Nirvaan Shatakam

Nirvaan Shatakam, also known as Atma Shatakam, is a profound hymn composed by the great Adi Shankaracharya. The verses encapsulate the essence of Advait Vedanta, emphasizing the realization of the true self, which transcends physical existence, emotions, and intellect.

The Nirvaan Shatakam, composed by Adi Shankaracharya, holds profound significance in Advait Vedanta philosophy by guiding individuals toward self-realization and liberation. This hymn emphasizes the realization that the true self (Atman) is not confined to the body, mind, or ego, but is the unchanging, eternal consciousness (Brahman). By systematically negating identification with transient aspects of existence and affirming the self as pure consciousness and bliss, the verses help dissolve the ego and foster a deep sense of inner peace. Reciting and meditating on the Nirvaan Shatakam aids in detaching from material and emotional identities, leading to the understanding that one’s true nature is identical to the universal consciousness. This realization is central to achieving moksh (liberation) and transcending the cycle of birth and death, making the Nirvaan Shatakam a vital text for spiritual seekers aiming to experience their oneness with the ultimate reality.

 

निर्वाण षट्कम

मनोबुद्ध्यहङ्कार चित्तानि नाहं
न च श्रोत्रजिह्वे न च ध्राणनेत्रे ।
न च व्योम भूमिर्न तेजो न वायुः
चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम् ।। १ ।।

न च प्राणसंज्ञो न वै पञ्चवायुः
न वा सप्तधातुः न वा पञ्चकोशः ।
न वाक्पाणिपादं न चोपस्थपायु
चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम्  शिवोऽहम् ।। २ ।।

न मे द्वेषरागौ न मे लोभमोहौ
मदो नैव मे नैव मात्सर्यभावः ।
न धर्मो न चार्थो न कामो न मोक्षः
चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम् ।। ३ ।।

न पुण्यं न पापं न सौख्यं न दुःखं
न मन्त्रो न तीर्थं न वेदा न यज्ञाः ।
अहं भोजनं नैव भोज्यं न भोक्ता
चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम् ।। ४ ।।

न मृत्युर्न शङ्का न मे जातिभेदः
पिता नैव मे नैव माता न जन्मः
न बन्धुर्न मित्रं गुरुर्नैव शिष्यं
चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम् ।। ५ ।।

अहं निर्विकल्पो निराकाररूपो
विभुर्व्याप्य सर्वत्र सर्वेन्द्रियाणाम् ।
सदा मे समत्वम ना मुक्तिर्न बन्धः
चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम् ।। ६ ।।
