Sanskrit Shlokas that every Hindu should preserve and know

Hindu scriptures are written mostly in Sanskrit language. Compilation of Sanskrit words is known as ‘Shloka‘. Bhagwad-Gita, Ramayana, Mahabharat, Rugved, Yajurved are some of the examples of Hindu scriptures written in form of Shlokas. Among all written Shlokas, some are regularly recited by Hindus. I’ve put my efforts here to gather most popular Shlokas that we chant or recite in our daily lives. Some we chanted during our school days as prayers, some are morning Shlokas. Some are dedicated to Gods. At end I’ve also given Namavali (various names) of Lord Vishnu and Lord Ganesha. This is a kind of article that every Hindu should preserve and forward to like-minded.

OM

It’s believed that OM is the powerful mantra to worship GOD.

Strinking the temple’s bell generates OM sound, the same tune we chant OM,

Closing our eyes, taking deep breath and saying OM till all the air is exhausted.

We present all our prayers requests wishes through OM.

  1. Biju Sukumaran says:

    What about the Gayatri Mantra? It’s the oldest, most sacred one!

    oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ
    tat savitur vareṇyaṃ
    bhargo devasya dhīmahi
    dhiyo yo naḥ pracodayāt

    Translation

    Let us adore the supremacy of that Divine Sun, the Godhead, who illuminates all, who recreates all, from whom all proceed, to whom all must return, whom we invoke to direct our understanding aright in our progress towards his holy seat.

    And how ’bout my favorite

    Aum Asato mā sad gamaya
    Tamaso mā jyotir gamaya
    Mṛtyormā amṛtam gamaya

    From ignorance, lead me to truth;
    From darkness, lead me to light;
    From death, lead me to immortality

    Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad 1.3.28

    1. vikas jha says:

      gayatri mantra is a mantra in which we are neither praising a form of god nor we are demanding any thing from god the thing we are urging for is the help we need to enlighten our own conscience.
      translate more shlokas

    2. M G Hegde says:

      very nice…….

      any one explain this shloka… satyena dharyate prithvi satyena tapate ravih|
      satyena pAti vAyuscha sarvam satye pratishthitam

      1. M G Hegde says:

        satyena vaati k

      2. shamsher says:

        As far as I know this verse means the satyena -truth dharyate- to uphold prithvi- the earth ravihi the sun tapate to shine vayuscha sarvam all matter pratishthitam
        honoured or installed. In other words the earth exits because of truth the sun shines becausse of truth{the sun is also a symbol of truth, knowledge and enlightenment} the universe and all matter exit because of truth. Truth brings prestige and honour.

      3. Geethika says:

        The Earth rotates in truth, with truth the Sun blazes, And the air blows with truth, everything is firmly established in truth.

  4. Barefoot Gypsy says:

    I was wondering if you could translate the Acchi Mantra. I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

    Om Sarva Buddha Dakini Hri Mama Sakta Soha

    I would love to know and I stumbled across your blog looking for any who might. I bookmarked your page here so that I could return to reference the other chants and mantras you have here.

    Namaste’

    1. Raksha says:

      The prayer I say every morning before I get off the bed:
      Samudra vasane devi, Parvat stavana mandala
      Vishnudevi namastubhyam, pada sparsha kshamaswa me.
      Vishnudevi sampanee, shankh varna mahi tale.
      Anek Ratna sampane, bhumi devi namoh namah!!
      Translation: I cannot translate completely but before putting foot on the floor asking Mother earth for forgiveness.

      1. shamsher says:

        I thin this verse means Prithvi means earth so this verse is also a prayer to Mata laxmiji laxmijji lives in the ocean she is also supposed to be the daughter of the ocean} the wife of lord vishnu i salute you forgive me for treading on you I don’t remember the meaning of shankh varna mahi tale but i think it means there is knowledge in your depths you have many hidden gems in your depths. Once again the ocean is symbolic of the vast knowledge and also life

  5. Hi Gypsy,

    I will try to find the same through my resources. Will update the same here only if I get to find it.

    1. sahil says:

      om sarvam gyananandamayam aum gurubyo namha plz tel me the meaning….
      nd for wht purpose we chant it????

  6. Barefoot Gypsy says:

    Thankyou! I really appreciate you taking the time to look.

    1. Sanjeev Shukla (from the North of the Vindhyas) says:

      @Barefoot Gypsy,
      1. It is certainly a tantric mantra, but not to please a ghost soul. Dakini, Shakinis, Yakshinis are often worshipped as higher celestial beings (not necessarily benevolent in nature, in fact often with a lower nature or malevolent) who can grant a wishes or accomplishments.
      2. Can you share the mantra in the Sanskrit (Devanagari) script? Some elements would become clearer, since the seed mantras within the mantra itself would get delineated.
      3. More importantly, the meaning of a tantric mantra is immaterial. It is the play of sound syllables triggering different points in the chakras in a repetitive and systematic fashion that creates the effect. Tantric mantra meanings are meaningless, and the true meaning emerges when the mantra purushcharana is completed (purushcharana is the number of repetitions to master the mantra). Then the mystic import of the mantra is gained and also the effect of the mantra is realized.
      4. Vedic Mantras & Pauranic Mantras (as listed above by Devang Vibhakar) are safe to practice. Since this is a tantric mantram, it is not advisable to chant it unless received from a spiritual adept, and better do the sadhana under the guidance of a realized master. If you do not have a Guru or a Master, find one. Or repetitively and with devotion chant simpler mantras till you have an awakening. Preferably also repetitively chant the Kavach (armor) of a deity, which will generate an aura of protection for higher sadhanas. Learn practice of Kavacha and Nyasa from someone (not necessarily a realized soul).
      5. Tantric mantras of the ghora nature, release embedded sanskaras and impressions from your deep subconscious, and it is not easy to face the visualizations and impact on the body (physique), the mind, the emotions and the sexual nature. Be sure what you are setting out to do.

  7. I talked with a person who knows Sanskrit very well and many other shlokas. He doesn’t know perfectly about the roots of this Shloka, but he said that it is a Tantra Shloka, which means that it is used to please a ghost soul or something.

    I will try to get the exact meaning of the same though. Let me find a more scholar person who can translate this shloka correctly.

    1. shreya litoria says:

      i really want to appriciete these slokas

      विद्या नाम नरस्य रूपमधिकं प्रच्छन्नगुप्तं धनम्
      विद्या भोगकरी यशः सुखकरी विद्या गुरूणां गुरुः ।
      विद्या बन्धुजनो विदेशगमने विद्या परं दैवतम्
      विद्या राजसु पूज्यते न हि धनं विद्याविहीनः पशुः ॥

      विद्या इन्सान का विशिष्ट रुप है, गुप्त धन है । वह भोग देनेवाली, यशदात्री, और सुखकारक है । विद्या गुरुओं का गुरु है, विदेश में वह इन्सान की बंधु है । विद्या बडी देवता है; राजाओं में विद्या की पूजा होती है, धन की नहि । इसलिए विद्याविहीन पशु हि है ।
      न चोरहार्यं न च राजहार्यंन
      भ्रातृभाज्यं न च भारकारी ।
      व्यये कृते वर्धते एव नित्यं
      विद्याधनं सर्वधन प्रधानम् ॥

      विद्यारुपी धन को कोई चुरा नहि सकता, राजा ले नहि सकता, भाईयों में उसका भाग नहि होता, उसका भार नहि लगता, (और) खर्च करने से बढता है । सचमुच, विद्यारुप धन सर्वश्रेष्ठ है ।
      ज्ञातिभि र्वण्टयते नैव चोरेणापि न नीयते ।
      दाने नैव क्षयं याति विद्यारत्नं महाधनम् ॥

      यह विद्यारुपी रत्न महान धन है, जिसका वितरण ज्ञातिजनों द्वारा हो नहि सकता, जिसे चोर ले जा नहि सकते, और जिसका दान करने से क्षय नहि होता ।
      सर्वद्रव्येषु विद्यैव द्रव्यमाहुरनुत्तमम् ।
      अहार्यत्वादनर्ध्यत्वादक्षयत्वाच्च सर्वदा ॥

      सब द्रव्यों में विद्यारुपी द्रव्य सर्वोत्तम है, क्यों कि वह किसी से हरा नहि जा सकता; उसका मूल्य नहि हो सकता, और उसका कभी नाश नहि होता ।
      नास्ति विद्यासमो बन्धुर्नास्ति विद्यासमः सुहृत् ।
      नास्ति विद्यासमं वित्तं नास्ति विद्यासमं सुखम् ॥

      विद्या जैसा बंधु नहि, विद्या जैसा मित्र नहि, (और) विद्या जैसा अन्य कोई धन या सुख नहि ।
      सुखार्थिनः कुतोविद्या नास्ति विद्यार्थिनः सुखम् ।
      सुखार्थी वा त्यजेद् विद्यां विद्यार्थी वा त्यजेत् सुखम् ॥

      जिसे सुख की अभिलाषा हो (कष्ट उठाना न हो) उसे विद्या कहाँ से ? और विद्यार्थी को सुख कहाँ से ? सुख की ईच्छा रखनेवाले ने विद्या की आशा छोडनी चाहिए, और विद्यार्थी ने सुख की ।
      दानानां च समस्तानां चत्वार्येतानि भूतले ।
      श्रेष्ठानि कन्यागोभूमिविद्या दानानि सर्वदा ॥

      सब दानों में कन्यादान, गोदान, भूमिदान, और विद्यादान सर्वश्रेष्ठ है ।
      अलसस्य कुतो विद्या अविद्यस्य कुतो धनम् ।
      अधनस्य कुतो मित्रममित्रस्य कुतः सुखम् ॥

      आलसी इन्सान को विद्या कहाँ ? विद्याविहीन को धन कहाँ ? धनविहीन को मित्र कहाँ ? और मित्रविहीन को सुख कहाँ ?
      रूपयौवनसंपन्ना विशाल कुलसम्भवाः ।
      विद्याहीना न शोभन्ते निर्गन्धा इव किंशुकाः ॥

      रुपसंपन्न, यौवनसंपन्न, और चाहे विशाल कुल में पैदा क्यों न हुए हों, पर जो विद्याहीन हों, तो वे सुगंधरहित केसुडे के फूल की भाँति शोभा नहि देते ।
      क्षणशः कणशश्चैव विद्यामर्थं च साधयेत् ।
      क्षणे नष्टे कुतो विद्या कणे नष्टे कुतो धनम् ॥

      एक एक क्षण गवाये बिना विद्या पानी चाहिए; और एक एक कण बचा करके धन ईकट्ठा करना चाहिए । क्षण गवानेवाले को विद्या कहाँ, और कण को क्षुद्र समजनेवाले को धन कहाँ ?
      विद्या नाम नरस्य कीर्तिरतुला भाग्यक्षये चाश्रयो
      धेनुः कामदुधा रतिश्च विरहे नेत्रं तृतीयं च सा ।
      सत्कारायतनं कुलस्य महिमा रत्नैर्विना भूषणम्
      तस्मादन्यमुपेक्ष्य सर्वविषयं विद्याधिकारं कुरु ॥

      विद्या अनुपम कीर्ति है; भाग्य का नाश होने पर वह आश्रय देती है, कामधेनु है, विरह में रति समान है, तीसरा नेत्र है, सत्कार का मंदिर है, कुल-महिमा है, बगैर रत्न का आभूषण है; इस लिए अन्य सब विषयों को छोडकर विद्या का अधिकारी बन ।
      विद्याभ्यास स्तपो ज्ञानमिन्द्रियाणां च संयमः ।
      अहिंसा गुरुसेवा च निःश्रेयसकरं परम् ॥

      विद्याभ्यास, तप, ज्ञान, इंद्रिय-संयम, अहिंसा और गुरुसेवा – ये परम् कल्याणकारक हैं ।
      विद्या ददाति विनयं विनयाद् याति पात्रताम्।
      पात्रत्वाद्धनमाप्नोति धनाद्धर्मं ततः सुखम्॥

      vidyā dadāti vinayaṁ vinayād yāti pātratām|

      Knowledge gives humility, from humility, one attains character; From character, one acquires wealth; from wealth good deeds (righteousness) follow and then happiness

    guru mantra
    om ajnana timirandhasya jnananjana salakaya
    caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri gurave namah
    I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, who has opened my eyes, blinded by the darkness of ignorance, with the torchlight of knowledge.

    hare krishna maha mantra
    krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare
    hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare

    sri panca tattva maha mantra
    jaya sri krishna caitanya prabhu nityananda
    sri adaita gadadgara srivasadi gaura bhakti vrnda

    Mantra to Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu
    namo maha vadanyaya krishna prema pradaya te
    krsnaya krsna caitanya namne gaura tvise namah
    I offer my respectful obeisances unto the Supreme LordSri Krsna Caitanya, who is more magnanimous than any other avatara, even Krsna Himself, because He is bestowing freely what no one else has ever given-pure love of Krsna.

    sri krsna pranama
    he krsna karuna ssimdhu dina bandhu jagat pate
    gopesha gopika kanta radha kanta namo stu te
    O my dear Krsna, You are the friend of the distressed and the source of creation. You are the master of the gopis, and the lover of Radharani. I offer my respectful obeisances unto You.

    sri isopanisad invocation
    om purnam adah purnam idam purnat purnam udacyate
    purnasya purnam adaya purnam eva vasisyate
    The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete, and because He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete wholes. Whatever is produced of the Complete Whole is also complete in itself. Because He is the Complete Whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance.

    prayers to Krishna by Queen Kunti
    krsnaya vasudevaya devaki nandanaya ca
    nanda gopa kumaraya govindaya namo namah
    Let me therefore offer my respectful obeisances unto the Lord, who has become the son of Vasudeva, the pleasure of Devaki, the boy of Nanda and the other cowherd men of Vrndävana, and the enlivener of the cows and the senses.
    Srimad Bhagavatam, 1.8.21

    prayers to Krishna by Queen Kunti
    namah pankaja nabhaya namah pankaja maline
    nama pankaja netraya namas te pankajanghraye
    My respectful obeisances are unto You, O Lord, whose abdomen is marked with a depression like a lotus flower, who are always decorated with garlands of lotus flowers, whose glance is as cool as the lotus and whose feet are engraved with lotuses.
    Srimad Bhagavatam, 1.8.22

    prayer to brahmanas, cows, brahminical culture, and Govinda, the protector of these
    namo brahmanya devaya go brahmanya hitaya ca
    jagad dhitaya krsnaya govindaya namo namah
    Visnu Purana 1.19.65
    “I offer my respectful obeisances to the Supreme Absolute Truth, Kåñëa, who is the well-wisher of the cows and the brähmaëas as well as the living entities in general. I offer my repeated obeisances to Govinda, who is the pleasure reservoir for all the senses.”

    prayer to the vaisnavas
    vanca kalpa tarubhyas ca krpa sindhubhya eva ca
    patitanam pavanebhyo vaisnavebho namo namah
    I offer my respectful obeisances unto all the Vaiñëava devotees of the Lord. They are just like desire trees who can fulfill the desires of everyone. They are oceans of mercy and are the purifiers of the fallen souls.

    1. Thakur das says:

      I have over the years gotten into the intentional habit of chanting the prayer to the vaisnavas before I start a bhajan, if only silently to myself. Followed by obeisances to my spiritual master. Only by the mercy of the devotee does one ever have the opportunity to associate with Gurudeva, and only by Gurudeva’s mercy can one ever approach KRSNA in humility and tolerance (more humble than a blade of grass, more tolerant then a tree)

  14. Naveen says:

    Good article on Slokas to recite daily by every Hindu.

  15. Mukund says:

    It’s very interesting.
    But the irony is Now-a-days even parents don’t follow such rituals. How they could teach their kids.
    Isn’t ?
    Keep it up.

      May I be allowed to add to this.
      Om has AUM hidden in it, which relates to the trinity BRAHMA VISHNU MAHESWARA. It is the biginning and end of our existence on earth. So it has to be powerful.

      1. True. OM is quite a powerful word. You would find this post useful: https://www.speakbindas.com/meaning-of-word-om/

      Mr. Vatsal Yajnik has responded to your query. You can read the details response at Kaal Sarpa Vedic Mantra

      Hope, this helps.

    2. vasudevan says:

      It is a prayer and namaskarams to all kinds of snakes(‘sarpas’).
      The first three lines which comes in udagasanthi is reproduced below.
      namo ‘stu sarpebhyo ye ke ca pṛthivīmanu | ye ‘ntarikṣe ye divi
      tebhyaḥ sarpebhyo namaḥ || 1 ||
      ye ‘dorocane divo ye vā sūryasya raśmiṣu | yeṣāmapsuṣadaḥ krutaṁ
      tebhyaḥ sarpebhyo namaḥ || 2 ||
      yā iṣavo yātudhānānāṁ ye vā vanaspatīranu | ye vā vaṭeṣu śerate
      tebhyaḥ sarpebhyo namaḥ || 3 ||

      It is taken from Yajur veda samhita 4-2-8.

      There are other 8 lines starting with ‘idagum sarpepyo..’ taken from Nakshtra suktam relating to star ‘aslesha’. It is separately recited on birth star occasion
      of people born on star ‘Aslesha (ayilyam).

      There are other 8 lines starting with ‘ nigrushvai..’ taken from surya namaskaram panchAti 58. It is mainly in praise of Devendra but the last line ending with
      ‘subramanyom..subramanyom..subramanyom’ is construed is divine arthi to
      Lord subramania.
      All these constitute sarpasuktam. There are other types of sarpa suktam also.
      I am having audio for the above but do not how to add the audio clip here.

    Please send me this shloka as I have only an incomplete version. It begins like this

    I found your site very helpful and illuminating. Keep up
    God’s work!!!!

  48. Vasudevan says:

    The heading for “shuklambaram..” is given as Ganesha Shloka is not correct. The heading Ganesha mantra is to be given to the next sloka/mantra “Sri Vakratunda Mahakaaya”. The Meaning for vignapo is not vigneshwara it should be read as sarva vigna upa sandhyae meaning removing obstacles in the way.

  60. Vatsal says:

    Dear Mr. Devang,
    wonderful job being done. Since every assignment has the prospects of improvement, i would like to suggest the following format, which i am using for my grand daughter. If you like it, willing to help as much as i can. e.g.

    Shlok in Devnagari script
    कराग्रे वसते लक्ष्मीः कर मध्ये सरस्वती |
    करमूले स्थितो ब्रह्मा प्रभाते कर दर्शनम् ||
    Transliteration in English
    Karagre vasate laxmihi, kara madhye saraswati
    Kara moole shtito brahma , prabhate kar darshnam.

    English Translation
    Goddess Laxmi, the goddess of Wealth on the tip of my fingers,
    Goddess Sarawati, the goddess of Knowledge in the center of my palm,
    Lord Brahma, the creator at the wrist,
    the embodiment of prosperity, dexterity & creativity respectively
    Help my hands to be put to the best use during the day.

    Hindi Translation :
    मेरे दोनों हाथो की उंगलीयों पर लक्ष्मीजी , हाथों की हथेली के बीचमे सरस्वतीजी और कलाई पर ब्रह्माजी, जो संपत्ति , विद्वत्ता और नवनिर्माण करनेकी शक्ति देनेवाले है , उन्हें हाथ जोड़कर प्रणाम करके प्रार्थना करता हूँ की दिनभर ये मेरे दोनों हाथ अच्छे कर्मोमे लगे रहे.

    Audio : to be incorporated if possible

    This format gives a complete picture for self study and will become very useful in the long run. Translations in additional languages can be added to increase its reach around the world.

    1. Hello Vatsal,

      Format suggested by you is very user friendly. Gives a clear cut understanding of the shloka.

      Definitely, I would love to receive your help. In fact, I would invite you to make a collection of such shlokas and I will be happy to publish that article under your name only on SpeakBindas. You can think of including some popular shlokas(other than which are already listed in this post).

      Let me know what you think.

    2. Vijayalakshmi Menon says:

      The shloka “Karaagre vasate Lakshmi” is recited by different variations,thus:

      “Karaagre vasate Lakshmi, Karamadhye Saraswati,
      Karamoole sthita Gowri, Prabhate karadarshanam.

      Vaishnavites recite:”Karamoole tu Govinda, Prabhate karadarshanam.”

  61. vatsal says:

    Some one asked for shlok on Ram : an attempt is made hereunder.

    एक श्लोकी रामायणम्|

    आदौ रामतपोवनाभिगमनम् हत्वा मृगं काञ्चनं
    वैदेहीहरणं जटायुमरणं सुग्रीवसंभाषणम् |
    वालीनिग्रहणं समुद्रतरणं लंकापुरीदाहनं
    पश्चात् रावणकुंभकर्ण हननं एतद्धिरामायणम् ||

    EK SHLOKI RAMAYANAM
    Aadau Ram tapovanaabhi gamanam, hatva mrugam kaanchanam,
    Vaidehi haranam, jatayu maranam ,sugreev sambhaashanam,
    Vali nigrahnam, samudra taranam, lankapuri daahanam,
    paschyaat , ravan kumbhakaran hananam, e tad hi Ramayanam

    Sampoorna Ramayan in One shlok
    In the beginning, starting with Rama’s forest-exile,
    killing of the golden deer, abduction of Sita Devi,
    death of Jataayu, frienship with Sugriiva, killing of
    Vaali, crossing of the ocean, burning of Lankaa and after
    that killing of RavaNa and KumbhakarNa – this is the story
    (aphorism) of Ramayana

    शुरुआतसे राम का वनवास, सुवर्ण मृगकी हत्या
    सीता देवीका अपहरण , जटायु की मृत्यु , सुग्रीवसे दोस्ती,
    वालीकी हत्या, समुद्र को लांघना , लंका को जलाके
    रावण और कुंभकर्ण का विनाश करना – येही है रामायण की कथा
