The Six Stanzas of Nirvana (Salvation): By Adi Guru Shankaracharya
neelkanth, lord shiva
Lord Shiva - Who Drank The poison during the Samudra Manthan (Churning of The Ocean) and was called Neelkanth (One with a blue neck)

  1. I am neither the mind ,intelligence, ego nor chitta (seat of memory); neither the ears nor the tongue nor the senses of smell and sight; neither ether nor air ,nor fire, nor water, nor earth-I am eternal bliss and awareness - I am Siva! I am Siva.

    !!!! The Gayatri Mantra and the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra are the two Mahamantras !!!!

  2. I am neither the prana (vital force), nor the five vital breaths, neither the seven elements of the body, not its five sheaths, nor hands, nor feet, nor tongue, nor other organs of action. I am eternal, bliss and awareness - I am Siva!  I am Siva.

  3. Neither greed nor delusion, nor loathing, nor liking have I, nothing of pride or ego, neither of dharma or object, nor of desire or liberation. I am eternal, bliss and awareness - I am Siva! I am Siva.

  4. Nothing of pleasure or pain or virtue or vice do I know, of mantra or sacred place, of Vedas or sacrifice; neither am I the eater, nor the food nor the act of eating. I am the eternal bliss and awareness - I am Siva! I am Siva.

    !!!! Worship of Shiva leads to peace and Calm !!!!

  5. Death or fear have I none, nor any distinction of race or color, neither father nor mother, nor even birth have I; neither friend nor comrade, neither disciple nor Guru (Teacher). I am the eternal bliss and awareness - I am Siva! I am Siva.

  6. I have no form or fancy, the all pervading am I; everywhere I exist, yet am beyond the senses; neither salvation am I, nor anything to be known. I am eternal, bliss and awareness - I am Siva!  I am Siva.

!!!! Shiva is not only the Destroyer-He is the Renovator also !!!!

One of the greatest philosopher of all times these are few tenets said by the Adi Guru that a individual should keep repeating to oneself. Shiva is the all powerful yogi and occupies the highest position in the Hindu trinity of Gods. Shiva symbolises supreme control over the senses and salvation is nothing but acquiring Shiva hood.
