ઉત્પત્તિ અને કથા
Shukla Yajurveda, Vajasaneyi Samhita, Chapter 34, mantras 1–6 · Vedic seers (apaurusheya — revealed scripture) · Vedic period (ancient)
The Shiva Sankalpa Suktam stands at the opening of the 34th chapter of the Shukla Yajurveda. Unlike most hymns that praise a deity, this rare and profound suktam is a prayer directed to the mind itself — recognising it as the subtle, far-ranging power behind all perception, action and worship, and indeed the field in which the Vedas and the consciousness of all beings are woven. The seers pray that this mighty instrument become 'shiva' — wholly auspicious in its every resolve — so that the human being may be drawn always toward the good. It has been cherished across the ages as a mantra for purifying and mastering the mind.
✦ શાસ્ત્રોમાં કહ્યા પ્રમાણે
Sages and practitioners hold that one who chants the Shiva Sankalpa Suktam daily with understanding gradually finds the mind turning of its own accord away from restless and harmful thoughts toward what is calm, pure and auspicious — as though the prayer itself reshapes the very current of the mind.

Shiva Sankalpa Suktam પાઠના લાભ
A direct Vedic prayer to purify and steady the mind, turning it toward auspicious (shiva) resolve
Chanted to free the mind of negative, scattered or harmful thoughts and to cultivate noble sankalpa (intention)
Supports concentration, clarity and steadfast will in meditation, study and work
Reveals the mind as the 'light of all lights' and the seat of consciousness — a powerful contemplation for self-knowledge
Considered highly auspicious before beginning any sankalpa, vrata, study or important undertaking
Being from the Yajurveda, it carries the sanctifying power of the Vedic word when chanted with correct intonation
Shiva Sankalpa Suktam જપ વિધિ
Recite the six mantras calmly and attentively, ideally after a bath and in a clean, quiet place facing east. Because this is a Vedic suktam, observe the traditional intonation (svara) where possible, or chant it evenly and reverently. Let the meaning of each refrain — 'may that mind of mine be filled with auspicious resolve' — sink in, gently turning the mind away from restless or negative thoughts toward goodness. It is especially fitting to chant it before meditation, study, a vow (vrata), or any important resolve. It may be recited once or in cycles of six.
