Nirvana Shatakam Lyrics
Nirvana Shatakam Lyrics in English
Mano buddhi ahankara chittani naaham ।
Na cha shrotravjihve na cha ghraana netre ॥
Na cha vyoma bhumir na tejo na vaayuhu।
Chidananda rupah Shivo’ham Shivo’ham ॥
Na cha prana sangyo na vai pancha vayuhu ।
Na va sapta dhatur na va pancha koshah ॥
Na vak pani-padam na chopastha payu ।
Chidananda rupah Shivo’ham Shivo’ham ॥
Na me dvesha ragau na me lobha mohau ।
Na me vai mado naiva matsarya bhavaha ॥
Na dharmo na chartho na kamo na mokshaha ।
Chidananda rupah shivo’ham shivo’ham ॥
Na punyam na papam na saukhyam na duhkham ।
Na mantro na tirtham na veda na yajnah ॥
Aham bhojanam naiva bhojyam na bhokta ।
Chidananda rupah shivo’ham shivo’ham ॥
Na me mrtyu shanka na mejati bhedaha ।
Pita naiva me naiva mataa na janmaha ॥
Na bandhur na mitram gurur naiva shishyaha ।
Chidananda rupah shivo’ham shivo’ham ॥
Aham nirvikalpo nirakara rupo ।
Vibhut vatcha sarvatra sarvendriyanam ॥
Na cha sangatham naiva muktir na meyaha ।
Chidananda rupah shivo’ham shivo’ham ॥
निर्वाण शतकम् हिंदी में
मनो-बुद्धि-अहंकार चित्तादि नाहं
न च श्रोत्र-जिह्वे न च घ्राण-नेत्रे ।
न च व्योम-भूमी न तेजो न वायु
चिदानंद-रूपं शिवो-हं शिवो-हं ॥
न च प्राण-संज्ञो न वै पञ्च-वायु:
न वा सप्त-धातुर्न वा पञ्च-कोष: ।
न वाक्-पाणी-पादौ न चोपस्थ पायु:
चिदानंद-रूपं शिवो-हं शिवो-हं ॥
न मे द्वेष-रागौ न मे लोभ-मोहौ
मदे नैव मे नैव मात्सर्य-भाव: ।
न धर्मो न चार्थो न कामो न मोक्ष:
चिदानंद-रूपं शिवो-हं शिवो-हं ॥
न पुण्यं न पापं न सौख्यं न दु:खं
न मंत्रो न तीर्थं न वेदा न यज्ञा: ।
अहं भोजनं नैव भोज्यं न भोक्ता
चिदानंद-रूपं शिवो-हं शिवो-हं ॥
न मे मृत्यु न मे जातिभेद:
पिता नैव मे नैव माता न जन्मो ।
न बन्धुर्न मित्र: गुरुर्नैव शिष्य:
चिदानंद-रूपं शिवो-हं शिवो-हं ॥
अहं निर्विकल्पो निराकार रूपो
विभुत्त्वाच्च सर्वत्र सर्वेन्द्रियाणां ।
सदा मे समत्त्वं न मुक्तिर्न बंध:
चिदानंद रूपं शिवो-हं शिवो-हं॥
About Nirvana Shatakam
Nirvana Shatakam is a traditional Hindu hymn composed by Shri Adi Shankaracharya. Shri Adi Shankaracharya walked towards the cave on the banks of Holy river Narmada to meet his Guru Shri Bhagat Govindapada. Upon Shri Adi Shankaracharya’s arrival, his Guru came out of the cave and asked to introduce who he was. This is when Shri Adi Shankaracharya composed and gave the world “Nirvana Shatakam”.
The central theme of the Nirvanaashtakam is the realization of one’s true identity as pure consciousness, without any limitations or attachments. It negates the imaginary world of duality and emphasizes the eternal, blissful nature of the self. By understanding the teachings of the Nirvanaashtakam, one can experience a great sense of freedom and liberation from the constraints of the material world.
The Nirvanaashtakam provides a powerful tool for spiritual seekers. The Ashtakam emphasizes the illusion of the self and the world. By practicing mindfulness, we can become aware of our thoughts and sensations without getting caught up in them. Just as the Ashtakam negates various aspects of the self, we can observe our experiences without labeling them as good or bad.
This masterpiece, also known as the “Song of Liberation,” describes the state of spiritual liberation and the ultimate reality.
Nirvana Shatakam:
- Describes the state of Nirvana, where the individual ego dissolves
- Explores the nature of the Self, beyond human limitations
- Expresses detachment from worldly desires and attachments
- Seeks union with the ultimate reality, Brahman
- Celebrates the freedom from the cycle of birth and death
- Embodies the essence of Advaita Vedanta
The Nirvana Shatakam is a cherished part of Hindu spiritual heritage, often recited and studied by spiritual seekers and scholars.
