Shiva sankalpa Suktam (शिव सङ्कल्प सूक्त ) शिव सङ्कल्प सूक्त A sukta is a divine song. Shiva Sankalpa means right intention or having an auspicious resolve. The Shiva Sankapa sukta consists of six verses. These six verses are very sacred Vedic verses and constitute a hymn. They are regarded as an Upanishad. In fact some people also call it Shivasamkalpopanishad because although it is part of the karmakanda, it also has adhyatmic significance. In the Shuklayajurveda it forms the 34th adhyaya of the Vajasaneyi Samhita. These six Shiva Sankalpa mantras are also repeated in the first chapter of Rudrashtadhyayi. Chanting the six mantras of the Shiva Sankalpa for some time everyday, is a method to steady the mind. It is also a method to control ones subconscious mind (the chitta), and the faculty of thought. The six verses of the Shiva Sankalpa sukta are listed below with the meaning in English. yajjāgrato dūramudaiti, daivaṃ tadu suptasya tathaivaiti. dūraṃgamaṃ jyotiṣāṃ jyotirekaṃ, tanme manaḥ śivasaṃkalpamastu ...........................(1) 1.
