Bhavanyashtakam

A stotra worshipping Goddess Bhavani. Great author, Adi Shankaracharya, uses the practice of deduction to prove that nothing or no-one will save us. Only mother Bhavani is with us and she is our savior. She will lead us to the path of righteousness.

The “Bhavanyashtakam” is a revered hymn composed by the great philosopher and saint Adi Shankaracharya, dedicated to Goddess Bhavani, a form of Goddess Parvati. This hymn consists of eight verses (ashtakam) and is a heartfelt plea to the Goddess for her grace and protection.

This hymn beautifully expresses the poet’s deep sense of humility, surrender, and absolute dependence on the divine grace of Goddess Bhavani, seeking her protection and blessings in every aspect of life.

भवान्यष्टकं

न तातो न माता न बन्धुर्न दाता
न पुत्रो न पुत्री न भृत्यो न भर्ता ।
न जाया न विद्या न वृत्तिर्ममैव
गतिस्त्वं गतिस्त्वं त्वमेका भवानि ।। १ ।।

भवाब्धावपारे महादुःखभीरु
प्रपात प्रकामी प्रलोभी प्रमत्तः ।
कुसंसारपाशप्रबद्धः सदाहं
गतिस्त्वं गतिस्त्वं त्वमेका भवानि ।। २ ।।

न जानामि दानं न च ध्यानयोगं
न जानामि तन्त्रं न च स्तोत्रमन्त्रम् ।
न जानामि पूजां न च न्यासयोगं
गतिस्त्वं गतिस्त्वं त्वमेका भवानि ।। ३ ।।

न जानामि पुण्यं न जानामि तीर्थं
न जानामि मुक्तिं लयं वा कदाचित् ।
न जानामि भक्तिं व्रतं वापि मातर्-
गतिस्त्वं गतिस्त्वं त्वमेका भवानि ।। ४ ।।

कुकर्मी कुसङ्गी कुबुद्धिः कुदासः
कुलाचार हीनः कदाचार लीनः
कुदृष्टिः कुवाक्यप्रबन्धः सदाहं
गतिस्त्वं गतिस्त्वं त्वमेका भवानि ।। ५ ।।

प्रजेशं रमेशं महेशं सुरेशं
दिनेशं निशीथेश्वरं वा कदाचित् ।
न जानामि चान्यत् सदाहं शरण्ये
गतिस्त्वं गतिस्त्वं त्वमेका भवानि ।। ६ ।।

विवादे विषादे प्रमादे प्रवासे
जले चानले पर्वते शत्रुमध्ये ।
अरण्ये शरण्ये सदा मां प्रपाहि
गतिस्त्वं गतिस्त्वं त्वमेका भवानि ।। ७ ।।

अनाथो दरिद्रो जरारोगयुक्तो
महाक्षीण-दीनः सदा जाड्यवत्रः ।
विपत्तौ प्रविष्टः प्रनष्टः सदाहं
गतिस्त्वं गतिस्त्वं त्वमेका भवानि ।। ८ ।।

।। इति श्रीमदादिशंकराचार्यविरचितं भवान्यष्टकं सम्पूर्णम् ।।
