ಮೂಲ & ಕಥೆ

Devotional composition of Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra · Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra Saraswati · 18th century CE

Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra was a celebrated Avadhuta and Advaita master who lived as a wandering, often silent, God-intoxicated sage near Nerur in Tamil Nadu. His Sanskrit compositions, sung to this day in the Carnatic tradition, pour out the bliss of Self-realisation. In 'Bho Shambho' he calls upon Shiva at once as the tender, Ganga-bearing saviour who carries the devotee across the sea of birth and death, and as the attributeless Supreme Self shining within the cave of the heart — the goal of his own Advaitic realisation.

ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ

Many stories surround Sadashiva Brahmendra's miraculous life as a silent avadhuta — it is said his hands, severed by a soldier when he wandered naked in samadhi, were restored when the king begged his forgiveness. Devotees believe that singing his Shiva songs like 'Bho Shambho' carries something of that saint's liberated bliss, calming the mind and turning it toward the Self.

ಉತ್ತಮ ಸಮಯEarly morning meditation, evening bhajan, Mondays and Pradosha Kaal

Sing or chant the refrain 'Bho Shambho Shiva Shambho Svayambho' between each verse, letting it become a steady, joyful repetition. Reflect on the two moods of the hymn: first the loving cry to the compassionate Lord who saves us, then the contemplation of Shiva as the formless, blissful Self within the heart. It may be sung melodically as a kirtan or recited softly as a meditation. There is no fixed count — repeat with devotion as long as the heart wishes.

ಈ ಪುಟದಲ್ಲಿ ಪೂರ್ಣ Bho Shambho Shiva Shambho Swayambho ಕನ್ನಡ ಲಿಪಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇದೆ — ಅವೇ ಮೂಲ ಶ್ಲೋಕಗಳು, ಅಕ್ಷರ-ಅಕ್ಷರ ಲಿಪ್ಯಂತರಗೊಂಡು, ನೀವು ಸುಲಭವಾಗಿ ಓದಿ ಪಠಿಸಬಹುದು. ಯಾವುದೇ ಸಾಲನ್ನು (ಅಥವಾ ▶ ಬಟನ್) ಒತ್ತಿ ಅದರ ಪಠಣ ಕೇಳಿ.
ಹೌದು — ಲಿಪಿ ಮಾತ್ರ ಬದಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ; ಪದಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಅವುಗಳ ಅರ್ಥ ಮೂಲವೇ. ಈ ಪುಟದ ಶ್ಲೋಕ-ಶ್ಲೋಕ ಅರ್ಥ, ಪ್ರಯೋಜನಗಳು, ಪಾರಾಯಣ ವಿಧಿ ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಅನ್ವಯಿಸುತ್ತವೆ.
It is traditionally attributed to Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra (18th century CE), a great Avadhuta saint, Advaita Vedantin and composer from Tamil Nadu, renowned for his ecstatic, deeply philosophical Sanskrit songs such as 'Manasa Sancharare' and 'Khelati Mama Hridaye'.
'Svayambhu' means 'self-existent' or 'self-born' — that which exists by its own nature, uncreated and dependent on nothing else. It points to Shiva as the ultimate, self-existent Reality (Brahman).
It is beautifully both. The opening verse is full of loving devotion to the Ganga-bearing, compassionate Shiva, while the later verses describe him as Nirguna Brahman — attributeless, sky-like, infinite and blissful — making it a perfect union of bhakti and Advaita jnana.
It is widely sung as a Carnatic music kriti, with the refrain 'Bho Shambho' recurring between verses. It is equally suited to group bhajan singing and to quiet personal meditation on Shiva.
