Sarve Santu Niramayah

'Sarve Santu Niramayah' loosely translates to 'May all stay healthy; free from disease'.

This one is an excellent phrase that can help deal with life's problems as when you put out a good wish into the Universe, the same good energy comes back to you. When you wish not just for individual health and happiness, but for 'all', you send out positivity into the Universe which finds its way back to you in some or the other form. And if you are going through a hard time right now, and praying not just for yourself but for everybody, very soon the Universe will conspire to make things right for you.

Sanskrit affirmations and motivations

Sanskrit is one of the oldest, most polite, and most beautiful languages in the world. Be it the writing, or the pronunciation, the flow and flair of Sanskrit are unmatched. And so, if you are someone who is looking for helpful phrases in Sanskrit, or words of affirmations that will help you, or even if you are just looking for some quick motivation to deal with the ups and downs of life, here we mention 5 Sanskrit phrases that will do just the job.


3/8

​Anugachhati Pravah

The first phrase ‘Anugachhati Pravah’ translates to ‘Go with the flow’. It talks about the importance of flowing with life’s situation and currents rather than resisting them, which usually leads to a more intense blow. It tries to tell people a very simple thing - embrace the change, and remember that you will never be stuck. The flow can be positive and give you wealth, fame, and happiness, and eventually get negative as you face a few losses.
But, remember that no situation is permanent, and when you go with the flow, you deal with the difficulties better.

4/8

​Ishwar Asti Mam Shakti

Another beautiful phrase with a simple meaning, this one translates to - God is my strength.
In times both difficult and easy, it is God who helps you sail through life. Be it the happiness you feel after achieving a promotion or the sadness that consumes you during difficult days, at the end humans always turn to God. Be it in the form of Lord Shiva, Maa Durga, Christ, Mary, or any other God, to believe that God is your strength is the ultimate acceptance of all in life.

5/8

​Na Kadapi Khanditah


Na Kadapi Khanditah translates to ‘Never broken, never defeated’.

And this phrase explains itself in many different ways. It is a reminder of our inner strength, it is an assurance that ‘I am powerful’, it is a way to regain your senses, and most of all, it is like an affirmation that will always remind you of your power, your spirit, and your undefeatable nature.

Life often tests us with things that feel neverending. Sometimes sadness seems to take all our energy and emotions that well up our hearts. But this phrase encourages us to remember that our inner essence, and who we are, will always be strong.

6/8

​Aham Asmi Sampoornam

A beautiful and simple phrase, this one means ‘I am whole and complete’.
This is not just a phrase to deal with life’s challenges, but also the perfect affirmation to chant to yourself every day. It is a reminder that we are whole and complete in ourselves, lacking nothing and that all we need to face life’s challenges is the power we have within us.
In a time where external validation fuels people, and not receiving any makes them feel unimportant in public setting, this simple affirmation can help them see themselves in a better light.

7/8

​Yat Bhaavo, Tat Bhavati

Another simple phrase that can help people ‘wing it’ with life is this one. It loosely translates to ‘what you think, is what happens’ and helps people think better, more positively, and paint things in their head in a good light.
This particular phrase is the best example of the ‘Law of attraction’. What you think, what you feel, and what you manifest in your subconscious, is what happens in real life and what the Universe gives you.

8/8

Antah Asti Prarambh

'Antah Asti Prarambh' loosely translates to 'The end is also the beginning'.

Often in life people are plagued with stress, worry, and fear and they are afraid of things ending. It could be a relationship, a contract, a business partnership, or the likes. The fear of something ending is so powerful over us that we do everything possible to change that possibility. But honestly, we need to remember that at every end, there is hope for a new possibility. And is the situation is ending owing to a negative sight, its end will soon blossom into the most beautiful beginning.
