Nirvana Shatakam
Nirvana Shatakam, also known as Atma Shatakam, is a famous Sanskrit poem composed by the philosopher and saint Adi Shankaracharya. It consists of six verses that express the essence of non-dualism and the realization of the self. The poem emphasizes the idea that the true self, or Atman, is beyond physical existence and worldly attachments.
In the verses, Shankaracharya articulates the distinction between the eternal self and the transient nature of the body and mind. The work serves as a profound meditation on self-identity, encouraging readers to recognize their inherent divinity and unity with the universe.
