 Nirvana Shatkam By Adi Sankaracharya


Mano budhyahankara chithaa ninaham,
Na cha srothra jihwe na cha graana nethrer,
Na cha vyoma bhoomir na thejo na vayu,
Chidananada Roopa Shivoham, Shivoham.




I am not mind, nor intellect, nor ego,
nor the chitta.
I am not the five senses.
I am beyond that.
I am not the ether, nor the earth,
nor the fire, nor the wind (the five elements).
I am indeed, Shiva -Eternal Existence, Consciousness and bliss.

Na cha praana sangno na vai pancha vaayuh,
Na vaa saptha dhathur na va pancha kosa,
Na vak pani padam na chopastha payu,
Chidananada Roopa Shivoham, Shivoham.



Neither can I be termed as energy (prana),
nor five types of breath (vayus),
nor the seven material essences (
dhathus),
nor the five coverings (pancha-kosha) .
Neither am I the five instruments of elimination,
procreation, motion, grasping, or speaking.
I am indeed, Shiva -Eternal Existence, Consciousness and bliss.


Na me dwesha raghou na me lobha mohou,
Madho naiva me naiva matsarya bhava,
Na dharmo na cha artha na kamo na moksha,
Chidananada Roopa Shivoham, Shivoham.



I have no hatred or dislike,
nor affiliation or liking,
nor greed, nor delusion,
nor pride or haughtiness,
nor feelings of envy or jealousy.
I have no duty (dharma),
nor any money, nor any desire (kama),
nor even liberation (moksha).
I am indeed, Shiva -Eternal Existence, Consciousness and bliss.

Na punyam na paapam na soukhyam na dukham,
Na manthro na theertham na veda na yagna,
Aham bhojanam naiva bhojyam na bhoktha,
Chidananada Roopa Shivoham, Shivoham.



I have neither merit (virtue), nor demerit (vice).
I do not commit sins or good deeds,
nor have happiness or sorrow, pain or pleasure.
I do not need mantras, holy places,
scriptures (Vedas), rituals or sacrifices (yagnas).
I am none of the triad of the observer
 or one who experiences,
the process of observing or experiencing,
or any object being observed or experienced.
I am indeed, Shiva -Eternal Existence, Consciousness and bliss.

Na mruthyur na sankha na me jathi bhedha,
Pitha naiva me naiva matha na janma,
Na bhandhur na mithram gurur naiva sishyah,
Chidananada Roopa Shivoham, Shivoham.



I do not have fear of death, as I do not have death.
I have no separation from my true self,
no doubt about my existence,
nor have I discrimination on the basis of birth.
I have no father or mother, nor did I have a birth.
I am not the relative, nor the friend,
nor the guru, nor the disciple.
I am indeed, Shiva -Eternal Existence, Consciousness and bliss.

Aham nirvi kalpo nirakara roopo,
Vibhuthwascha sarvathra sarvendriyanaam,
Na chaa sangatham naiva mukthir na meyah
Chidananada Roopa Shivoham, Shivoham.



 I am all pervasive.
I am without any attributes,
and without any form.
I have neither attachment to the world,
nor to liberation (mukti).
I have no wishes for anything, because I am everything,
everywhere, every time, always in equilibrium.
I am indeed, Shiva -Eternal Existence, Consciousness and bliss.
