Nirvaana Shatkam

1. Manobuddhyahankara Chittani Naham

Na Cha Srotrajihve Na Cha Ghrananetre

Na Cha Vyoma Bhumirna Tejo Na Vayuh:

Chidanandarupah!!! Sivoham Sivoham !!!

I am not the petty Mind, I am not the proud intellect;

Neither the mighty Ego, nor the minute thought am I.

Touch and hearing, taste and seeing, I am not these sensual feelings;

Am not the element of earth , Am not the elusive ether; 

Neither the fierce fire, nor the wailing wind am I.

I am Truth, Consciousness, Divine Bliss!

I am The Shiva, The Shiva am I 

2. Na Cha Pranasamjno Na Vai Panchavayur

Na Va Saptadhaturna Va Panchakosah

Na Vak Panipadam Nachopasthapayoo:

Chidanandarupah!!! Sivoham Sivoham!!!

I am not the vigorous breath, I am not the vital airs;

Neither the ailing elements, nor the astral sheaths am I.

Organs of action and chain reaction,

Hands, feet and mouth in conversation,

None of these depraved organs am I.

I am Truth, Consciousness, Divine Bliss,

I am the Shiva, The Shiva am I

3. Na Me Dvesharagau Na Me Lobhamohau

Mado Naiva Me Naiva Matsaryabhavah,

Na Dharmo Na Chartho Na Kamo Na Mokshah:

Chidanandarupah!!! Sivoham Sivoham!!!

I am bound to no worldly attachment

I am averse to no earthly entrapment

Greed, envy, vanity, aversion; These phantoms bind me not to delusion

I aspire not, for duty, nor to acquire property

Not even cherish the desire, for eternal liberty;

Cause I am Truth, Consciousness, Divine Bliss,

I am the Shiva, The Shiva am I

4. Na Punyam Na Papam Na Saukhyam Na Duhkham

Na Mantro Na Tirtham Na Veda Na Yajnah

Aham Bhojanam Naiva Bhojyam Na Bhokta:

Chidanandarupah!!! Sivoham Sivoham!!!

Unaffected by virtue, untouched by vice

I feel no pleasure; I face no pain;

No magic chants empower me; No mystic places purify me

I am not the dogma, nor the doctrines

Or the sacred fire of pilgrims 

I am not the sensuous, I am not the sense 

Sensuality to me is utter nonsense;

Cause I am Truth, Consciousness, Divine Bliss,

I am the Shiva, The Shiva am I

5. Na Mrityur Nashanka Na Me Jatibhedah

Pita Naiva Me Naiva Matascha Janma

Na Bandhurnamitrau Gururnaiva Shishyah:

Chidanandarupah!!! Sivoham Slvoham!!!

Frivolous doubts assail me never, Fear of death banished forever;

No pride of castes, no prejudice of creeds, No father or mother bore me by their deeds

I am no friend, I am no foe;

Neither the Teacher, nor the taught am I;

I am Truth, Consciousness, Divine Bliss,

I am the Shiva, The Shiva am I

6. Aham Nirvikalpo Nirakararupo

Vibhutvatcha Sarvatra Sarvendriyanam

Na Cha Sangatam Naiva Muktirnameyah:

Chidanandarupah!!! Sivoham Sivoham!!!

Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent am I

The unfathomable, inscrutable Shiva am I

I am Truth, Consciousness, Divine Bliss,

I am the Shiva, The Shiva am I
