Nirvana Shatkam Lyrics and translation:
mano buddhi ahankaara chitthaani naaham
na cha shrothra jihve na cha gHraaNa nethre
na cha vyoma bHoomir na thejo na vaayuh
chidhaanandha roopah shivoham shivoham
I am not of the mind – the intellect, the ego or the memory…
I am not the organs of hearing, tasting, smelling or seeing…
I am not the space, nor the earth, nor fire, nor air…
I am the form of consciousness and bliss, I am Shiva!
na cha praaNa sangnyo na vai panchavaayuh
na vaa saptha dHaathur na vaa panchakoshah
na vaak paaNi paadham na chopastHa paayu
chidhaanandha roopah shivoham shivoham
I am not the Vital Life Energy, nor the 5 manifestations of it…
I am not the 7 essential elements nor the 5 sheaths of the body…
I am not the parts of the body – the mouth, the hands, the feet…
I am the form of consciousness and bliss, I am Shiva!
na me dhvesha raagau na me lobHa mohau
na me vai madho naiva maathsarya bHaavaha
na dHarmo na chaartHo na kaamo na mokshaha
chidhaanandha roopah shivoham shivoham
There is no hatred nor passion in me, no greed nor delusion…
There is no pride, nor jealousy in me…
I am not identified with my duty, wealth, lust or liberation…
I am the form of consciousness and bliss, I am Shiva!
na puNyam na paapam na saukHyam na dhukHam
na manthro na theertHam na vedhaa na yagnyaha
aham bHojanam naiva bHojyam na bHokthaa
chidhaanandha roopah shivoham shivoha
I am not virtue nor vice, not pleasure or pain…
I need no mantras, no pilgrimage, no scriptures or rituals…
I am not the experience, not the object of experience,
not even the one who experiences…
I am the form of consciousness and bliss, I am Shiva!
na me mruthyu shankaa na me jaathi bHedhaha
pithaa naiva me naiva maathaa na janmaha
na bandHur na mithram gurur naiva shisHyaha
chidhaanandha roopah shivoham shivoham
I am not bound by death and its fear, not by caste or creed…
I have no father, nor mother, or even birth…
I am not a relative, nor a friend, nor a teacher nor a student…
I am the form of consciousness and bliss, I am Shiva!
aham nirvikalpo niraakaara roopo
vibHuthvaacha sarvathra sarvendhriyaaNaam
na chaasangatham naiva mukthir na meyaha
chidhaanandha roopah shivoham shivoham
I am devoid of duality, my form is formlessness…
I am omnipresent, I exist everywhere, pervading all senses…
I am neither attached, neither free nor limited…
I am the form of consciousness and bliss, I am Shiva!
