Nirvana Shatakam Lyrics in English- Chidananda Roopah Shivoham Shivoham Lyrics
Mano buddhyahamkara chittani naaham
Na cha srotra jihve na cha ghrana nethre
Na cha vyoma bhumir na tejo na vayuhu
Chidananda roopah Shivoham Shivoham (1)
Na cha prana sangno na vai panchavayuhu
Nava sapthadhatur na va pancha koshaha
Na vakpaani padau na cho pastha payu
Chidananda roopah Shivoham Shivoham (2)
Na mey dwesha ragau na mey lobha mohau
Mado naiva mey naiva matsarya bhavaha
Na dharmo na chardho na kamo na mokshaha
Chidananda roopah Shivoham Shivoham (3)
Na punyam na papam na saukhyam na dhukkham
Na mantro na teertham na veda na yagnaha
Aham bhojanam naiva bhojyam na bhoktha
Chidananda roopah Shivoham Shivoham (4)
Na mruthyur na shangka na mey jathi bedha
Pita naiva mey naiva mata na janmaha
Na bandhur na mitram gurur naiva sishyaha
Chidananda roopah Shivoham Shivoham (5)
Aham nirvikalpo nirakara roopo
Vibhutwaccha sarvatra sarvendriyanaam
Na cha sangatham naiva mukthir na meyaha
Chidananda roopah Shivoham Shivoham (6)
