Sadashanta (सदाशान्त, IAST: Sadāśānta) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Ever tranquil, perpetually at peace”. From sadā (always) and śānta (peaceful, serene, pacified), this name reveals Viṣṇu as the eternal ground of stillness, undisturbed by the turbulence of saṃsāra.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Śānta is one of the nine rasas in Indian aesthetics and among the highest spiritual states — the peace that transcends all understanding. Attributed to Viṣṇu as Sadāśānta, it affirms that the Lord's serenity is not an achieved calm but an ontological reality, the unchanging stillness at the heart of all movement. Devotees invoke this name during meditation to absorb the Lord's boundless equanimity.
This epithet distinguishes Viṣṇu as the refuge of peace and is found in several Vaiṣṇava hymns alongside Sadāśiva; as a given name it is used in traditional families, though less common than Śānta alone. Pronounced sa-dā-śān-ta, with the long ā and the aspirated śā clearly articulated.
Scriptural source
Sadashanta appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
