P.R.Ramachander
(Dakshinamurthy or 
Jnana Dakshinamurti (Tamil: தட்சிணாமூர்த்தி, Sanskrit: दक्षिणामूर्ति (Dakṣiṇāmūrti)) is an aspect of the Hindu god Shiva as a guru (teacher) of all types of knowledge (jnana). This aspect of Shiva is his personification as the supreme or the ultimate awareness, understanding and knowledge.[ This form represents Shiva as a teacher of yoga, music, and wisdom, and giving exposition on the shastras He is worshipped as the god of wisdom, complete and rewarding meditation.As per scriptures,if a person don't have any Guru then they can consider and worship Lord Dakshinamurthy as their Guru.Eventually they will be blessed with a human Self-Realised Guru if they are worthy.(Quoted from Wikipedia).He is seen as young lad   sitting below a Banyan tree   and teaching several sages .He is supposed  to be silent  and just  by seeing him the  Saints who are  old men learn everything. He is always seen facing the south  . The  temple of Mahakaleswar in Ujjain is  one of the great temples where  he is the main deity . In most of the Shiva temples, he  has separate sub temple dedicated to him.  It is believed   that problems if any caused  by  planet Jupiter  are solved by worshipping him.)
