about

Written around 788-820 CE by Adi Shankarãchãrya, the ancient shlokã or song shivoham summarizes the basic teachings of ‘Advaita Vedãntã’ – the Hindu teachings of non-dualism. a story says that when the young Shankar, seeking his guru in himãlayãs, encountered a sage who asked him, “who are you?”, the boy answered with these verses which are known as ‘Nirvãna Shatakam.’ They are actually a declaration of his own direct and intimate experience of the absolute bliss of self-realisation.
As such, this is not a text to be explained; they are actually sacred words to be meditated upon and experienced by every sincere seeker.

lyrics

Mano budhya ahankaar chittah ni naham
Na 'ch shotra jeeveh na 'ch ghraan netrey
Na 'chavyo m bhumi are na tejo na vaayu
Chid-a-anand roopah shivoham shivoham

Na 'chpraan sangyo, na vey panch vaayu,
Na vah sapt dhaaatu are, na vah pancha' kosh'a
Na vat pani paado, na chopastha paayu,
Chid-a-anand roopah shivoham shivoham

Na meh dwesh raago, na meh lobh-moh
Mado nai-v-meh nahi-v-maatsarya bhaav'h
Na dharmo na chartho na kaamo na moksha
Chid-a-anand roopah shivoham shivoham

Na punyam na papam, na sokhyam na dukhyam
Na mantro na teertham, na veda na yagya
Aham bhojnam nai va bhojyam na bhogta
Chid-a-anand roopah shivoham shivoham

Na meh mrityu shanka, na meh jaati bheda
Pita nahi va meh nai-v-mata na janma
Na bandhu 'are mitram, guru nai va shishya
Chid-a-anand roopah shivoham shivoham

Aham nirvikalpo niraakaar roopoh,
Vibhur-vyaapya sarvatra sarve-indrayaanee
Sadaa mein samatvam, na mukti na bandh
Chid-a-anand roopah shivoham shivoham
