The Atmashatkam (आत्मषट्कम्, ātmaṣatkam), also known as Nirvanashatkam (निर्वाणषट्कम्, Nirvāṇaṣatkam),[1] is a devotional composition consisting of 6 verses or ślokas (and hence the name Șaṭ-ka to mean six-verses) in Sanskrit, written by the Hindu philosopher Adi Shankara summarizing the basic teachings of Advaita Vedanta, or the Hindu teachings of non-dualism. It was written around 788-820 CE. It is said that when Ādi Śaṅkara was a young boy of eight and wandering near River Narmada, seeking to find his guru, he encountered the seer Govinda Bhagavatpada who asked him, "Who are you?". The boy answered with these stanzas, which are known as "Nirvāṇa Shatkam" or Ātma Shatkam". Swami Govindapada accepted Ādi Śaṅkara as his disciple. The verses are said to be valued to progress in contemplation practices that lead to Self-Realization. "Nirvāṇa" is complete equanimity, peace, tranquility, freedom and joy. "Ātma" is the True Self. மனோ புத்தி அஹங்கார சித்தா நினாஹம், நச ஸ்ரோத்ர ஜிஹ்வே நச க்ஹ்ராண நேத்ரே | நச வ்யோம பூமிர் ந தேஜோ ந வாயு, சித்தானந்தா ரூப ஷிவோஹம் ஷிவோஹம் || 1) I am not mind, nor intellect, nor ego, nor the reflections of inner self (citta).

I watch this video or rather listen every morning, I try not not to miss it unless I am travelling. It is like a morning prayer 🙏for me. I feel good after that.
What a perfect and soulful rendition ❤. All the short and long vowels are perfectly pronounced without unnecessarily elongating in the name of expression but still providing the right expression.
Thanks to you for such a beautiful rendition. You have a divine voice 🙏🙏🙏 . With such a profound meaning and your mesmerizing voice it is so addicting, I keep listening to it many times a day.
Sung with inner most feelings that are pure. Even the one who does not understand sanskrit and its meaning gets spell bound. One can feel true peace inside. Om nama shivaya
This is the best way of singing nirvana shatakam i even seen.. involvement enjoying the divinity. I request the singer to sing the song again with interchanges lines in 3 line. Please i request
Love her singing, but she has replaced the 3rd line in the first verse with the 3rd line of the second verse. I wonder whether she can sing again swapping the lines, as the originally written verses.
Some one has sent this video long time and the name was SUCHITA PRADAD. I checked SMITA RAO you tube channel. The face is not the same. May be Mr. Patel can clarify, where did he uploaded this from. I will be happy to know who she is and are there any more videos of her.
यु ट्यूब वरती भरपूर जणांनी हे गाणं गायलं आहे पण आपल्या गायना चे शब्द हृदय स्पर्शआहे ते खूप खोल आहे ...जय श्री नवनाथ 🙏🏻💫🙇
Such a spiritual voice, & calm ethereal expression, God bless her.
