Achyuta Ananta Sridhara / अच्युता अनंता श्रीधरा

🎼 Lyrics in Marathi:

अच्युता अनंता श्रीधरा माधवा ।
देवा आदि देवा पांडुरंगा ॥१॥

कृष्णा विष्णु हरि गोविंदा वामना ।
तूंचि नारायणा नामधारी ॥२॥

मुकुंदा मुरारी प्रद्युम्ना केशवा ।
नाम सदाशिवा शांतरूपा ॥३॥

रूपातीत हरी दाखवीं सगुण
निरंतर ध्यान करी नामा ॥४॥

✍️ गीत – संत नामदेव


🔤 English Transliteration:
Achyuta Ananta Shridhara Madhava
Deva Adi Deva Panduranga ||1||

Krishna Vishnu Hari Govinda Vamana
Tunchi Narayana Namadhari ||2||

Mukunda Murari Pradyumna Keshava
Nama Sadashiva Shantarupa ||3||

Rupatita Hari dakhaviin saguna
Nirantar dhyan kari Nama ||4||



🌸 English Meaning:
O Achyuta, O Infinite One, Shridhara and Madhava—
O Divine, Primal God, O Panduranga! ||1||

You are Krishna, Vishnu, Hari, Govinda, and Vamana—
Only You bear all these sacred names, O Narayana. ||2||

You are Mukunda, Murari, Pradyumna, Keshava—
Your names echo as Sadashiva, the embodiment of peace. ||3||

Though beyond form, O Hari, You manifest in forms—
Nama constantly meditates upon You. ||4||


🪔 Reflection:
This deeply meditative bhajan by Sant Namdev is a spiritual garland of divine names—a nama-mala woven with pure devotion. Each line invokes a different aspect of the Supreme Lord, emphasizing both the formless and the manifest nature of the Divine.

The repetition of divine names such as Achyuta, Panduranga, Govinda, and Sadashiva reflects the bhakti tradition’s power in nāma-smaraṇa—chanting and remembering the Lord’s names as a direct path to liberation. It shows the spiritual simplicity and intensity of Namdev’s devotion, where names are not just labels, but living embodiments of divinity.

In the final verse, Sant Namdev reminds us of the ultimate truth: though God is rupatita—beyond all form—He reveals Himself through forms for the sake of devotees. To meditate constantly upon this paradox is the practice of a true seeker. This bhajan is a beautiful offering for daily recitation, contemplation, and heartfelt surrender.
