निवृत्तात्मन्

The one whose self is turned inward, withdrawn from all worldly entanglement

जिनकी आत्मा अंतर्मुखी है, सांसारिक उलझनों से विरत

Nivritti Marg — path of withdrawal/renunciation — vs Pravritti Marg (path of engagement)। Retirement — professional nivritti — withdrawing from career। Vanaprastha ashrama — forest-dwelling stage — gradual nivritti। Digital detox — social media nivritti। Vipassana retreat — 10-day sensory nivritti। Pratyahara (sense withdrawal) — yoga's 5th limb — nivritti practice। शिव nivrittaatman — His soul turned inward permanently — engaging the world from an internal vantage point — acting WITHOUT being entangled — like a lotus touching water without getting wet — supreme nivritti while remaining cosmically active।

ॐMeditate on this name for inward turning. Ideal during Pratyahara practice. Invoke for detachment while engaged. Powerful during Nivritti Marg meditation and sense-withdrawal practice.
