Athma Panchakam of Adi Sankaracharya

                      
World is mind play, like dream !!

I am ATHMA & not body !!

ATHMA IS SATHYA (REAL) & SATH, CHITH, ANANDA !!

ATHMA IS WITNESS TO THE THREE STATES OF WAKING,DREAM & DEEP SLEEP

I AM SHIVA--ETERNAL,UNATTACHED,SINGLE,PURE,JNANA & COMPLETE

I  AM FAR FAR AWAY FROM WIFE, SON, LANDS AND ASSETS.

I WAS NOT BORN, I AM NOT PRANA, MIND, DOER. 

Sri Shankaracharya Bhgavathpada                     

Adi Sankaracharya's Atma Panchakam



Naham deho, nendriya nyantharangam, 
Prana Nahamkara vargaa and budhi, 
Darapathya kshethra vithadhi dhoora, 
Sakshi nithya prathyagathma shivoham. 1


I am neither the body, nor the senses nor the mind,
Neither am I pride, prana nor intellect,
But I am Shiva, who is eternal,
Who is completely unattached.
Who is far, far and far away
From wife, son, lands and assets,

And is the witness for everything.


Rajjwagnanath bhathi rajjuryadhai, 
Swathma jnanad athmano jeeva bhava, 
Aapthokthya sa hi branthinase rajjur, 
Jjevo naham desikokthya shivoham. 2

Due to ignorance I think that a rope is a snake, 
For due to absence of Jnana. 
I ascribe life in to lifeless thing. 
And when the realized one points it out, 
I wake up from this illusion, 
And understand that it is a rope and not a snake. 
Similarly I am not the jeeva but Shiva, 
Which I only understand by the teaching of the great teacher
.

Aabhadhedham vishwamathmanya sathyam, 
Sathya jnanananda roope vimohat, 
Nidhramohat swapnavath thanna sathyam, 
Shuddha poorno nithya Shivoham acres. 3


Due to the veil of ignorance,
I see this world in the eternal life,
Which has the form of truth and joy,
Similar to the dream which I see due to veil of sleep,
For I am the pure complete, perennial and single Shiva.


Thi nanyath kinchid athrasthi viswam, 
Sathyam bahyam mayopakjnaptham vasthu, 
Adarsandhar bhasamanasya thulyam, 
Mayyadwaithe bhathi thasmad shivoham. 4


This world is in no way different from me, 
Similar to everything getting reflected in a mirror, 
All the world is within me, 
So I am that Shiva which is without two.


Naham jatho and pravrudho and nashto, 
Dehasyoktha prakrutha sarva dharma, 
Karthruthwadhi schinmaya syasthi naham, 
Karasyaiva hyathmano may Shivoham. 5


Nor was I born nor grew nor die,
For birth, growth and death are for the body,
The nature of taking up a work is,
The reflections of pride and not,
For my soul which is eternal,
And so I am the unattached Shiva.


Naham jatho janma mruthyu tho may, 
Naham Prana may kshuth pipase tho, 
tho sokamohou may Naham Witham, 
Naham kartha Bandha may mokshou tho. 6


I was not born, whence birth and death came to me, 
I am not the prana, whence came hunger and thirst to me, 
I am not the mind, whence came passion and sorrow to me, 
I am not the doer, whence came attachment and detachment to me?
