Excellent Sanskrit affirmations

Sanskrit is finally reclaiming itself, and people cannot stop being in awe and wonder of the beautiful language it is. From tattoos to early morning affirmations, Sanskrit has become a part of life for many people once again, and why would it not be? The beautiful diction, the rhythm of the chant, the words that simply mesmerise people, and so much more have helped people reconnect with Sanskrit in modern days.
And so here we mention 5 Sanskrit phrases that work as excellent early morning confidence boosters.


2/7

Ishwar Asti Mam Shakti

A beautiful Sanskrit phrase that can instantly boost people’s confidence when said like an affirmation is this one. ‘ईश्वर अस्ति मम शक्ति’ means ‘God is my only strength’ and for believers, this phrase acts like a dose of confidence.
It is simple but moving, and is like a reminder to people that the divine powers are with them, in their favour, and that they are not alone in tough times.
So whenever you feel alone in difficult situations or feel like the world has lost its belief in you, this is the phrase to tell yourself.


3/7

Anugacchatu Pravaha

Another beautiful phrase, ‘अनुगच्छतु प्रवाहः’ means ‘Go with the flow’. This too can be chanted as an affirmation or simply as a reminder in life that not everything will stay as is, even the bad days and times.
If you find yourself stressed about planning a certain event, what result will come out of it, or even how things are not in your control, just tell yourself to go with the flow, and soon things will be better.


4/7

Uddhared Atmanatmanam

Another excellent phrase and affirmation, ‘उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं’ means ‘A person shall only lift themselves with their own help’ or ‘Let a person lift oneself by oneself’. It is a powerful line from the Bhagwad Gita, and talks about how important self-effort and inner discipline is in life. It tells people that only you are responsible for your growth or even the downfalls, and from happiness to success, it is all your doing.
So whenever you face a difficult situation in life, remember that only you can ultimately save yourself.


5/7

Svayameva Mrgendrata

A difficult to pronounce affirmation, ‘स्वयमेव मृगेन्द्रता’ means ‘A leader is a leader by his own virtue’ and is often defined as ‘A lion is the king by his own virtue or strength’.
It is a rather motivational phrase that urges people to look within themselves for support and strength, and tells them that instead of thriving on validation from others or waiting for someone to crown you the king, assert it and live like one.


6/7

Sa vidya Ya vimuktaye

Another amazing affirmation, ‘सा विद्या या विमुक्तये’ means ‘True knowledge liberates a human’, and this can boost the confidence of people who are full of wisdom but cannot achieve in life due to circumstances. It tells them that learning is not just for acquiring information, but also for inner freedom, and with real wisdom and education, you will be able to let go of the fear of ignorance, failure, and even shrug off the false beliefs about life.


7/7

Aatmanam Vidhi

'Atmanam Vidhi' is a beautiful Sanskrit phrase that means 'Know thy self' or 'Understand yourself'. Understanding and applying this philosophy to life helps people gain confidence in everyday matters as it helps you know about yourself, your greatest strengths and weaknesses, and even what your ultimate purpose in life is.
