vedic tradition—especially the Vedas and Upanishads.
So “Stuti by Shruti” means:
Praise of the Divine by the revealed scriptures themselves.
In many traditions—especially within Vedanta—this phrase points to passages where the Upanishads or Vedas glorify Brahman, Ishvara, or the ultimate reality.
In an Advaita context, it can also imply something deeper:
- the scriptures are not merely praising a distant God,
- they are pointing the seeker back toward their own true nature as pure awareness or Brahman.
Examples include mahavakyas (“great statements”) from the Upanishads such as:
- “Tat Tvam Asi” — That Thou Art
- “Aham Brahmasmi” — I am Brahman
These are considered not just philosophical ideas, but revelatory pointers intended to awaken self-recognition.
