Sanskrit affirmations

Sanskrit is a beautiful language and has forever been known for the wonderful way in which it conveys and expresses the ‘bhav’. Although a little difficult to pronounce for some, there is a certain eloquence in the diction and speech of the Sanskrit language that made it persevere through times. And although the Sanskrit-speaking groups are a minority, more and more people are now getting attracted to the language. Be it tattoos or early morning affirmations, Sanskrit is regaining its glory.

And so, here we mention 5 Sanskrit quotes that are amazing early-morning affirmations.


2/9

प्रज्ञानेत्रो लोकः

A beautiful Sanskrit affirmation, ‘Pragyanetro Lokah’ can be translated to ‘wisdom is the eye of the world’. And while it speaks of a big group, a community, and the world to say, it is also a brilliant personal affirmation that helps people realise the importance of the guiding light within them.
It tells people that just like our eyes help us see the world around us, it is our wisdom that helps us see the deeper truths of life, and the world, and thus it is important to develop inner wisdom to see the world as is.


3/9

धीराणां निश्चलम् मनः

Another beautiful Sanskrit affirmation, ‘Dhiranam Nishchalam Manah’ means ‘the mind of the wise man is always steady’. This is an excellent affirmation for people who are often displeasured with life and have to regularly face the uncertainties that trouble them.
It is a reminder that although difficulties are inevitable for any human, a strong and steady mind will help in overcoming those without fear or panic.


4/9

यत् भ|वो तत् भवति

An affirmation that is much needed for all the tired, troubled, and anxious souls is this one. ‘Yat Bhaavo Tat Bhavti’ means ‘what you feel, is what ends up happening’.
This phrase is a reminder that it is best to always think and feel positively about the situation because what we think is what we attract, what we attract becomes what we become. It is a reminder that no matter how soul-shattering the situation might feel like, it is important to have an internal voice that just does not give up.


5/9

ईश्वर अस्ति मम शक्ति


A phrase that Arjuna must have used during the Mahabharat war is this one. A powerful affirmation that can fill people with confidence is ‘Ishwar Asti Mam Shakti’. This Sanskrit phrase means ‘God is my strength’ and is perfect for people who feel like they do not have enough support in life.


6/9

न कदापि खण्डितः


An excellent affirmation for people who feel weak because of the stones life has been throwing at them is ‘Na Kadapi Khanditah’. This affirmation means ‘I am never broken’ and it shows the warrior spirit that we all have inside us, waiting to be ignited.

When you say this affirmation everyday, in your subconscious a little bulb of light starts to flicker that will give you immense power and confidence to go on with your life. And it is an assurance that no matter how difficult life gets, we are never truly broken.


7/9

Bonus: Anandah Hum

Another amazing phrase that will work as the perfect affirmation is this one. It simply means that 'I am happiness' and is a reminder to people of the joy that they hold within, and how happiness does not have to be chased, but just found. And when you believe in your happiness and are happy through the ups and downs, good luck in life follows.

8/9

अहम् अस्मि सम्पूर्णम्

Another beautiful Sanskrit phrase that works as the perfect affirmation is 'Aham Asmi Sampoornam', which means 'I am whole and complete in myself'. This affirmation does not just help build self confidence but also helps deal with life's challenges. It is a reminder to people that they are whole in themselves, and their abilities are second to none, and all they need in life is to realise that they are enough.

9/9

सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः

A phrase that is a part of a famous mantra is 'Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah' which means 'May all beings be happy'. When someone repeats and chants this as a morning affirmation, they set the powerful intention in their heart and mind to treat everyone with kindness and love, and spread positivity around them. And as the law of attraction says that everything that goes along, comes along, the same feelings of kindness, empathy, and love are directed to the person.
